8 People Who Stopped At Nothing To Keep Their Batteries Charged

by Connor Toole

Humans have experienced fear and terror in varying degrees since the first cavemen heard something stirring in the dark, but I'd argue our ancestors never had the chance to experience what it's like to truly be scared.

Only those who've been alive in the past couple of decades have had the chance to experience what it's like to face what may be the purest form of dread and panic possible: watching your battery slowly die with no outlet in sight.

When people are put in an infinitely stressful situation like this, it's only natural for them to turn to some solution -- any solution -- they'd normally never consider in less treacherous times.

In these moments, we are truly tested. And even though some of the solutions below probably only deserve partial credit, it's safe to say everyone passed the test.

I think I'd still somehow prefer the situation in the last picture to having to charge my computer in a public bathroom.
