life can be tough so it's no surprise that some of us try and make the best of whatever glitches in the matrix we can find little loopholes that have loud the lucky and opportunistic to charm or chance their way into free flights free food and even free money get ready to be amazed by these ten loopholes that are basically glitches in everyday life [Music] number ten the man who made every day his birthday to get free coffee the world of coffee making is a competitive one which is why chains offer loyalty schemes to try and keep their customers coming back this was probably the thinking behind Starbucks his decision to offer patrons a free coffee on their birthday which was nice until one customer took things a little too far Starbucks barista Brad Halsey revealed on eater calm that one calculating customer purchased three hundred and sixty-five loyalty cards and registered every one of them online so he could get a free drink every day of the year he orders the exact same each time and the crafty customer is very specific about his order which includes two pumps of white mocha five pumps of vanilla and heavy cream up to a specific height number nine a Canadian town created its own currency some people think that creating a regional currency will help the local economy by ensuring people will shop locally this was presumably the idea behind the deme which is a currency accepted in the gaspé region of québec since at least 2015 of course creating a new currency from scratch takes a lot of planning you have to decide who is going to appear on the new notes who's going to print it and set up laws which define and control the use of the currency however enterprising people of gaspé decided to simplify things they just used their regular currency the Canadian dollar and tore it in two thus creating and the deme the newly ripped notes are worth exactly half of what they previously were so a torn 20 becomes two tens remarkably this practice is entirely legal though the Bank of Canada does think the practice is inappropriate number eight New York cabby wins an apartment for life certain hotels in New York are subject to a little-known rent stabilization and New York City Administrative Code this law states that SRO occupants ones where tenants typically share bathrooms or kitchens who ask for a six-month lease or more in writing will be made permanent residents of the property and only have to pay a poultry 226 dollars per month in rent once they pay this figure they can't be evicted mr. hora rented a room in the Chelsea Highland Hotel in August 2015 for one night and then requested a six-month lease the hotel was registered as an SRO and was subject to the relevant law the landlord was now required to give him a lease for life the hotel's owner didn't take things lying down and locked katara out of the apartment hua tarah then took things to court and the court ruled in his favor arguing that the landlord should have known about the Lord given that another cab driver had done the exact same thing in that very Hotel the previous summer number seven the $100 gambling promotion guaranteed to pay out like loyalty schemes in cafes some gambling sites like to give away free bets to encourage repeat gamblers Canadian website play now calm is one such site their 2010 promotion offered customers a $100 free betting token if you deposited $100 of your own money before October the 5th of that year the catch was you actually had to spend that $100 before you got your token so unless you were a brilliant gambler you were likely to lose about $100 before you get your free voucher unless you are playing a game called baccarat that is the game works like this either your cards add up to the highest or the dealer's do a number of customers noticed that if you place the $50 bet on yourself and put the other $50 in your account on the banker you were guaranteed to win your money back repeat those steps again and your up $100 and now you are also eligible to qualify for the hundred dollar bonus voucher once you subtract the two dollar 50 processing fee you walk away with $197 50 that is if you stop at this point if continue you risk winning or losing according to the normal rules of the game number six bar declares all clientele to be actors so it can circumvent smoking ban when Minnesota passed an anti-smoking law in October of 2007 that banned the use of cigarettes in local public houses they tried their best to get around it fearing clientele would be put off attending their bars because they would not want to stand outside in the incredibly cold Minnesota climate luckily there was a loophole if you were an actor in a play and your character was a smoker then you got to puff away at your heart's content tanks bar declared they were staging a continuous play where every one of the cost just happened to have no lines and only one prop a cigarette while Brian boomin owner of the bar at the rock in Maplewood told The Associated Press that his clientele were in a play playing themselves before first of October you know before there was a smoking ban number five junk mail check pays out junk mail checks are not only annoying but also an excellent waste of trees that tend to go straight in the bin ordinarily that's what Patrick Coombs would have done but on this particular day in May 1995 he decided on a win to attempt to cash the non negotiable check worth ninety five thousand and ninety three dollars and it's paid out cooms assumed it was a clerical error and left the money untouched for a few days believing it would promptly disappear when it didn't he decided to investigate a little further it turned out the cheque issued by Association of Certified Liquidators was actually legal tender despite the fact it said non-negotiable on it the company had been so concerned with making the cheque look real they actually succeeded in making it so he withdrew the money and put it in a cashes cheque which was then stored in a safe deposit box within his bank once they got angry about him withdrawing the money and tried to scare him combs went to the media with his story and wound up writing an award-winning show Man 1 bank 0 about his whole experience eventually he gave the money back number 4 murder is completely legal in one part of Yellowstone Park in the US if you happen to have murdered someone under the sixth amendment defendants are entitled to a jury composed of people from the federal district where the crime was committed in most cases this isn't a problem however what if the murder was committed in the Idaho part of the Yellowstone National Park well since the district of Wyoming has control over all of the Yellowstone even the parts of it in Minnesota and Idaho a jury would need to be comprised of the people living in the Idaho part of Yellowstone but here's the problem as you might have guessed no one actually lives there hence its nickname the zone of death this means a jury could not actually be formed therefore the defendant could not stand a trial and could not be prosecuted thus far no one has exploited this loophole though Professor Brian Celt has lobbied to have it closed almost the decade after he pointed it out nothing has been done it still remains open don't get any ideas he murderers number three man gets one point two five million miles of air miles by buying pudding one day in May of 1999 while walking around his local supermarket David Phillips noted an offer on a healthy choice frozen dinner box it said anyone who collected ten barcodes from their boxes would get five hundred frequent flyer miles in return if they were mailed out before May 31st the miles would be doubled so he bought 12150 of healthy choice products shopping around in cheaper outlet stores to maximize his profits there was only one problem the May 31st deadline was almost upon him and he still had to remove the thousands of labels and send them off Phillips quickly thought of a solution he donated the cans to his local Salvation Army in exchange for the volunteers help in peeling off the barcodes after initially claiming they never received the labels healthy choice honored their deal and Phillips received 1.25 million free air miles at a cost of $25,000 to the company Phillips spent a considerably smaller figure of three thousand one hundred and forty dollars on the cans of pudding and soap and that's one hell of a return number two gun owners can own illegal assault rifles if they assemble them themselves gun owners and libertarians in the u.s. often complain about what they perceive to be restrictive gun laws that prevent them from owning things like ak-47s and large-scale missile launches so they found a way around these restrictions it might be illegal to buy these kinds of weapons but it's not illegal to build them retailers also don't have to report when they buy pot kits with everything you need to build a gun the thing is complete guns come with serial numbers which can be tracked but gun parts don't this loophole has even started its own cottage industry there is now a computer connected milling machine people can buy that will help assemble their guns for them some even managed to print their own guns with 3d printing that's ingenious number one in England you can own perfectly working guns if they're antiques unlike our gun loving friends across the Atlantic us Brits frown at gun ownership in fact here in the UK ownership of firearms is completely illegal with one exception if the guns are antiques the idea was that this exemption would help collectors and it probably has but it has been used by criminals who have noticed that some of these antiques are still perfectly usable in recent years Scotland Yard has reported a number of murders and shootings that have been carried out using old handguns rifles and submachine guns part of the problem is that what constitutes an antique is in the 1968 Firearms Act which is vague and its interpretation is often left up to local police officials there has been a movement to make this loophole disappear but as of yet it hasn't been closed are there any other real-life loopholes you can think of maybe they deserved a spot in this video let me know in the comments down below also if you enjoyed this video

I need more evidence to believe the title is true, until then, I shall continue believing that this was just a verbal slip up.

Naw, there was a typo in the copy he was reading, or he was thinking of the other state and had a slip of the tongue. There's no way to mispronounce Montana as Minnesota. He said the wrong thing.

Zone of death? That's gotta be the Bechler region, right? Death by mosquitos maybe...
