Azeem Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Are you too systematic ? Or you always find an alternative for almost everything Share any trick or hack that you find useful in daily life/chores
Administrator Stan Posted June 15, 2019 Administrator Posted June 15, 2019 I find the easiest way to do something and stick with that. Why make life difficult for yourself?
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted June 15, 2019 Subscriber Posted June 15, 2019 Yes, now I have retired from work my bills get paid every 4 weeks off my State Pension (not a calendar month) done this for 5 years now and on a Thursday morning I will isolate myself in the back room and go around via the internet (via telephone banking) and pay the bills, some bills I do begrudge paying like council tax and the bloody tv licence but I pay them all and sit and relax knowing we (wife) are not in debt.

You didn't know this? TV Licences should be abolished and I have always said that the BBC advertise anyway in a sneaky way, not like ITV, you look at all the sport matches they show on the BBC you will see advertisements in full view on billboards and on fences around the ground, shows like Open all Hours about Arkwrights shop with all the goods in full view and a lot of other shows on the BBC that show the insides of a shop with all the brandmarks in full view. The BBC should just advertise like ITV and let them pay the price of advertising their goods, don't tell me there isn't a few back-handers money wise with a director or producer will say to a company "Give me a few quid under the table and I will make sure your goods are in full view for the viewing public".

Harry Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Life hacks then. Upon returning home from the shops no matter how many grocery shopping bags you have in the car, they must all be brought in via a single trip.
Dr. Gonzo Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 I keep one of those plastic tub things in the back of my car so the groceries don't spill all over the place. Is that a life hack? Seems like a life hack.
Dr. Gonzo Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Also if you befriend a bartender, you can get drunk cheaper when you go out. That's definitely a life hack.

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted June 17, 2019 Subscriber Posted June 17, 2019 Recent life hacks? Hmmmm Get a managers job at work so you can tell your missus you have more important meetings than you actually do and get extra trips to the pub after work. I had about 3 last week.

Azeem Posted June 17, 2019 Author Posted June 17, 2019 A friend of mine who was really good with cars knew lots of methods and tricks for car maintenance like changing tires without the usual tools, too bad i don't own one so never took him seriously.
Toinho Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 I would always use my hands to open a jar (salsa, pasta sauce etc), but I had an injured hand once and the gf told me to just use a sharp knife to quickly jab a hole in the top of the lid, and therefore it’s easy opening. Changed my life.

Changed my life. If I can't open a jar I just use a bottle opener to slightly lift one side of the lid to let some air out and break the vacuum seal. Done.

Hmm not bad. Gotta get me one of those Japanese heated toilet seats first though.

When I was in the hospital in 2017 after my lung op I was constipated so I told the nurse, she gave me some laxatives and said take them, they will make you move, last time I will ever take them bastards again, I was scared if I tried to fart I would shite myself, they were fucking lethal and I made sure I never wandered out of the ward for a walk or some fresh air and I made sure I was right near a ward toilet.

Nothing great was ever achieved without dedication,passion and enthusiasm... or you could just go the easy way and suck up to senior management at every given opportunity in every job you do all the while dobbing your workmates in for any wrong doing.. that way you will at least give the impression you are a 'company' man and worth promoting...
