My thought exactly. I have been looking for a good solution for going out in the rain in my wheelchair for a long time. I seem to find at least one item that has a function for disabled people in almost any video or list where people are laughing at 'weird and unnecessary' products
No joke. I train dogs, and one of my hands is usually occupied by an animal and the other hand is filled with a clicker and a toy/treats/other reinforcer.
I bought #10 (claw gloves) and use them to scritch my two huskies atm. They're amazing, and I love them. Can't wait to dig like a honey badger in the front yard this spring.
#3 Umbrella- I want one, or something similar. LOL. Seriously, I use a mobility scooter and this would be great to block the sun or to keep rain off my glasses. FYI the umbrella folds down when you need to come indoors. :)
It may look goofy, but if you're in the pouring rain, you more than likely don't care how you look. It's good if you have your hands full and it's also good for people who have arthritis and can't hold certain items for too long before getting hand cramps. The only thing is, it doesn't look like it would be easy to fold back up.
@@keelyharris1081 Or those of us who have to walk using a cane or other mobility device. It's almost impossible to also carry an umbrella, so I don't bother.
The clawed gardening gloves are good used for digging a small hole or disturbing ground for planting. They are also useful for cleaning out around small house pants and bushes.
Thanks Mike & Tristan👍 this cheered me up🤣🤣🤣 but I must say No.3 could be good, I'm disabled & use crutches or a 4 wheeled rollator & need both hands to use either, so can't hold an umbrella, I might just look for one of these🤔😁
I’m an old person, do not have a cellphone, and gets lots of junk mail. I was thinking just today, not kidding, that I should check on Amazon for a letter opener. Thanks for assisting me in my search. Really, I am not kidding
I'm still trying to process how letter openers are on this list, they are far from bizarre, are incredibly useful, and have saved me from countless paper cuts and destroyed mail. Letter openers make my list for most useful products🙃.
Oddly enough I was trying to design a backpack umbrella a few years ago to hold umbrellas as I take photos in the rain (among other things). Then I found out someone already patented one. While I have rain covers for my camera, I get soaking wet. Maybe I should buy it, or just wear a poncho.
Well... A hands-free umbrella would be nice! Just those would be unusable. One of the problems with inclement weather and wheelchairs is the first thing everyone, who means well, does is try to hand me an umbrella. I can't wheel my chair and hold an umbrella without just going around in circles... In the rain. Oh, wait... TH-cams' comments section, home of going in circles! I fit right in!!!
Many people get stuck when buying "Gas Masks" by not knowing that the FILTER makes for the use. Filters vary by intended use, Chemical particles, Actual Gas, and rarely Biological uses. (Just like fire extinguishers, A, B, C.)
My father was a "water diviner". He dug 3 water wells, in my lifetime. I watched him walk paces on our property with a wishbone shaped tree branch once, and it was hilarious to see, but he got the last laugh when he drew fresh, clean, good tasting water from his new well.
I have a small collection for if the internet is acting up, or the power goes out (laptop's battery could use replacing, but it's got a movie's worth in it).
@Dave Anderson. I think so to because streaming sites are rubbish, ihave signed up to Netflix and Now tv and their film catalogues are terrible i cancelled both of them. Give me DVD any day.
The back umbrella might look bizarre. But imagine having to walk around with a cane and a shopping back in the pouring rain. Or a mobilty device that needs both of your hands.
Gas masks (when the canister is still in *sealed* condition!) are actually a pretty handy thing to have at least one of if you're an apartment dweller. They're not nearly as good at dealing with smoke as a SCUBA unit like Firefighters use, but they'll filter it enough that you don't have to crawl to get out of the building. Also good if someone's smoking weed and you don't want to smell it.

Those garden gloves are actually pretty cool. My aunt has a pair and I tried them out....I wouldn't use them enough to justify buying them. But, if I did garden or have lots of flower beds, I'd definitely get a pair or two
Love how #1 is just there to make you feel old and sad or to tell the younger folks they too will eventually be old and sad. Abit of a dark turn that one is the more you think about it.. Also, I feel you REALLY have to be fan or really WANT to be a fan for that Klingon book to be useful for you.
Number ten: I have not one but two pairs of these gloves and they are great. You use them to make a line to sow seeds in a straight line in your flower beds and also great to make holes for single seeds/seedlings in flower pots
My Grandmother actually loved pickled pigs feet when I was a child. I've never tried it, and I always thought they smelled horrible and looked like a prop for a haunted house. What regions see these as a delicacy exactly?
My Dad was Polish and he loved picked pigs feet. When his father slaughtered a hog in the fall, nothing was wasted. Absolutely nothing. His grandmother even collected the blood to make black pudding.

Some of these products are not products at all. The are used to sell illegal products. If you look at their illegal products on their underground site they will tell you to buy this certain product on Amazon. Then the illegal seller has your address and payment and sends you the illegal goods. I even know a guy who bought drugs like this. They put your address on it with a different name on it. When you receive the package with the "wrong name" you keep it for a week and if the police show up you just say it's not your and you haven't had time to bring it back to the post office. If the police don't come your home free.

My Grandma could pick up any two sticks & find water a.k.a. "witch" a well. She found our families well. Many people in our small town sought her "well witching" talents out to find them a well. She was never wrong as to where to dig. Not everyone can do it. I have NEVER tried. It doesn't interest me. I do think that certain people have something special that lets them do strange things.
I might actually buy that Hands free Umbrella! It would be perfect for when i sit on the porch during a drizzeling or lightly rainy afternoon watching the traffic go by as I slowly get drunk on Rum and Coke. The moisture collects on the porch above me and drips down. Very annoying.
LOL! The wearable umbrella might be nice for sun protection. Yep...I live in AZ. The sun can be brutal walking around the block for a little exercise. This would give more protection than a hat. Of course your neighbors will think you're a nut.
