The humble house brick, used with wooden planks to make shelves for pot plants, books and nick knacks. To chock a car or trailer. Used as a door stop or to hold the gate open. Stacked as a step or stool (when your all out of milk crates) just to name a few.
 
A few of my neighbours have discovered crows and magpies peeling off their windscreen wiper rubber edges for some reason. One neigbour came up with a technique around it. She uses her old stockings to cover them and voila! No more windscreen wipers damaged.
