If you're battery life is low on your cell phone take the battery out of the phone. Only plug it in before you need to make a call or check messages. You're battery is draining even if you turn it off, this will help in a pinch.
However, turning on and off a phone a lot of times is going to be more detrimental so don't do that.

I feel like there was already a thread like this a year ago or something.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

1) If you are in a hurry and see a yellow light that you definitely will not make at a 4-way intersection,
pull a "Hartsfield maneuver":

-Get into the right hand lane.
-Make a right before the next traffic comes (right hand turns are legal on red lights ^^).
-Get into the Left hand lane of the new road.
-Take the next available U-turn.
-Get into the right hand lane going the opposite direction on that new road.
-Make another right onto the original road (right turns are still legal on red lights xD).


3) If you are lost, only ask people who look normal questions.


do you really think the hartsfield maneuver saves time? you would need a really long red light for this to warrant all the extra turns. also, the u-turn would need to be pretty much clear without any wait or yielding for oncoming traffic. i've pondered doing this move before but i usually figure it would just take longer.

as for 3). rofl

Depends on the red light time and the amount of traffic.
Also, sometimes people in the right turn lane often don't turn so you'er gonna be fucked.

Use two bath towels. Alternate towels each day and hang them so that they have a chance to dry completely. This greatly reduces the growth rate of foul-smelling microorganisms and leaves you feeling clean and smelling good after drying yourself. Nothing worse than feeling like you need to take a shower just after taking a shower.

Hartsfield Maneuver usually only shaves a couple seconds off and sometimes on those really long lights you might get like a minute or so shaved off. I usually do it just for the fun of U-turning at a really high speed though

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 saved a few minutes doing Hartsfield maneuvers and made it to class right on time. It usually only helps if you're familiar with the light and if there is a max of like 1 person already in the right lane. Definitely situational, but a life saver if you're on the look out for them while your speeding to school/work/whatever.

Not that I do this myself, but my buddy in college would always turn his socks and underwear inside out after wearing it once and wear it again to prolong the need for washing clothes.

You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".

Also, the reason the Hartsfield maneuver saves time is because you hit the light as it's turning red, meaning an entire light cycle is about to start. You will have to wait for the other road to do their left turns, then for their straights, then for your road's left turns and then you can go. If you do the maneuver, you usually take your right as the left hand turns for the new road are just finishing.
