Probably heard of these before, just common sense / nothing life changing but meh:
1.When you're pouring softdrink (soda) / beer / etc into a cup, tip it sideways so the foam is spread out over a greater surface area. That way you don't have to wait for the foam to go down to get a drink and sit down or do whatever.
2. Another thing my mate did: If you lose your mobile phone charger / stops working; just go to a hotel and say you lost yours there. If you're lucky they could have your model type and gg, free phone charger.
3. Fast scrambled eggs. I dunno how most you make scrambled eggs, but I usually crack them all in a bowl first, add milk, scramble, put in pan, cook etc. That is a slow way of doing it.
The next time you need to eat fast, just crack the eggs straight into the pain and literally scramble them with your tongs. Pretty much exactly the same result with half the time spent.

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.

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.
If you're really in a hurry, just U-turn in the middle of the lane.

Say "I gotta go piss brb." Then instead of going to the bathroom just walk out of the strip club and quickly get in a cab back to your hotel.
Not only will you save all that $$$ you owed her, but it will prevent you from ever going to that strip club again which will save even more $$$.

When taking a dump, lay a piece of toilet paper over the water first in order to prevent backsplashing.

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?)

When taking a dump:
1. place a piece of paper where the poo drops so that it doesn't splatter all over the dish. Sometimes flushing the toilet is all you need to clean up all the mess.
2. take off all of your clothes and place them in some corner. This prevents the clothes from soaking up the horrible smell and also makes you feel free and more comfortable.

I agree too, though, some of the spam in this thread is kind of funny (the body disposal especially). I have a few serious ones though:
1). Live in the residence halls your first year of college. The experience is unique and you'll likely never have the chance again. Keep in mind also that your roommate will always lead to great friends. Either the roommate will be a great friend or you will make great friends so you can spend the night on their futon to avoid your roommate.
2). When riding a bicycle parallel to a curb never cut your wheel and try to make an angled turn into the curb. The front wheel usually makes it over, but the back one will be less angled and therefore more likely to skid. This effect is greatly magnified when the curb is wet.
3). When opening a hobby knife never grip it with your palm; always pull it off with two fingers.
4). Women are always right. The only time they are ever wrong is when they correct themselves later. You can engage in a logically sound debate with foolproof reasoning, but in the end you will lose to a fallacious argument. It's much better to make your point and let it be since most the time she is listening and taking note (even if she doesn't tell you).
5). When experiencing a panic attack immediately get up, walk around outside, talk to someone in person or over the phone, squeeze something in your hand, and start deep-breathing exercises. The rule is that your body can't be in state of relaxation and stimulation at the same time, so the breathing forces down your heart rate while the other activities burn off the adrenaline and focus your mind on other things long enough for the logical thinking to return and panic subside.

Take lukewarm to cold showers.
or start with a lukewarm shower and slowly make it cold so it wont be a shock.
1. you don't feel like staying in the shower for long
2. reduces the vaporization of crap in the shower
3. If you have ashy skin or a ton of flakes this can be aggravated by hot showers. Cold showers are nice for hair and skin.
4. you don't feel all that cold when stepping out of the shower.
saved me a buck or two every month vs me spending 10-15 mins in the morning in a hot shower that made me sleeper i spend about 5 mins in a shower that wakes me up,

Thats called undertaking and its illegal anyways..... so that is probably a better reason not to do it
