“Sniffing Rubbing Alcohol Gets Rid Of Nausea”: 50 Weird Life Hacks That Work For Some Reason When you eat out at a restaurant and there is something wrong with your order, you actually don’t have to scream at the 16-year-old that gave it to you. “Excuse me, I ordered x and received y” works just as well and sometimes actually plays out in your favor, as the saying goes, you catch more flies with honey.

I had someone come in who yelled at me because her food was cold. Fair enough it shouldn't be but when I went to get it heated and came back it was discovered that she had used the hack of putting salt all over your dinner to see wether or not the kitchen have you a new one. She started complaining about how she had 'found us out' about not getting new food and I was like 'maam if your food is cold we reheat it we don't get you a new meal. Of your food is told alty you can order another' she got SO cross. I was entertained though

No reason to bring out a cannon to shoot a fly. A waitress brought me a drink that was quite watered down (not her fault). I told her about it, she calmly offered to replace it, brought me a new one, waited for me to taste it. I nodded approval, thanked her, and she left to serve other tables. I really liked her calm and consideration and told my husband, "That's very professional."

I worked in hospitality for more than 30 years... and, yes, just this. I don't know why people get so extreme, either having a tantrum or profusely apologizing. It's not even a thing to the staff. Just tell them what's wrong and they'll fix it. Done.

I was once embarrassed by a dinner companion who hated his dish. Instead of sending it back and ordering something else, he waited till the end of the meal to tell the waitress it was terrible, inedible, etc. She apologized and he said, "Why? It's not your fault." So why get pi$$y to her in the first place? After he got up, I quietly told her, "You handled that well" and left a little extra on the trip.

I've never understood why the waiter gets the blame. The kitchen puts the order out to be delivered to the table. I can guarantee you that the waiter does not remember every single order. If the kitchen tells them "table 5" they take it to table five. And if there's something actually wrong with your meal (undercooked, overcooked, cold etc.) that has absolutely NOTHING to do with your waiter.

Before you make a bad or rash decision, HALT - check four things: Are you Hungry? Eat something! Are you Angry? Find a safe and healthy way to vent! Are you Lonely? Visit, volunteer or call someone! Are you Tired? Nap or sleep! And another thing, don't trust your feelings after 9PM.

“Sniffing Rubbing Alcohol Gets Rid Of Nausea”: 50 Weird Life Hacks That Work For Some Reason Modeling behavior for your kids actually works. We've never once explicitly told our 2 or 5 year old to say "please" or "thank you" or other kind s**t, but they say it when the moment is right. My two year old is much better about "thank you" than his big brother, but the five year old regularly uses "please" when asking for the most mundane s**t. When the kindness comes naturally from them, it blows my mind every time.

“Sniffing Rubbing Alcohol Gets Rid Of Nausea”: 50 Weird Life Hacks That Work For Some Reason This is a psychological advice that I once saw on a subreddit, and I couldn't stop practicing ever since because it is so legit.
When you're walking on the street, make sure to always keep your head up and look straight-forward to the people— ergo, walk with a purpose. That way you won't be finding any trouble with people getting in your way during your walk because they'll instantly avoid you and get out of your path!

It's so useful when you're in a rush.

Edit: English is not my motherly language, so I hope I made myself clear with the advice:)

“Sniffing Rubbing Alcohol Gets Rid Of Nausea”: 50 Weird Life Hacks That Work For Some Reason One life hack I went from not knowing to using almost daily is the search bar in the Photos app on my iPhone. I used to think I could only scroll endlessly through my camera roll to find a specific photo. Then I discovered that I could search my pictures based on objects, people, or even text that appeared in them.

For example, if I’m looking for a photo where I was wearing a suit or glasses, I can just type “suit” or “glasses” in the search bar, and it instantly shows me all the relevant pictures. It even recognizes text in photos—if I remember taking a picture of a document, a sign, or anything with words on it, I just type a keyword, and it pulls up those images.

This feature has completely changed how I organize and find photos. Instead of scrolling for ages, I can just search and find what I need in seconds. It’s a game-changer for anyone with thousands of photos stored!

Ah the hand squeegee. I've used it for years and it works brilliantly. Takes 90% of the water off your body and means you just have to wipe yourself with the towel once without ending up trying to dry yourself with a wet towel. My partner laughed at me when I suggested it to her instead of using 2 towels. Until she actually tried it. She still uses 2 towels (one for her hair and one for her body) but one are much drier and I don't have to wait as long for the toilet these days.

What the trick REALLY is is to put in ripped up paper towel in the container along with dish soap and warm water, seal it, then shake it for a few seconds. That gets off old tomato sauce stains too.

Yep. I have put objects in a certain place and keep them there for a long while.. I will remember where they are at, but if I remove them and put them somewhere else thinking I will remember where I put them, I will forget. Especially at my age.

How do you fit a bowl of water and the plate you're reheating at the same time? Do I just have an abnormally small microwave or something?

“Sniffing Rubbing Alcohol Gets Rid Of Nausea”: 50 Weird Life Hacks That Work For Some Reason If you have a credit card that gives cash back points, and you make all your purchases on it (that don't have disproportionate convenience fees of course), and you pay off the entire balance before having to pay interest, you can actually get hundreds, if not thousands of dollars every year for just spending money you normally would.

Should always pay off the credit card. Even if you have 1p left, they'll charge you interest on the whole month's balance, not just the 1p. Not sure where it's available, but buying through Top Cashback is a good option in the UK.

Don't need to turn it on or wrap them in anything- just on a plate. The bread will dry out and the cookies will stay soft. .

“Sniffing Rubbing Alcohol Gets Rid Of Nausea”: 50 Weird Life Hacks That Work For Some Reason To stop feeling drowsy due to a build up of CO2 on long drives, just turn off the recirculation that's usually on by default. Cars are pretty well sealed so the CO2 builds up very quickly when using recirculation. You get less efficient AC turning it off but it's well worth it.

I've gone from almost falling asleep at the wheel on road trips to feeling just normal on arrival.

Recirculation is never on by default. Every single car I've ever owned, drove or rode in had a special button that would either light up or show a notification on the screen if it was on.
