THE DIY FAUCET FIX
A parent decides to DIY a faucet extender rather than buy one, turning a $10 problem into a 10-minute build that yields a cheeky money-saving punchline.
Buy it or make it yourself?

The $10 faucet extender never made it to checkout, because a parent spent 10 minutes making one instead.
It started with a simple request: the poster's wife wanted to buy a faucet extender so their son could wash his hands more easily. It would have cost about ten bucks. Instead, the poster decided to handle it another way.
Rather than order the part, they built something themselves.
According to the poster, the job took about 10 minutes total. That included cutting the piece to size and filing down the sharp edges so it would be safe to use. The finished result was a homemade faucet extender, made to solve the same problem the store-bought one would have.
The poster summed it up with a dry little line: "Took me about 10 minutes between cutting and filing down the sharp edges."
And then came the punchline: "Saved about $1/minute lol"
That was the whole exchange, a small household fix, a cheap alternative, and a bit of DIY math. The wife wanted a $10 solution. The poster made one instead.
