Oh my goodness! Do my eyes deceive me, or have bobby pins not yet been recognized for their incredible utility?<\/p>\n
Apart from the obvious use of keeping your hair up or out of your eyes (which they’re really good at), some of the helpful uses I’ve found include:<\/p>\n
As an emergency stylus, either as is or straightened out. As a pointy thing to push a recessed button, such as a hard reset button. As a lockpicking tool. (I’ve only picked things like bedroom door locks, but I have read–no doubt in scholarly journals–that they can also be used for more serious lockpicking tasks too.) As a paperclip, bookmark, or other weak clip to hold something like a bag closed. As a replacement for a broken zipper pull. To fashion a very crude hook or pokey stick thing for any number of purposes, from getting something out of a drain to deflating a ball. <\/p>\n
A bobby pin is just a small metal stick with two rubber ends, which can easily be removed with your teeth if you need a metal end or a finer point, which makes it unusually versatile. The best part is that they’re dirt cheap and super portable. You can just carry them around in your hair!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
