If you need something done quickly, find a lazy person to do it. They'll find the shortest method to do it so they can get back to surfing the internet.

Uber Eats often has buy one get one free specials at local restaurants. You can opt for pickup, and you will get two items for the price of one without the delivery fee.

Some of Chase business cards have no annual fee, high sign up bonuses, and you dont need an actual business to sign up for them, you just sign up as a sole prop with your SS #. These are typically the most churnable friendly credit cards as well. Can fly to Europe and other places for free by signing up for these cards.

Avoid crowds.

I don't care how much I like the band or whatever entertainment, I avoid crowds. One stupid person can cause a lot of problems when a crowd is involved. It is a reason I don't go to Robert Earl Keen shows after being a fan for many years

Door Dash at nearly midnight. How embarrassing.

The whining about females makes much more sense now.

Lol. I was wondering which dumbass would say this. Congrats man.

I'm not embarrassed. I was sick and needed pedialyte, crackers, and medicine. No one else was home.



Just cause your fatass is having chicken wings after 10 every night doesn't mean the rest of us are.

And wtf is whining about women? I love women.

Are you okay, man?

Agreed. I scout out the venue prior to buying tickets. I refuse to go to Aggie or pro football games.

I might do a midweek baseball game or a non-con basketball game.

Yhonny has to go back.

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

Adding, " Explosive " works even better. No questions. They get out of your way.

No kidding I got to knock on REK's hotel room door to escort him to a staging area for GW Bush's inauguration '05 in DC. Those are the three things he checked for before leaving his room.

Posted it before, prior to email, but if you carry an inter-office mail envelope on a rather large office or campus, you can go anywhere. People will open doors for you, etc.
If you're caught, "Sorry; wrong office/building."

A clipboard works about the same…except nobody wants to talk to you.

Costco's return policy

---

I have a buddy who bought a bike from Costco for the MS150 ride from Houston to Austin - and then returned it for a full refund.

---

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

---

So, do they suck or not?

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.

---

Yep. I got pretty good at the ear hustle game, and if I got wind a series of details were coming up, I'd find the easiest/most tolerable and volunteer for that.

Also I learned to "eat while you can, **** while you can, sleep while you can" because you never no when you'll get a chance to do any of those things in peace again.

Driving 25mph in downtown Houston to catch all the lights green.

Signal timing 101.

90% of the time, coordinated systems are done via speed limit. So accelerate to the speed limit as fast as practical and odds are you will rarely slow down so long as traffic isn't insanely heavy.

EDIT as NSFW

When the boss is around, always look busy and just very mildly annoyed. Even just walking around quickly or looking intently at a computer screen like you're Nick Cage looking for clues in the Declaration of Independence can be good for optics. The caveat is you also have to get **** done though.

When dealing with subordinates, treating people with respect but also setting clear expectations is always the best strategy. If people are falling short, tell them in a matter of fact, not condescending way. Try too hard to be people's friend and they'll walk all over you, but if you're always an *** they'll do JUST enough to keep you off of their back and nothing more while hiding mistakes that could be costly.

Also, set reminders in your phone for important dates (deadlines, important bdays, etc.)

The promoter booking a 110 lb heavyweight with an 0-2 record to fight Iron Mike should be disbarred.

No excuse for robbing fans money on that farce....

You get better gas mileage if you keep your tank at least half full.

---

Wouldn't your car weigh less with an empty tank meaning mileage improves as you burn gas?

---

Maybe!

Google says it's a myth but it works for me. Maybe there are other factors that are causing it instead of the gas tank being full.

---

The other factor is that automotive fuel gauges are well-known to be non-linear.

---

It is linear based on the height of fuel in the tank, but not the volume.
