Use until absolute uselessness

[AnalPenguinFarming]

So as of recent I've noticed that I do something I'm sure everyone else does, and that is use something until it's physically impossible to use anymore (lolpenis).

The main things I've been doing include:

Using my deodorant stick until it fucking kills to apply due to the plastic rim.

Filling my shampoo bottle with water to get as much possible use out of it.

And finally, using razors about 15 uses past the "usable" stage.

What other things do you all overuse?

[Dromedary]

Condoms.

[Polonium]

one piece of toilet paper

My slippers, they're falling apart but they're SO comfy.

[Rawter]

I sometimes add water to my liquid soap despensor when I am running out

THIS. I have a pair of running shoes that are so comfortable but I can't get rid of them. They're just so amazing and also, I can't afford another pair.

I'm currently wearing a pair of trousers that I literally had to tighten with a safety pin, thanks to the waistband breaking.

Fuck knows how long I've had these things, but they still fit and work as trousers (well... just), so why throw them out if all it takes to keep them useful is minor fixes?

This is making no mention of the 2 broken pocket-zips and torn inlay, though. :X

Trainers/sneakers.

I'm not much of a shoe person anyway and I'm terrible deciding what shoes I want to spend money on. So after a pair I have is falling apart (literally - my current pair has holes in the sides of them), I just wait and wait and wait and like cannot make my mind up on getting new ones.

I do it with every pair.

Jeans- I had a pair that were so old, that they felt like tshirt material... SO soft and comfortable. The material eventually got so weak that it began ripping, and after I ripped it from zipper to butthole one day, I decided it was time to retire them.

That, and stuff like liquid soap and shampoo.

I'm amazed, you can read minds!

Fuck myself in the ass.

Everything.

I'm what they would consider a pack rat. I keep everything that I find like some kind of obsessive compulsive collector and then I use whatever the said item is until it has no use whatsoever. Even old clothes become rags and whatnot.

Well, I try to help the environment by saving water so I've been living for about a month now with a tub filled with greenish coloured water. I've been using it to drink, wash, toothbrush, etc.

Every little helps.

[Magical-Zorse]

I do that too, it's because I don't want to go and get replacements.

Shoes.
I am currently wearing shoes that are close to two sizes too small. Well, I am trying to wear.
I am pretty sure I look retarded though.
Also, ties. I will use ties until they pretty much just tear.

[razorbladesigh]

I overuse shoes. They just get so comfortable.

[November]

Cloths. Sometimes I even wear the same shirt twice.

[Catoblepas]

I eat all my food twice. Sometimes thrice.

[DevilTheory]

My penis.

I whack the hell out of that shit.

Food

[o0-0o]

Anything that can last long, like clothes and electronics. I still have my working CD walkman that I've had since maybe '02. Also clothes and shoes, I still have clothes from up to 8 years ago that still fit so I still wear them. I buy new things but I just don't like throwing stuff away, they have sentimental value or some shit, plus I like saving some money. Oh once the clothes are too worn out to be used I use them for cleaning and stuff.
