Things are made with a purpose — they have labels to avoid mix-ups, that ready-to-drink juice box has a special spot to be poked with a straw, there are written statements that make a point, and fixable items, so you don’t always have to buy new ones when they break. Yet somehow some people disregard all of these things and prefer to do things in a more roundabout way. They make you question their motives in your head, but to them it’s just another way to do something.
1. Who needs the holes in the roll when you can make your own?
2. Since the tea and coffee got mixed up, let’s just change the labels.
3. Not so secret after all.
4. Irony is when a magazine about the dangers of plastic is wrapped in plastic.
5. Brands are just labels, right?
6. Turns out the sample is the actual size despite the disclaimer.
7. Who knew that a glue stick and clothes pins belong in the cutlery drawer?
8. Because cutting the carpet is easier than cutting the door.
9. Instead of getting a pre-cut piece, someone scooped a piece near the edge.
10. This engraver went the extra mile and engraved the instructions.
11. A hospital was turned into a crime scene.
12. Makes you wonder what the purpose of the label is.
13. Why poke with the straw when you can turn it into a makeshift cup?
14. Hey, whatever works…
15. It’s not practical, but the phone colors pop.
16. Why use the top when you can open it on the side?
17. Solar energy plates being shaded from the sun.
18. Setting a new fashion trend.
19. Fixing a broken clock by placing a new one on top

Born without a nose: This is what Tessa Evans looks like at 10 years old
Tessa Evans, who was born on February 14, 2013, was born without a nose, a rare condition that has sparked admiration and affection from her family and people around the world.
Tessa’s unique condition is known as Bosma Arhinia Microphthalmia Syndrome (BAMS) and there are fewer than 100 documented cases worldwide. Despite the rarity and complexity of her condition, her mother praises Tessa’s “charming” behavior and her “remarkable courage”.
Eight years into her journey, Tessa has become a symbol of resilience. She continues to do well and embrace life to the fullest, despite the challenges presented by her condition, which includes the inability to smell or breathe through her nose.
However, she can still cough, sneeze and catch colds. “It was pretty amusing the first time she sneezed”, recalls her father Nathan, “but we realized it was actually coming from her chest, which was a small but reassuring sign of normality”.
Tessa’s parents, Grainne and Nathan Evans, were stunned when their Valentine’s baby was born without a nose as the pregnancy was uneventful and there were no signs of problems.
A native of Maghera, Ireland, Tessa’s condition required immediate medical intervention. At less than two weeks old, she underwent surgery to insert a tracheostomy tube so she could eat and sleep comfortably.
At just two years old, Tessa achieved a medical milestone when she became the first person to receive a cosmetic nasal implant, marking a significant advance in the field and a remarkable solution to her rare condition.
