It’s not easy to be a man.

From battling teenage acne, failing to get a date for prom, having your mother watching over your shoulder + nagging, to finally getting a date and waiting for her to get done fixing herself up for 2 hours now, and getting a job you so obviously hate - a man’s life isn’t easy.

Man, however, wasn't born to be wimpy, and he has created tools to make life easier. Here are just some "tools" you men (and the ladies) might find useful:

 
1. MagWear - Handyman's Helper Magnetic Wristband

You have all the shiny tools - but they keep getting scattered all over the floor when you're trying to fix something - don't you just hate it when you lose that final screw and you have to find every nook and cranny of your workplace for it? I know I do, and the Magnetic Wristband has an incredibly strong magnet to keep your tools in place - according to the the website spoonsisters.com, "it’s so strong you can actually pile the hardware on in layers". Everyone can use this - no matter how thick your wrist is - coz it uses velcro for straps. Eat your heart out Martha Stewart (I'm sure she uses one too)

2. Big Universal Remote Control

Women don't understand  our penchant for sticking our asses on that couch to watch the boobtube. Often though, a lot of time is spent looking for the remote control. With Solutions.com's Big Universal Remote Control, those days are over. No more wasted time looking for the remote control - it's too big for you not to see it (and too big to get hidden in-between the pillows on your couch). Plus since it's universal, you don't have to retain several remote controls for the dvd, the sound system.. and the list goes on.

Just one big ass remote control for your  electronic devices.

ThinkGeek.com brings us the next tool to make a man's life easier.

3. Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker

Whether it's a date, an appointment, a flight or any schedule where you HAVE to be there - the Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker will guarantee you wake up on time to get there ON TIME. This alarm clock from the folks at thinkgeek has a bed shaker feature and if you don't get up with enough shakes, the volume alarm can get as loud as a jackhammer - and more (113 decibels, 3 decibels more than a jackhammer). Snooze function available. Mr. Punctual you are!
4. Dear Cab Driver Napkins

We tend to forget that the human body can only drink so much alcohol and during those times we resemble a slug crawling the ground, these dear dab driver napkins will "hopefully" bring us to our places. Pray that payment has been made by the one who hailed the taxi, or on the way home, you've regained your ability to differentiate a dollar from a benjamin.

Last but not the least...

5. Rear-View Computer Mirror

How many times have you been caught by your boss sending personal emails or browsing youtube, or you've been caught by the girlfriend checking out a porn site? Never fear, the rear-view computer mirror is here! Don't you just hate people who look over your shoulder? This nifty tool functions as the eyes at the back of your head when you're busy doing something you're not supposed to be doing. It gives you a wide angle view of who's snooping behind your back, or when the boss comes in the door. It attaches to your computer via velcro (another great tool that made mankind's life easier).

To be a man, confronted with the difficulties of life. Good thing there are some smarties born within the population who make these tools, and make life easier.

How about you? What tools have made your life easier?
