Little trick when you are out eating with your friends and you are all splitting the check and naturally none have cash.
Instead of trying to work it out with the extremely stressed out waitress who ordered what, get one check, do the math and write on the back of the check how much she should draw from each card and send them all back. Cuts down on all the hassle and explaining, and you can easily double check the total if you forgotten about anything.
Ex:
Enkil: 68 $
Olof: 97 $
Etc.
99% of all waitresses understand what you mean.
this is not a simple process in countries where you have taxes calculated after-the-fact, and a huge variance in tipping.

If someone shakes your can of pop, simply crash the top a tiny bit to let the pressure out. Sure you lose some carbonation but its better then getting pop all over your self and around you making everything sticky...
Not to mention, there is usually so much carbonation in a pop that you will not notice if you only lose a little.

I don't see how flushing the toilet while peeing saves time. It's not like you have to wait around for the flush to complete if you flush after the fact. You can even do it while you put the seat/lid down.
My 'hack' is peanut M&M's, great for energy and focus.

1) Use keyboard shortcuts for gmail. It'll save you so much time
2) If you need to type up reports with equations often, learn to use latex; I resisted this for so long; once I began using it, I regretted instantly not learning it earlier.

Oh god wow that helps a lot.
In Microsoft Word F8 twice selects the word, F8 three times selects the sentence. F8 four times selects the paragraph. F8 five times selects the entire document. Might not be helpful, but that's all I have.

What if you don't flush correctly?

Oh that's pretty cool. Could be useful in editing essays and stuffs.
And @ the Google Chrome CTRL+TAB tip above, that works in all browsers (IE8, Opera, Safari, FF, Chrome at least. but they're all main browsers)

-eat apples off the core instead of cutting them, saves time (i'm a genius)
-google has the answer to EVERY QUESTION (aimed at fail old people)
-when people offer you shit, save time by skipping the "no, I can't take that" routine and just take that shit and say thanks. My friend's mom taught me that many years ago. Awesomeness.
-if you're sleeping in class and a teacher asks you a question to be a dick, do you're best to somehow answer it, cause then you look badass and they let you sleep unquestioned. I have a gift for sleep osmosis.

This works in Firefox as well, and you can do ctrl+shift+tab to go backwards.
More Firefox tab tricks:
ctrl+page up goes left a tab
ctrl+page down goes right a tab
ctrl+ a number goes to that tab (1 is leftmost, 2 is second leftmost, etc. up through 8, and 9 is the rightmost tab)

When your studying, eat peppermints! Apparently the mint interacts with chemicals in your brain and increases recall. My AP Psychology teacher taught me this awhile ago so i cant remember all the details, all i know is she was a very smart lady so i trust her.
- Also she said to take a shower the morning of a big test (again i dont know the details of it but i trust her). Hopefully she wasn't trollin hahah

OK so I think this has been mentioned but not expanded on fully. As far as dead body disposal goes, my proposal is to take the corpse to the bathtub and drain the blood out of the bastard. It's a good idea to strip down first so you don't get blood on your clothes.
OK so once the body is drained cut it up with the sharpest stuff you've got (This is surprisingly hard but hard work builds character and lord do you need some character). I generally suggest 6 pieces for normal-sized bodies, maybe more maybe less depending. Anyways, put the pieces in some trash bags because they are gonna start decaying and stinking really fast not to mention the maggots and stuff you don't want crawling around.
Now for throwing the bags away make sure you use trash bins in different areas. That's the whole point of cutting it up. A body in the trash bin outside your neighbors house is SO obvious so just dont do that lol. But with the smaller bags you can toss them in dumpsters and whatever and nobody will care because its about the size of a bag of garbage - what sick fuck would guess that you're throwing away some guys midsection? (Oh yeah make sure the bag is opaque lol)
Alright if you were smart you disposed of the bags just before trash pickup and they are being carried to the dump with tons of other shit. And if you double bagged that dude nobody will ever find him that's for sure.
Edit: OK so more info about the smell which is really the worst part about dead body disposal, not to mention it can get you caught. One thing you can do is freeze the bags the night before trash pickup comes. If you don't have the time, spray the bags inside and out with pepper spray. This can be harsh but it throws off critters and even police dogs (i think they still train them to smell bodies?)
This doesn't work as good as it sounds, trust me.

I think this trick might only work if you also eat peppermints during the exam.
Wouldn't be surprised that it's a psych teacher that told you about this :-)

Sounds like it didn't work... /trollface.
Avoid eye contact with people if you don't want them to notice / talk to you.

when in an apartment building, here's a techinque used by the police to prevent the elevator from stopping at any floors until yours:
-When you enter the elevator, do not press the floor button, but hold the closed door button.
-When the elevator door closes, while still holding onto the closed door button, press and hold the number of the floor you wish to go to.
-Keep holding onto both buttons until elevator starts moving, and then let go.
-?????
-Profit!
Works in most new apartment buildings. With any luck, the elevator will move faster than usual as well. Enjoy =D I've always wanted to do this, but i forget to once I have the chance I tried it when I worked at American Express in the city - didn't work. I was sad.
did you work at the call center ??

Alright this is a fairly useful one i thought of. it's really simple and i would have thought a lot of people would have figured it out (maybe they have idk) but i told some of my friends and they had never realized it.
So basically when you're playing the game "pick a number between 1-10 or 1-20" where someone thinks of a number and then people try and guess it for a prize (usually the last of some food or something like that) you should never just guess randomly. First off make sure you guess last or as close to last as possible because the winner of the game is the person who gets closest to the actual number if no one guesses it exactly, which is often.
Therefore, it is in your advantage to guess the number that makes your guess closest to as many numbers as possible, increasing your odds that your guess is the closest to whatever number they chose. This is often very easy, especially with only 2 people playing. Here's a very obvious example:
You and a friend are trying to guess a number between 1-10 that someone is thinking of, make sure your friend goes first. He guesses 9 (a horrible guess with only 2 people playing). If you guess 8, then if the actual number was 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, or 8 you win. Your friend only wins if the number was 9 or 10. That gives you an 80% likelihood of winning which is really good. With 3 or more people it is slightly more complicated and can take a bit more thinking (especially if the range is 1-50 or something like that) but it still definitely works.
However, this is all based on the assumption that your friend is guessing randomly. If he/she has thought this through like you then they will guess either 5 or 6 (assuming its between 1-10) and you will guess whichever one of 5 or 6 that they didn't pick and you both will have 50-50 odds of winning. So its fine to go first in that case just make sure you pick 5 or 6.
Also unrelated, for a hangover the night before when you get home drink a shitload of water. Like as much as you can force yourself to without puking, even wait a few minutes and go back and drink more if you can. Since alot of being hungover is being really dehydrated, you will feel a lot better in the morning. Ever since i found out about this it has helped me a ton, it really works.

IR light off remotes bounce off white surfaces including smooth drywall. If you do not have line of sight to your TV, aim behind you and bounce it from wall to ceiling to TV. Great parlor trick.
