What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected? - eviltoast

I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.

    Not for plugs, but check out bone conduction headphones for a listening alternative to over ear headphones. They just cut your ear canal out of the equation entirely.

      Holy crap that is amazing! Headphones/earbuds are a big issue for me, partly since I am allowed to listen at work, but I am not allowed to have over ears, but especially since most ear buds cause great pain and inevitable eat infections for me. Thank you so much!

      Update: I ordered a pair to try. Twisted my rubber arm.
