You've all heard it before. Unseen servants come in handy. Seriously. My question is: HOW handy? Better than Grease? More useful than a Bag of Tricks? So let us come together in the name of United Pathfinder Fans Against Boredom (UPFAB) and list 101 uses for a seemingly endlessly useful spell:
1-Caltrop Delivery System: Have it move 15ft forward and scatter caltrops
2-Potion Administration: It's only a standard action, and how hard can it be to pour a potion down an ally's throat?
3-Crossbow Reloader: Because I don't have enough BAB or Feats for Rapid Reload.
4-Weapon Holder: In case I need a free hand for . . . something
5-Door Opener: Sometimes you don't want to be the one to open that particular door.

17. Carry a plate of fresh meat across water to safely lure sharks and the like to the surface.
18. Carry a large magnifying glass through a swarm to focus sunlight into it.
19. Safely clean perilous-to-reach surfaces (skyscraper windows, the Sphinx's nose, etc).
20. Safely muck out a dangerous monster's room.
21. Retrieve an object from a room filled with poison gas/baleful magic/vacuum/similar perils.

27. Grab the guard's keys off the desk. The material components are only a piece of string and a bit of wood. That's not too hard to scrounge up, even if you're stripped of all your items and tossed in a dank, dark cell (I know, because I did this recently).
Of course, Mage Hand can do the same thing and has no material components. Unseen servant, however, lasts for hours with a single casting, thereby not exposing you to risk by repeat/close range castings.

32. Mine carries all my stuff for my STR <10 casters.
33. It fetches different wands/rods/potions for me so I don't provoke in combat. (yes, one AOE and it's gone, but I have like 7xday with my bard who almost never uses 1st level spells now)
