I like putting vaseline on my lips overnight (it's best to apply it on damp lips)

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

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.

cracked skin on my soles

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.

For evaluation talks with my employees ofcourse...

I use it to coat my car battery terminals.

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.

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

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

We used it to lubricate seals on a pool pump.

exzema and "slugging", ie cover feet in foot cream (or any other body part/cream type), cover that in vaseline and wear socks for a couple hours or overnight.

Chafe Hotspot while running.

Eczema, where your typical lotion just won't cut it.

It's great for keeping rust off tools. Just the slightest whiff of vaseline will keep rust away for years. I tend to use a spray can of vaseline for that though, not a tub.

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

I use it to prevent chafing when swimming.
