13. Unscrew a broken light bulb with a potato

Removing a broken light bulb base can be dangerous, but a potato makes it safe and easy. First, turn off the power and put on gloves. Cut a potato in half, dry the cut side, and press it firmly onto the broken bulb's base. Twist counterclockwise, and the potato will grip the metal, allowing you to unscrew it safely and avoid cuts from broken glass.
