" When you enter a raffle , shut down or crinkle your ticket of paper a slight bit . "
I’m sure most of us have a life hack that isn’t exactly the best when it comes down to our morals…
So, whenu/Every-Technology-747asked people to sharetheir “evil life hacks”, I decided to round up some of the most upvoted answers:
mark : I ’d take all of these suggestions with a speck of common salt !
1.“Tell the truth 99% of the time. Then when you have that credibility, you can lie and people will believe you.”
2.“I use my ex’s and bosses phone numbers at Kroger’s fuel pumps to steal their discounts.”

3.“I was in a three-person team in Home Ec in high school. I always volunteered to do the dishes. Then when it was something gross like a really greasy pot or pan, I said to the other two that I do the dishes all the time and that they could do it for once.”
4.“Never give away your full hand when you start a new job. Hide some of your skills and talents until you need them to get ahead. It’s always easier to ‘improve’ when you’re starting at 50% capacity.”

5.“In many elevators you can hold down the ‘close door’ button while choosing floor to get a non-stop ride. It’s meant to be used by rescue service/firemen.”
6."‘Kill them with kindness’ is the biggest troll ever. Whenever someone is super mad at you, don’t fight back. Be understanding. Listen to them and don’t respond with anything mean. It will drive them nuts and save you such a big headache."

7.“I have five different 1-litre water bottles, one for each day of the week. I fill them up before I leave work from the filtered water coolers and then put them in the fridge when I get home. Living alone, I haven’t had to buy bottled water or a water filter in 11 years.”
8.“Create multiple email addresses to continuously take advantage of free trial periods for subscription services, effectively getting them for free indefinitely.”
9.“If you’re moving out of an apartment and want to ensure you get your full security deposit back, but you know there’s some damage you can’t fix, take pictures of all existing damages right before you move in. Then, when you move out, if the landlord tries to charge you for anything, you can show them the ‘before’ pictures and claim it was already there.”
10.“When you enter a raffle, fold or crinkle your ticket of paper a little bit. It makes it slightly more likely to be drawn. It’s worked for me a few times, and I feel a little guilty every time.”
11.“If you ever need to get out of a meeting or social event, set up a fake call on your phone. You can use apps that let you schedule a fake incoming call at a specific time. When the call comes in, excuse yourself and say you have to take it. Instant escape without any awkward explanations.”
12.“Need more time on a deadline? Send an email late at night with an attachment you know won’t open. The next day, apologise and send the correct one. Buys you almost a full day.”

13.“Decant any milk you bring to work into a different container and label it with something horrible so that nobody pinches it… And just to worry people.”
14.“Some app games make you wait a certain amount of time to get more lives. Go to settings, put the date and or time ahead, go to the game and get your lives, then set the date back. I haven’t had to wait for new lives in YEARS.”

15.“Confidently stating ‘And you know I’m right’ after presenting your argument can be surprisingly effective. People are often swayed by conviction, even if the logic isn’t entirely sound.”
