The secret to surviving air travel.
When you get to your hotel for the night. Take your shoes and socks off and walk around on the rug making fists with your toes.

I've actually used this one when traveling. When I stop at a gas station that asks for phone number for a rewards account I don't have or don't want to sign up for I use (local area code) 867-5309. About half the time it accepts it and I get a small discount at the pump.
I use phone numbers of friends, family, and even acquaintances that live in the area of the store until one takes. Then, I make mental notes of who's number to use where.

Pro tip. We have smart phones now. You don't need mental notes anymore.

I need 3!
Army Me: For what?
Staff Sgt: I need two bodies!
Marine Me: For what?
Staff Sgt: I need one more body!
Marine Me: *sad noises*
And that is how I learned to just fade into the background at every possible chance. Don't volunteer for anything. All working parties suck. Not sticking out is your only chance at lessening them as a boot.
Exactly! That was my point. They never tell us what the job is! They just say, "I need 3!" So how do you know if you're volunteering for CQ or for ****-burning?!

Do you steal these people's extra discounts if they are available?

Just remember to put them back ON before the bullets start flying!

Lmao - no, but, it is tempting when they say "you have $10 in rewards, would you like to use them" to say yes. But, I'm not into petty theft (grand theft is another story!!)

People should start every day with a glass of water. If you slept 6-8 hours, you haven't had any hydration in 6-8 hours. Kick that off properly with a glass of water.
Coffee contains water. What you are suggesting is wasting valuable morning minutes that could be spent simultaneously caffeinating and hydrating. Save the water for lunch.

Something i learned in the army that continues to serve me well: Volunteer for every job that is tolerable, that way when something truly awful comes up its not your turn/you're already working on the other thing.
LOL that reminds me of something I learned from an old boss. The guy was lazy and never actually did anything at work, but he would make it seem like he was going crazy and had so much going on anytime someone would stop by his office. I caught on to him because everytime I would stop by to chat he would have sports message boards on his computer lol.
That taught me a valuable lesson. Always appear busy at work, even if you arent, that way no one will give you extra bs work or volunteer you for dumb zero value add projects.
Was your boss George Costanza?

Also could have been Dilbert or Wally.
Yep, its usually 3-4 gift cards even when I fly business. I just tell them to have a coffee on me.
When your boss comes out of the office starts looking around, do not make eye contact.
Was taught that one at 17 by my manager at Bill Miller's.

I'm on my 4th Roomba vacuum. Run it for 2 years. Take it back, get a new one, of the newest model. Repeat.

Saying you have diarrhea will get you out of any situation that you don't want to participate in. No questions asked. Don't want to go to work- diarrhea. Don't want to spend the weekend with your in-laws- diarrhea. Don't want to spend your Saturday doing chores- diarrhea. Want to get out of a speeding ticket-diarrhea.
You just mention the word diarrhea and everyone stops bothering you. It works like magic.

If he had a female making sammiches he wouldn't need Door Dash?

Holistic planning. It's where you don't trust the man with your money so you use natural substances like witch hazel and thyme (ok fine, you just smoke a bowl) to make all the big financial decisions for you.
That's correct. Ayahuasca will provide my early retirement.

This is correct.
Better than trusting Jim Morrison and that weird naked indian!
A salty Marine Col once told me: "Lt. 13 - 0, never pass up the opportunity to shut the F*** up".
It's better to have everybody think that you're an idiot, instead of opening your mouth and confirming it.

I used "food borne illness" so many times in college to get out of work when the day was just too nice to be waiting tables.
