Life hacks can save us. It can save us time, stress, and money.

Have you or someone you love/admit to knowing struggled with the art of eating peas? You may be entitled to compensation There's an easier way to stuff your face full of peas than fumbling with a rolling collection of legumes on your fork trying to escape consumption. It's called a spoon, sweaty.

But if you don't want to dirty another easily-cleaned piece of flatware, have yourself a hack.

Stick a Fork in it, but be Knife to it

An etiquette expert took time away from getting beat up for his lunch money to explain: "...using the back of your knife, push and spear some peas onto the tines of your fork. You'll have a neat little collection which you can eat with ease!"

One of his fans - oh geez, he has fans? - claimed, "...this genuinely some of the most useful information that I've ever gotten from Instagram." Surprisingly, the etiquette expert didn't correct the user's bad grammar.

A user with fewer bruises and less emotional damage than this chap chimed in with a faster solution: just mix the peas with mashed potatoes. Another offered: The Spoon Solution.

This is going to shock you nobody, but the etiquette expert - William - is British. Sometimes that's not usually bad, but one of his previous posts explained the proper method to making beans on toast.

Wait...I like beans, and I like toast.

DOES THAT MAKE ME BRITISH?!
