What "One Weird Trick" Does A Profession ACTUALLY Hate? *LIFE HACKS* (r/AskReddit)

what one weird trick does the profession actually hate used to work for the city my job was to keep the libraries and public buildings lawns clean and well trimmed there's this one weird trick where instead of bagging up my grass clippings I blow them into the street so that it was no longer under my job description to clean it up my foremen hated that one this one weird trick will piss off municipal workers foremen taxpayers hate him at gas stations at least in my state they have to turn on the air for you to inflate your tires if you ask no need to put quarters in the machine the gas station attendants always make a sour face when I ask so I assume they hate it while her free compressed air a quarter for air well I guess that's inflation for you Extreme Couponing really does work a lady came through my line today and had a preliminary total of 168 dollars and 59 cents after I ran a handful of coupons she got out of there with a total of minus $0.16 that blew my ducking mind even though it was in my line I could only smile and laugh at it I wasn't even that excited when I used to watch that show on TLC back in 2008 we paid her to take merchandise off of our hands my CSM didn't know what to do so had to get up the ASM to my line after he verified I did everything correctly he opened up the till and said give the lady $0.16 what what kind of coupon rather than saying free says a store will give you money to take my sister used to do that stuff she had spreadsheets and notebooks and shit it got to the point that the assistant manager would temporarily open a line for her to check out so she didn't clog up another line for 10 minutes she bought a lot of things she didn't need because she needed them for another coupon to work frequently this would be shampoo and body wash since she didn't need it she'd give it to me I would just stick it in my closet or forget about it one time I took stock I had something like 15 bottles of Old Spice 20 bottles of Irish Spring and another 20 bottles of assorted brands I ended up keeping 5 or 6 bottles for myself and taking the rest to a homeless shelter course who needs that much body Walsh hobos that's who order in glasses from xeni optical online for $12 instead of paying 250 dollars yes that price of $12 includes frames and lenses but they won't have my brand I have special eyes look look with your special eyes my brand eating lessened regular exercises enough to lose weight in most cases yeah true the personality with made a point of only eating salad for four months summer before last the bust had lost 60 pounds zero exercise he said he was saving the weights for when deed lost the flab which he did and then he started lifting a few weights at home zero cost zero exercise ridiculously amazing results total bastard if people knew how often I googled their IT questions I'd be out of half a job I work as an internet sales specialist for a chain of car dealerships and if the average person knew how easy it is to get the cheapest possible price on a new car I wouldn't have a job literally all you have to do is start a bidding war between two dealerships submit inquiries online to both of them and explicitly tell them that you're shopping anytime one of them comes at you with a deal just present that number to the other one they're going to keep trying to beat each other until they financially can't anymore and that's when you have your cheapest price the real kicker to this is that dealers trade vehicles between them all the time and the market isn't as saturated in new cars as you may think if you're looking for something very specific and not super common there's a very good chance that they are trying to sell you the same car airlines don't want you to know this rule us-based travelers can cancel or change their flights for free within 24 hours of booking before someone ducks themselves I want to point out that this law only applies if it's also more than seven days before your date of travel and if you book through Expedia or Travelocity or some third party this doesn't apply some such as ducking Expedia have a $200 cancellation policy even if your flight costs less than $200 and you bought it five minutes ago moral of the story use third-party sites to search for flights but then booked directly through the carrier I used to work at Arby's so the secret trick there is to not eat at Arby's I'm an ER RN this is one trick many people use to get into a room ahead of other people tell them you have chest pain going down your left arm we take that seriously and we'll bring you right back the reason we hate this is more than the fact you are a douche that just cut the 95 year old lady waiting for four hours with back pain it's because you are going to get rushed in have a CBC BMP troponin EKG IV chest x-ray and IV and when the doctor comes in and wants to talk about your chest pain that now has mysteriously disappeared they will be confused as to why you now are concerned about the fact it burns when you pee after hooking up with that chick at a club the other night this requires an entirely different set of tests than what we have just done you are a donk you will be ignored we hate you we will make fun of your burning donk you will receive no creature comforts while there you will not have your call light on cert we have ways of torturing those that knowingly do not follow the rules donc EMT here we hate it - oh the night's shelter filled up on beds and all the sudden you have 10 out of 10 chest pain well your near-perfect vitals say you're probably a liar your EKG looks better than mine and you've been texting on your phone for the last five minutes oh you're allergic to every pain med except morphine what a hard life for you on now you're faking a seizure wonderful I'll call every Medical Research Facility and tell them we have a medical miracle here it's the first ducking seizure where the person has been able to talk to me at the same time they're ceasing rant gift cards don't expire in the state of California if a gift card has a monetary value ie a $50 Amazon gift card then at legally can't expire if it says that it has expired when you try to use it contact the retailer directly and inform them that you live in California they will issue a replacement it's almost invariably thinking you can't do away with an entire profession by using one weird trick as a former web designer for me it's thinking your nephew who knows about computers and has done his own webpages a viable alternative to a professional web developer for your company website but you said you liked the dancing skeleton and flame gifs the 1040 EZ IRS form tens of millions of Americans can use it it takes about five minutes to fill out and it's no harder than completing a library card application the H&R Block Jackson Hewitt etcetera mass-market tax services would prefer that you be a terrified of tax filing and believe it can only be done properly for you by paid professionals and be deluded into thinking an airplane load of money is going to drop on your house that only those professionals can find neither is the case for most people there is no secret path to a giant surprise win full refund and if you get a huge refund you have screwed up your withholding rate and should stop lending the government so much money interest-free in the course of the tax year if you have a simple picture like most people file your form yourself and if you are among the minority with a complicated tax picture the last place you should go for help is a storefront operation in a mini mall get a reputable private CPA complaining at a restaurant to get free food go duck yourself repeatedly if you have nothing at hand feel free to borrow my biggest knife The Electric Company does actually hate a lot of the one weird tricks because a lot of those weird tricks can actually cause what we refer to as one weird death when someone gets electrocuted by summer shots electrical nightmare bullshit capacitor scheme or is running an otter Code grid-tied electrical science project and back feeding what should be a dead circuit or hooks a generator up backwards through a 240 volt outlet after a storm to power the house and doesn't open the main breaker first it works but it could also kill someone if not done right edit I have to say this don't try any home science projects on your electrical system get a licensed trained electrician preferably one with good references to do any electrical work many wiring schemes will work for years until they don't and then they cause instant death or a fire some of the things posted here are not to be taken as a challenge or a do-it-yourself project again these are things most electricians and utilities hate because they can undo kill people yelling am I being detained repeatedly to a police officer will get you off any crime ask your hospital if they have a prepaid discount for most of their procedures we did not have maternity insurance when my wife got pregnant with both our kids I went to the billing office six months before she was due in the nicest Hospital in our town when I asked how much labor and delivery was I was quoted in excess of 12 K I simply asked if there was a discount if I paid in advance I was quoted $2,900 I made payments for six months about five hundred per month and walked into the hospital on the day she went into labor delivered stayed for two days standard and walked out never received a bill repeated the process two years later for our second child I think the bill was $3,100 that time I was positive I would receive another bill but we never have I used to work in medical billing there were hospitals that would reduce the bill by 90% if you paid in cash most disposal problems can be fixed with a few turns of an Allen wrench on the underside of the disposal it manually fixes jams most people seem to not know this and call plumbers instead recently when mine stopped working I discovered the reset button on the bottom as well saved me a lot of money and time the 7.3 litter turbo diesel is one of the finest engines in the world but it has a huge floor in the design of the wiring harness that communicates electrically with the injectors under the intake valve cover this harness works itself loose over time and eventually will present all sorts of issues in your truck check engine light stuttering and shaking at particular throttle positions injector missing etc well if you take a u.s. quarter coin and use an angle grinder to cut the quarter down to the right size you can wedge it into the wiring harness connector forcing it to stay connected tightly for pretty much ever this is known as the 50 cent fix because you have to do it on both sides of the engine here is some info about it you take your truck to a mechanic with this issue and you will pay over a grand to get it sorted ultimately they will fix it with a ten dollar plastic part from Ford those asshole thieves will rob you blind if you let them thank you for saving me $1000 nine hundred and ninety nine dollars and fifty cents just rebooting your computer instead of calling tech support I tried taking your advice and it didn't help at all my phone locked up this morning I've rebooted my computer three times but my phone is still locked up not sure if it's one trick but here goes I was seeing a chiropractic doctor three to four times a week to adjust and pop my back then lie down on a weird massage chair with electric notes on my back and shoulders with the Voodoo promised that I would feel better I was strictly forbidden to do any exercise I was 22 pretty skinny never had any back or neck injuries there was no history my back just sort of hurt when I tried to sleep so of course duck that guy I went to the gym and through bad form kept hurting or pinching my back and shoulders twisted my legs knees but eventually got the form down and started working on my back Dead's squat et Cie I'm 27 now and haven't had any issues sleeping or any need to go visit that back cracking practitioner so I guess TLDR strengthening your back at the gym is the worst thing you can do to a chiropractors bottom line police officers hated when you say no comment and wait for your lawyer there are so many completely legal tactics and tricks the police can employ to get you to confess shit there are also so many unpredictable implications of answering even the most innocent questions if you are arrested just remember the police are not your friend and they do not have your interests in mind do not say anything to any of them not the arresting officer not the guy behind the desk not the guy who brings you food no one there's a reason why your right to remain silent is specifically stated because it's one of the most important rights you have use it [Music]
