Here's some of mine:

  • Camping tables are generally shorter than typical desks, and helped ease some posture issues I had sitting at a desk that was too high for me. (Even adjustable desks still were too high for me at their lowest setting.)
  • When a place I lived in had a washer that was too tall for me to reach the bottom in (from the top), I found I could use kitchen tongs to get things like socks out of the bottom.

If you have small feet to match your stature like I do, there is no shame in buying way cheaper kids shoes too.

I forgot about the kid's shoes trick. It can be hit or miss...sometimes kid's shoes aren't made as well as they're expected to be outgrown. But sometimes the toe boxes are bigger, which I appreciate because it sucks looking for 5 wide women's. (And size 3 men's isn't always available.)

I was outdoors with my girlfriend and I commented on the cute prints in the dirt of flowers. Turns out her shoes were purchased in the kids department. You could tell by looking at them, until she left tracks.
