We are not saying you don’t know how to do these things, of course, you can, but you’re doing it differently from how the maker intended.
What if we told you, you’ve been cutting your cake wrong all this while, you won’t believe, right?
Check out 14 things you’ve been doing wrong your entire life.
1. Charging Your Phone.
The most common advice about charging phones is allowing the battery to drain out completely before charging, but that’s not the problem with lithium batteries, the problem is actually leaving it plugged in after reaching the 100% level, now that’s dangerous for your battery. When you do that, you put stress on your phone battery and this reduces the lifespan of the battery.

2. Cutting A Cake.
We know everybody thinks the best way to cut a cake is in triangles at the edges but this is actually wrong. Cutting it this way means you will be leaving it open which will dry up the insides, taking away all the flavour and sweetness of the cake. The right way to actually do it is to cut through the middle from one end to the other and when you’re done, you just push the cake back together to make it look full again, that way, the flavour and sweetness of the cake is preserved all the time.

3. Holding A Steering Wheel.
You might not have noticed this but you’ve been holding your steering wheel wrong all the time if you’ve been holding it from the upper part or the base. The right way is to hold it in the middle. This is because the airbag is situated in the middle of the steering wheel and so holding it at the upper part means your hands will be resting on the middle part and in the event of a collision when the airbag pops out, you’re likely to get your arm damaged.

4. Using Antiperspirant.
Of course, we all think the best way or only way to use an antiperspirant is right after bathing in the morning but that is actually the wrong way of using it. The right way is actually in the night before you go to bed so that the antiperspirant will do its job of entering your pores to give you that sweet smell in the morning. You’re wondering how we know this? Well, it’s actually written on the container.

5. Applying A Moisturiser.
Everybody actually rubs it into their skin but that’s the wrong way of applying a moisturiser to your skin, you’re actually supposed to dab it on your skin instead of smearing it on your skin.

6. Pouring Juice From Paper Box.
If you’ve realised, when you’re pouring juice out of its paper pack, you always spill some because of how it comes out. Well, you’re having this challenge because you’ve been doing it wrong all this while. Of course, it looks easy pouring it with the opening at the bottom but doing it that way is wrong. The right way is to rather turn the opening to the top before you pour.

7. Peeling A Banana.
Let’s make it easy for you, watch how a monkey peels its banana and you will understand us better. As humans, we actually peel a banana from the base, which is wrong and the reason why we always break it in half or have it topple and fall when we are done peeling. The right way is to peel it from the tip so the base which is the strongest part will hold the banana firm.

8. Washing Your Face.
What if we told you, you’ve been washing your face wrong all this while? Yeah! We know, you’re going to be like, “Yeah right! We’ve had enough of this”. But the fact still remains the right thing needs to be done and it is the reason why you’ve been fighting acne and other skin diseases your entire life. For women with makeup, wash your face with lukewarm water after taking off your makeup. When drying your face, don’t rub the towel on your face like you always do, just dab your face with it instead. This is because the skin on your face is sensitive and doing so only causes minor abrasions and openings for bacteria.

9. Using Razor Blades.
So what do you do with your razor blade when it becomes blunt, you dispose of it right? Well!! There is a better way of keeping it sharp and that is by running it on your jeans. So the next time you’re done shaving your armpit and the razor feels blunt, just run it on your jeans and you will be fine. This will save you money.

10. Packing Your Clothes In Your Drawer.
Do you know why you have problems selecting clothes from your wardrobe especially the drawers? It is because you’ve been packing it wrong all this while. If you’ve been packing it on top of each other, then you should know you’ve been doing it wrong and you will definitely face challenges when you need a particular one. To make things easy, it will be better to pack them sidewise so you can easily pull out a T-shirt you need.

11. Peeling A Mango.
There is an easy way of doing it and getting to the fruit the way you want it without any obstruction from the skin. To peel the mango, cut it in halves and scrape each piece against the rim of your glass and it will easily come off.

12. Holding A Beer Bottle.
You’ve been holding your beer bottle in the middle all this while and probably the reason why your beer gets hot in no time. Your body is warm, in a cold weather, it is warmer and so holding a beer bottle in the middle means you will be transferring your body heat to the bottle. This is why the long neck of the bottle was designed so you hold it from that angle to prevent your beer from getting warm in no time.

13. Rinsing Your Blender.
Don’t hurt yourself trying to wash it in a sink by dipping your hands in it, simply pour some liquid soap into the blender, add a little water and start it as if you’re blending. This is a more effective way of cleaning your blender.
