totally off topic but i hate the way cops take it upon themselves to be judges as well as police. i am 4/4 on getting tickets when getting pulled over (including one "failure to keep right" and nothing 20 miles over the speed limit). Obviously get tilted when i read some girls facebook status and it says "got pulled over goin 80 in a 40 and talked my way out of it :-)" Also once got arrested for possesing marijuana at a party when they found 4x as much on a girl and didn't arrest her (i guess because she was crying)

I read this here before and was so excited because every gas station I frequented at the time did not have locking pumps...it didn't work....it MAY fit perfectly, depending on your car.

Similarly, on voice activated menus I just scream "Operator" until someone answers the phone. Don't be fooled, they will try to get you to play their game by saying "I'm sorry, I didn't understand your last response, please try again" or some such. Just keep yelling operator.

That chicken wing one is way too much work. I love the flat ones more than the mini drumsticks and often order only flats, but that was just a debacle. Clearly you eat both sides normally then just punch out the middle part to eat.

this pudding is delicious!

In Facebook, if there's an app that keeps on coming up because your "friends" all seem to like it...move your mouse over it, and click on hide. It'll give you an option to hide your friend, and hide the app. Hide the app.

Also, if your "friend" is one of those who likes to make a status update every 20 minutes about everything happening to her ("Just woke up!", "Picking up the little one now!", "Going to eat now!"), but you don't want to de-friend her for whatever reason...just hide her.

i wish i could do that irl

Everyone here should know this one already, but as it is the most important thing 2+2 has ever taught me I think its worth repeating:

When you are eating a sandwich, flip it upside-down after a few bites. It will taste different. I usually do this after the first bite or two because sometimes one way is noticeably better than the other. If variety is more your concern you can of course just flip it over half-way through.

Probably pretty obvious but do things in parallel paths. After coming home from work I can usually throw laundry in the washer and go work out while it's washing, then put it in the dryer while I shower and eat dinner, and then fold laundry. So in less than 2 hours I can get laundry done, work out, shower, and eat. It amazes/tilts me how many people don't do stuff like this and then complain they don't have enough hours in the day.

Also if you have gmail and think someone has been in your account, scroll to the bottom and click on Details next to "Last account activity" to see the last 5 or 6 IPs that have logged into your account along with if your account is logged in in any other locations.

I flip my sandwich, but for a different reason: When I'm eating a sandwich with a very hard bread (such as a french baguette), I feel that flipping the sandwich over doesn't rip up the roof of your mouth as much.

Although you can use the "Extra Light" variety which has a much higher smoking point.

Just because something's free, it doesn't mean it's worth it.

27,

who is that sweet ass in my face?

Wooden match sticks or paper clips can be used as collar stays.

On the sandwich flipping topic, if you have a sandwich with structural integrity issues I find that flipping it will sometimes allow me to eat it without making a giant mess.

I wondered the same thing last week and had to look it up myself for the full video.

This is a good one. I always lose these things, and this might actually come in handy.

This is just crazy talk. The one and only "trick" to not getting a ticket is to have tits.

But if you are a man, or an unlucky woman, and you get the ticket, do go to the court house. All the stories you've heard are true -- you have a not insignificant chance that the ticketing officer will not show up, and the ticket will be dismissed. And if you are unlucky twice, and the officer does show up, you can still take whatever deal you would have taken in the first place.

Not sure how often anyone here will find themselves in a snowball fight, but just in case (and it might be a good one to teach your kids if you have any)...

Make two snowballs and throw one in a high arc towards your intended target. As they're tracking that one through the air to make sure they dodge it, bean 'em with the other one.

Agree with everything about the cops. I got pulled over one time w/o having insurance or the car being registered. I told the cop straight up as soon as he came to the door and he gave me a ticket for a broken light and gave me a ride to work.

You gotta remember something, they are people too. They don't like being BS'ed any more than you do at work. Also, it's a lot more work for them if you lie and BS. They have to call for back up, ect. If you are honest, they will usually appreciate it and give you a break.

As far as my life trick, If you don't want to iron a shirt, hang it up on the outside parrt of the shower rod while taking a shower. The shower itself will steam the shirt.

Also good with dodgeball! If...you know...you ever play that.

I do this occasionally, but find it's oftentimes easier to use a spray bottle to mist the shirt/pants/whatever with warm water.

disagree about cops being people

Well to be fair, I'm a typical white suburban male that's easy going and doesn't give off a vibe of being a douche.

I read this on here about a year ago:

When swallowing pills: rather than putting the pill in your mouth then taking a gulp of water as 99% of people seem to do, do it in the other order. First tilt your head back and put water in your mouth, then drop the pill in and swallow. This makes it a lot easier to do for those who have any difficulty, and it also avoids any unpleasant taste if your pill is an icky one.
