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 $$$ you owed her, but it will prevent you from ever going to that strip club again which will save even more $$$.

Do you have to win every thread you post in? Cant you leave some for others?

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

Maybe in the UK but i'm unaware that it is in most of the USA. Most of the USA also has right hand turns on red light, as long as you treat it like a stop light and stop before hand, we also allow white lining/lane splitting w.e you wanna call it for motorcyclists. All this varies by state, and if you're traveling across USA you should always assume it's all illegal i got pulled over in Florida for making a right hand turn on a red light, lucky the police officer was lenient, he could have easily seen out of state licenses plate and sealed the deal on a ticket. As i clearly could be wasting my money traveling back there just to contest it in court.

Enjoy

SOS Morse code on cross walks is what the paramedics use to stretcher someone across the street. Next time you need to cross, press 3 short presses on the button, 3 long presses, and 3 short presses again to change the light so you can cross the street. Do it at a rather quick pace to get it to work.

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.

If you forgotten someone's name who you've just met and are a bit embarrassed for not remembering.

You : Sorry, what was your name again?

Stranger: Steve etc.

You: *pause*..Sorry I meant your surname.

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.

If you are ever lost in an area without any source of navigation, drive around until you find a deli/pizzaria that delivers, make a large order to another house on your street(so that you can spot the correct driver), and follow him back.

-Get your food grilled at taco bell
-Ask for no ice when getting drinks at places like sporting events, if you're going to get charged 5$ for a cup of soda it might as well actually be soda and not 90% ice.
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

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).

2) Cooking is like doing a timing attack Build Order.
-Pick some stuff you think will go good together.
-Use some utensils to micro the individual pieces.
-Don't let your macro slip or you will lose the game.
-Make sure everything is ready to go at the same time.
-Mass games until it's perfect.
-If all else fails, download some pro replays and copy their builds.

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

Omg made my day lol. But so true.

- don't try to hook up with girls via FB it will not give you results...just ask her for a phone number and your golden

my biology teacher gave me this one the other day:
If you feel like you're about to fall asleep, wiggle your toes like a madman. It'll restore circulation and keep you awake.

Not everyone is so nice in the states - it's funny how many people dick around and give you wrong directions just for shits and giggles.

If you want to live in a foreign country, get a job as a "native english speaker". Anyone in America, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand can get a decent easy job in just about any non English speaking country. I don't understand how these countries have so many unemployed...

It is if you stop before hand.
Street red lights just like stop signs. You sir need to go back to driving school.
