Do you use Q-Tips in ways they are not intended to be used?

I use them to swab rubbing alcohol when I'm cleaning my old NES cartridges.

I find that Q-tips do a shitty job of cleaning out earwax, actually.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I still use the Q-tips. I just think they do a poor job.

Once, I used the stem of a Bic pen cap. That thing worked great! Scraped the wax right out of there. But I know that's probably a hazardous route, so I did it just the once. But if they ever released a similar product for earwax removal, I'd buy it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
