If men had uteruses they'd be called duderuses.
My friend had to quit letting her kids go to their father's because their father got lice and the daughter kept coming home with it. Said father refuses to treat his hair, either denying he has lice or saying the lice will go away on their own.

You're in luck, just cut the ends off a whisk and put some little rubber things on them.

How about some extreme thriftiness? This article asks the question, are these things really stealing? The answer is almost always yes.

http://www.daveramsey.com/blog/thrift-or-theft

quote:

1. Taking extra toiletries or condiments.

You’ve paid for your hotel room, so that means you’ve also paid for all the tiny bottles of shampoo and conditioner you can grab off the maid’s cart. Same goes for fast food napkins and condiments. They want you to enjoy a month of free lather and tiny ketchups. Customer appreciation, anyone?


quote:

3. Taking advantage of the return policy.

You’ve landed a job interview, and you need a new dress to impress. But you’d rather not pay to impress. After all, you might not even get the job. So why not use the department store’s return policy as your own personal lending library? You’ll wear lots of deodorant and even lint roll when you’re done. Good as new-ish.



And so it goes.

Last dude is not gonna like the "hack" that solves his problem: clean your whole house and keep it that way, don't let any leftover food inside your house.

But of course someone will propose a better hack involving a lighter and a can of hairspray.

I'm fairly certain fast food places make up a bunch of meat and just assemble your sandwich when you order. Even if they had a bunch of premade stuff, what would stop them from just putting more onions on the premade sandwich?

Also, if you eat fast food you probably aren't already concerned with the freshness of the ingredients.

The guy at the centre of this article claims he tries not to brake if at all possible when he's driving to save fuel, but he's driving a Honda Civic Hybrid. As far as I am aware the batteries in Honda hybrids are recharged with energy salvaged from the brakes during braking so he's really just doing himself a disservice here.

That is a weird-rear end place for that joke to pop up. I actually laughed because it caught me off guard.

Nah, that was a friend's car.

quote:

Unlike most hypermilers, the most fuel-efficient driver on the planet doesn't own a hybrid. He sold his Honda Insight two years ago and bought a 2005 Accord for the luxury of power mirrors, heated leather seats, and a state-of-the-art navigation system.
So as this guy gets 100 mpg and takes forever to get anywhere, I get 20mpg and enjoy driving my car. I don't care about fuel prices even though I pay $6.95/gal.

I'm shocked no one has mentioned Subway yet. I know this because I love Tomatoes not because I'm some kind of shifty shyster.

Tomatoes are the only thing Subway will just keep giving you if you ask for more politely. I routinely ask for "triple tomatoes" on my sub because gently caress you its awesome. Someone once told me they do the same for Spinach as well. This seems like the kind of lifehack thing people would talk about because you gots to maximize your 5 dollar footlong profits.

Then again I had a friend in college who would check the price of everything against the price per pound of the salad bar. This single handedly led to them raising the price of said salad bar once he made a habit of filling two salad bar containers, one with feta cheese and one with kalamata olives on a weekly basis.

So yeah, people do this poo poo in real life and its annoying as gently caress and they deserve to be shamed.

When I was 8, I got a really bad case of headlice that lasted a few months because we were poor and stupid. When I was bored, I would pick out the nits and lice during class and squish them with my fingernails on my desk. The mayonaisse thing, indeed, does not work, and neither does loving lavender like some homeopathic moron convinced my dad.

That's my gross story, thanks for reading.

Lifehack: Tired of thieves stealing your smartphone?

Don't own a smartphone!

e: Here's something I hope is close enough to a lifehack without starting a derail into law, or god forbid, sovereign citizens, who have their own threads. Here goes: Can't afford a lawyer but still want to have a fair chance in court? Ask the public forum reddit.com/r/legaladvice* what to do!

quote:

http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/this-is-what-happens-when-you-ask-reddit-for-legal-advi-1619404235

A while back I asked for advice on a good divorce attorney in another sub. Someone said:

"You don't have to hire the best or most expensive attorney. You need to consult with the top family attorneys in town. The lawyer cannot represent your ex to be if you've discussed your marriage with them. It's a conflict of interest. Read up on it, there are a few tricks you can pull to help even the playing field"

Based on the advice I got I spent the next few weeks talking with like 30 divorce attorneys in town, so that my wife and her dad would not be able to hire one. I never hired an attorney myself because I could not afford one but my wife found one anyway.

Apparently they found out what I did, probably because it was so hard for her to get an attorney, and today I just got hit with a motion for attorneys fees saying that what I did was abuse of process, an attempt to deprive and interfere with justice, bad faith, and a bunch of other stuff. And that I have to pay part of her attorney fees because I made it more expensive for her.

Is there something I can do to stop this? This is in Utah.

The whole article goes into how bad an idea this was, and how it's actually a tip stolen from HBO's The Sopranos.
