I love a good TikTok hack for everything from folding laundry to cooking to storage (especially storage). One of the best hacktokers is Dustin Hadley, more commonly knows as That 40 Year Guy.
You’ve probably seen one of his videos shared on any social media platform. He’s now got 3.9 million followers and amassed a whopping 86 million likes, his videos usually start with “You’re telling me for forty years … HA! Ain’t no way.” Some of his leads in are more suggestive 😉 than others, but his TikTok is full of useful hacks I would never have thought of.
And he rakes in the views too, with many surpassing 1 milion views easily! He’s fun, he’s entretaining and he’s bringing the life hacks we all want and need!
Let’s share a few of his top bangers with you!

I’m an android girlie, but everyone else in my house loves their Apple products. These tips are so handy for Apple users.
1. LOST YOUR PHONE ON SILENT? Just ask Siri! She’ll soon start speaking and you’ll locate your phone in next to no time.
