Sometimes, you have to fall back on rudimentary, desperate, college student-level engineering just to get through the day. Don't I know it. Why suffer a broken shoelace when you can zip-tie your sneakers up for the rest of the day?
And we sure do hope that most of these solutions were of the temporary sort. Because as permanent fixes, they tend to leave much to be desired. But you can't say they're not creative!
