spinoff: useful things to know in life

[HelgaPataki]

please add on if you know anything that could save $ or time, any little trick etc
or a good to know policy from a company you used to work for

If you’re at a rave, nightclub, or festival and don’t feel like paying anywhere from $5-$20 for a bottle of water, tell a staff member that you were give some sort of pill and now feel dehydrated. The last thing they want is a hospital run, and unless they’re really busy, they’ll personally bring you to the merchant table and give you a couple bottles.

Many traffic lights have light sensors. Therefore, you can make a red light turn to green almost immediately by either aiming at the light with a very strong flashlight, or turning your headlights on and off rapidly. Both tricks will make it seem as if you are an emergency response vehicle.

Also, if you pull up to the line at a red light and then back up a few feet, you will trick the light into thinking that there are now two or more cars waiting, and it will change to green much faster.

If you need to bring more than 4 oz. of liquid at the airport with you, put it in your pocket. Metal detectors can’t detect liquids.

Tired of yelling at that telemarketer who just called five times during dinner?

Next time, tell them they’ve called a cell phone or a business. It’s now illegal for them to call you again.

Got a stuffy nose? Cut off the tops of two green onions and stick the onions in your nostrils. Your sinuses will clear up and you won’t have any drippy mucus to worry about.

Sharpen scissors by using them a couple of times on sandpaper.

How to Get FREE Coke from a Vending Machine - YouTube

This trick really works. Back in high school when I played football we used to do this all the time and clean that shyt out. Our machines were filled with Powerades (coke product). Our school had cameras near the machines so people would have to stand in certain spots to block the cameras and also have look outs for admins, and staff.
