When i see to much i put it in my eyes

I use it as anti-seize for RF connectors. It allows cables to connect to antennas without getting stuck, even if left like that for years in maritime environments.

I was going to use it to lubricate keyboard switches but it turns out that it's bad for plastics.

Creating silicone dice molds for resin casting. The vaseline acts as a mold release

I had an old Japanese truck, and when I replaced the oil pump you were supposed to pack the spaces around the gears of the new pump so it would pump oil. It was how you "primed" the oil pump.

I like putting vaseline on my lips overnight

The ointment for my overnight dry eyes is half petroleum jelly half mineral oil. I can and have used Vaseline (which is almost entirely petroleum jelly) in a pinch.

I use it on my instruments. Greasing the cork connectors on my clarinet and lubricating the tuning slide on my trumpet.

I use it after cleaning the impeller on my aquarium filters. They naturally collect goop around the magnet bit of the impeller which makes them quiet, but eventually there will be too much goop and they stop spinning or make a horrible racket. If you clean it off all the way it will buzz and rattle for a while. A big blob of vaseline will quiet it down until the goop builds back up.

cracked skin on my soles

I use it to coat my car battery terminals.

We used it to lubricate seals on a pool pump.

For evaluation talks with my employees ofcourse...

Giggity

I use it on my hearing aid moulds, it stops them irritating and creates a better seal.

It's used at festivals - put some under your nose and the portaloos aren't so bad

O-rings. Lube them up so they don't leak in use/dry out in storage for my cheap-o pool, works great.

When I have a squeaky hinge I put some petroleum jelly on the pin and the problem is cured.
