I worked at Ikea and learned some game changing hacks, including how to remove those annoying straps WITHOUT scissors
THERE’S nothing more annoying than struggling to find the scissors when you’re trying to open a box.
But one man who worked at Ikea has shared a game changing hack to get those annoying straps open without any scissors.
“Things I learned while working at Ikea,” he wrote over a video on his TikTok page.
He then demonstrated the hack – pulling the blue strap right at the seam.
As he did so, he pulled it down, leaving just one thread remaining.
He was then able to easily pull that thread to break the strap in seconds.
“You can open these things with no scissors,” he added.
People were quick to comment on the video, praising the man for sharing the trick.
“Feels almost illegal to know,” one wrote.
“whaaattt ???” another added.
“you’re doing the Lord’s work here,” a third commented.
“I work at Ikea too and I have never realised that!” someone else said.
“I always use the knife!”
“Say WHAT?” another wrote.
“EXCUSE ME YOU CAN WHAT??!” someone else said.
But others insisted they’d known the hack for a while.
“learnt this as a kid with a paper route,” one wrote.
“i learnt this while i was working at a factory,” another said.
As a third commented: “Learned this about 15 years ago distributing flyers.
“Everyone I show it to still gets impressed.”
