Resourcefulness When Resources Are Gone

Yesterday, my building had no water the whole day, they cut it off because they needed to do some maintenance on the pumping system. I work from home every day, so it was interesting to have the experience of no water for an entire day.

The biggest annoyance was trying to wash my hands. The night before, I had to fill up all the jugs we had in order to have enough water to wash our hands. But when you think about it, this process is super inefficient.

I had to put some liquid soap on my right hand while pouring water on top of it with my left hand, and then switch. I needed to grow a third hand, but that would have introduced a whole new set of problems.

I was having lunch and a weird idea came to me. It consists of taping a funnel to the sink and putting more tape at the bottom to control the stream of water. It's too hard to explain, so thankfully I recorded a video instead:
