Maren Macgyver

Okay. The only reason I am Maren Macgyver and I had to use my sweet skills to get me out of a sticky situation is because I'm a total dork.




The other day, I was getting in the car to head to work. I put my phone above the steering wheel while I put my bag in the back and keys in the ignition (as I always do). Then, for some reason, the phone fell....BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL! Like, into the car! It was so far back there that I couldn't see it. I was totally freaking out because I thought it would destroy my phone and the car. I hurried and turned the car off. And the, I got resourceful. We had hangers and tape in the car, so I fashioned a little pulling device by putting a roll of tape on the hanger. I then proceeded to fish my phone from behind my steering wheel. 15 minutes later, BAM! My phone is out.


And that, my friends, is another proof of how awesome (and stupid) I am. (I also took pictures of my process in case it actually worked)

The little hole behind the steering wheel is where my phone fell. You can barely see the silver lining from my phone back there.


My sweet device

BAM! Here it is! Hooray

  1. Truly impressive. That would be perfect for all those items that fall between the fridge and the counter top! so annoying when your last quarter falls there and you cant get it out to buy a nice cold diet coke!

  2. You sneaky devil you. Good job getting your cell phone out. I would have probably just cried. I just noticed our backgrounds are the same. Who would have thought?
