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.
While back, someone in my party use Unseen Servant to solve the classic 'get sheep and wolf on other side of river without the wolf eating the sheep' in wall puzzle form. Naturally the puzzle activated a huge trap that would've likely killed us, but it didn't!
6. Pissing off your DM =D
7. Trapspringer. Fill a bag with 100 lbs. of worthless items (rocks, sand, spoiled foodstuffs, whatever) and have the unseen servant drag the bag in whatever direction the party wants to travel. It is advisable to bring multiple bags or have decent sewing skills.
10. Pick up anything the enemy has been disarmed of and drag it over to me.
11. Clean up the battlefield afterwards.
12. Polish my armor.

14. Seat guests at a swanky dinner party.
15. Doorman.
16. Deliver a life preserver.
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.
24. Make a 101 topic.

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.
28. Paint your house.
29. Make your bed.
30. Wash your dishes.
31. Pack your suitcase.
36. Fake an invisible opponent failing to sneak across the battlefield.
37. Handy assistant to the cook.
