I was flying Air New Zealand once and when I got up to the counter they told me the flight was overbooked. I was polite and just asked when the next available flight would be, their response was "we can pop you in business class instead"
Next guy in line lost his bottle and was bumped to the next flight.
I've never once seen somebody being rude help them achieve their desired outcome.

Ask to get it in writing. If someone is refusing you things you know you have the right to, request that they write (or type, doesn't matter) what they said on paper. They will back down almost 100% of the time. It goes from they said/I said to a legally accountable document, and if you're being gaslighted, they know they're denying you your rights it and would never want to provide you with a document that confirms that they were talking s**t.

The word "no" is a complete sentence. It is the most powerful cheat code.
#5
You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

Prepping yourself the night before for the next day will help you stay on top of things.
Like setting up your coffee maker to just have to press a button in the morning, making your lunch that night for the next day at work, cleaning after you cook dinner so you’re set to make breakfast in the morning. Small things like that really help get the next day moving better.

Set your outfit out including shoes & accessories. Put your wallet, keys, purse, glasses (anything you might go searching for in the morning) in all of their correct places. Prep your breakfast items and put them all together in one spot in your fridge, do the same for any meal.
#8
Never stop learning. And I don't mean easy stuff like watching informative YouTube videos. Try to get certifications in your field of expertise, pick up and find new tools. Get a skilled hobby and learn about it, woodworking, gardening, acrobatics, drawing, playing instruments. Hell, learn about learning and get better at learning.
End of the day, when all else fails you. What you've learnt will always be there, providing value.

Stretching and light exercise will keep your dexterity, strength, and constitution scores from suffering age penalties
#10
Minding your business.
Dont make assumptions.
Stop making excuses.
Comparison is a thief of joy.
#11
Good sleep.
Content Wombat 1 year ago
This is good advice but only if you can control your own sleeping environment. If you live in a noisy place it's very difficult to get a good night's sleep.
#12
Ask for things you want.
Seriously, you will be surprised how frequently you will get something if you just ask for it politely. I see so many people bend over backwards to try and get something, but they didn't try just asking for it directly.
This is like a cheat code which works 25% of the time and costs nothing, letting you skip an entire level each time.

I have a friend who likes to say "If you don't ask, it's an automatic no".
#13
Using unwanted veg to make soups is a recent life hack i've picked up. Just get a decent blender and they're so easy to make. They feed alot of people/multiple servings and are usually quite healthy as well.
#15
Cooking - your life will be better, and it's a great way to impress friends or a date.
Ask a follow up question or two - if you're getting a negative result in a non-personal interaction, you can sometimes find out about alternatives. In a conversation, asking people to tell you more about something they thought was worth mentioning once in a while often makes for a better conversation. Sometimes you even learn interesting things you didn't know.

Don’t drink alcohol. You save a ton of money and you never get hangovers. My son can’t drink for medical reasons. When I realized how much more time he had as a college student it was pretty eye opening.
Downside: you miss out on the social aspects of sharing drinks, and being the only sober person can suck.
Edit: I’m not even talking about getting drunk. I only have about one drink two nights a week and I can still get a headache from that.
#17
Listening > talking.
BrownTabby 1 year ago
It’s relative. Those who talk too much should listen more, but those who don’t talk much don’t need to feel bad about trying to make themselves heard.
#18
Personal finance is probably the biggest one. Understanding credit cards, savings rates, investing, debt, etc. will save you so much time and money in the long run. What you decide to do with your money could be the difference between retiring early and having decades of freedom or working until you die.
#19
Once you realize how versatile duct tape and superglue is, many house problems become trivial.

Those $5 small bubble mirrors you stick on your side mirrors make you 80% better at parallel parking
Lauren Caswell 1 year ago
I can do this? I can buy these? Do they help me gauge the space around me better? THANK YOU PANDAS! I'm shite at parallel parking. I can do it if there's a shop window as I can see my reflection.

If BP was on top of their game, they would edit some of those cheat codes for clarity without depending on dubious comments. I'm looking at you, Adelaide Ross.
