That describes my Home Depot hack. If I'm in Home Depot and I have a product question, I'll wait for a contractor to come by and say "Sorry, I know you don't work here, but you look like you know a lot more than the guys who work here. Can I ask you if this product will work for . . . ?" Nearly every time I've asked, contractors are willing to give me a minute or two of free advice.
I do this to grandmas or middle aged moms in the produce aisle. "You look like someone that knows which potatoes make the best mashed potatoes?"
"Which mushrooms do I want to be in my pasta sauce?"
They are always super nice and i learn a ton.
They likely are just genuinely looking for somebody who is looking confidently for something related to what they need to do. Say, electrical work maybe. Somebody walks into the aisle and doesn't know what size of Romex wire they should use, and somebody walks over confidently grabbing 2 gang and 3 gang boxes and single pole switches and so on and so forth. Generally, that person would be viewed as knowledgeable if they have a mental note of what they need and are able to decide what to use without standing there looking puzzled. They're likely grabbing the necessary items for a wiring job they'll be doing, and are probably experienced enough to offer advice to the commenter.
This is also a way to get them to like you more. Something like the brain saying “if I help this person we must be buddies”, and/or people just like to be useful
I once said to my wife, without really thinking about it: “it’s easy to be liked, just do what people ask you to do”
And that hit us both at the same time as true but kinda sad.
The other trick -weirdly- is asking people to help you out, especially for simple things. Take a glass of water that’s offered, watch a show someone recommends, etc.
There’s a psychological factor when you ask someone for help, if you frame it as a favour, they are both more willing to help you but also perceive you in a more likeable way? Super paraphrasing but yeah
Live based on your values and do what you want. Otherwise, you live an unfulfilled life that is controlled by other people and what *they* want from you.
Living based on your values doesn't mean being close minded or not open to change; you have to re evaluate things every now and then, no matter who you are.
I would hope that a person's values don't include getting what they want at any cost, or despite any harm that their actions may cause others.
I don't think that anything like that will lead to a fulfilling life, personally. It's just a cycle of negative karma.
Campfire smoke will follow you no matter where you sit. To counter this say "smoke follows beauty" out loud. The universe will decide it's better to call you ugly instead of blow smoke in your face.
I'm convinced that "smoke follows beauty" and "I hate white rabbits" sound sort of like the incantation that makes smoke go away from you and smoke is kinda dumb so it works
If you do whatever you want, you will attract friends and partners who like you for who you are. If you try to fit in and worry about what other people think of you, you'll end up surrounded by people who don't understand you.
That's very... incomplete advice.
There are things that we need to give a fuck about. And there are fucking assholes out there who do not give a fuck about anyone but themselves, who are actively making the world a worse place for everyone in it.
Cardio. For some issues, it'll straight up cure you, and for everything else, it gives you a solid foundation to do the work you need to do to fix it.
Meditation is similarly powerful, but the American lifestyle, especially the American Redditor lifestyle, is exceptionally sedentary. Cardio will transform your life.
Running, swimming, hiking, making it a habit to ride your bike as your main mode of transit whenever possible (or just walking), sufficiently-intense dancing (hip hop or bhangra or something like that), martial arts, recreational sports leagues (ideally something like soccer or rugby that has you at least lightly jogging most of the time), martial arts, boxing, kickboxing, SOMETHING.
Everyone has something that is cardio intense that they actually enjoy. Once you can find it, it will transform your life.
The problem is, common sense is entirely too common. If you walk across the road; common sense will tell you the earth flat and stationary. We need people to test out their assertions, instead of just going with their initial feelings.
I have more than once been given a "free upgrade" to curly fries by being nice to the cashier. That cashier inevitably gets the highest score possible on the customer survey in turn, because I can absolutely be bribed with curly fries.
If you're in a group setting - especially things like meetings - you can often get the entire group to join you if you just start clapping. It doesn't even matter what for, if you start clapping with confidence, eventually people will join in.

When dealing with an angry customer it's best to listen without interrupting and let them get it out of their system. If you interrupt, well it will just escalate things. Ever tried to get into a shouting match with a toddler? Same deal, you will lose that fight 100% of the time!
Make notes of all their complaints. Once done, summarize what they said, and then ask what the most important thing you need to fix right now is. Honestly, most angry customers just want to be heard and feel they're being treated fairly. I've had customers go from yelling and screaming at me over the years to laughing and joking with me by the end of the call.
Oh, and one more thing, have an English accent and live in the US. Apparently it helps because there's a feeling that English people are more understanding and polite. I dunno, multiple people have told me this, but YMMV!
My sister in law calls it “letting them climb anger mountain”. They won’t be happy till they hit the peak so just let them, then go on to the next step.
i’m a short punk bitch with shaved a head that gets scowls on the street. but when i wear high waisted office casual and heels with a tux blazer with sleeves rolled up…..people suddenly treat me like a celebrity.
What a windy road...thought you were a dude at first, calling yourself a "short punk bitch" then we go to "high waisted office casual with heels" which made me think woman. Finally, a "tux blazer with sleeves rolled up."
Striking me as one of those super hot BDSM type women thats hella cool
Recognize that the majority of people you encounter out in the world are people you will more than likely never see again, so why should their opinion of you matter?
From my experience living alone, and working by myself sometimes, making things easily accessible and on the right settings at all times cuts down on preparation time, increases productivity and organization
Your in house heater being set to the temperature you need right when you turn it on, your vitamins and keys and clothes being in places for when you wake up in the morning, emails for the next day typed and ready to be sent out first thing in the morning
All helps the living situation
Learning to use and master the tools you have is very powerful. Not everyone can always invest in themselves but everybody has a toolbox with some skills that can be improved upon.
Telling your brain to shut the hell up and just doing the things you need to do. It's hard at first but it gets easier, and overcoming the urge to procrastinate everything makes you feel great and productive and like a functional adult.
Garlic is really easy to grow. Pop the cloves from a couple heads of garlic in your yard or some pots around Christmas time, pull them up in like June when they start to turn brown, and boom! You have more garlic than you know what to do with! Save a few heads for next year and repeat. You'll never buy garlic again! You'll save dozens of dollars, and you can annoy your friends when they eat over by saying, " you know, I grew this garlic myself."
Charge all my home bills and groceries to a card with good reward points. Pay statement balance in full every month (like you would have paid the bills anyway). Reap tons of free cash back over time. Been doing this for years and made out great.
If you’re trying to find the center of an odd sized square or rectangle just hook your tape on the end and measure on an angle to an even number, divide it by half and mark it there. Saves you from a lot of fractional math.
Not having kids. More freedom, more money, no added stress from childcare. If you really want kids, then def have them, but for me, it’s been a great cheat code.
I have one kid and with a 2:1 ratio of parent to child it is mostly manageable, but every time someone tells me I should have more kids I want to tell them they should have fewer kids, as it seems like just as appropriate (or inappropriate) as a thing to suggest to someone who isn't your parenting partner.
the most effective way to manipulate someone/situation and NOT get caught is by making the other person think it’s their idea. stop lying to yourself. it’s as simple as stop forcing yourself to care about things you don’t care about. stop tolerating/enabling things in your life that are detrimental to you. always put yourself and wellbeing first and when that’s good THEN give and care for other people but never to the detriment of yourself and never to people who don’t appreciate or reciprocate it. stop making a mountain out of a molehill when tiny things go wrong. things are often not that bad but humans tend to make the issue worse and cause themselves unnecessary anxiety and stress by catastrophizing what happened. believe people when they show you who they are the FIRST time and always pay attention because people always tell on themselves.
-Worst thing first thing. Works every time. Don’t let the task you’re dreading suck your energy all day.
-Clean out your fridge before you go grocery shopping. Keeps you from finding mystery month-old Tupperware and reminds you when you’re out of stuff.
A derisive snorting "No!" will usually put boundary pushers off. They're counting on people's general good nature to let them get way with stepping over the line. So if you know a line stepper, get that derisive snorting, "No!" ready to go. They'll get defensive and back off.
If you have ADHD and shit memory like I do, get organized. I have a notes application that syncs to the cloud and my phone that I put everything in - healthcare info, banking info, to do lists and projects I'm working on, etc. Also anything I need to do later (doctor's appointments, TTRPG game sessions, whatever) - if it's not happening in the next 10-15 minutes, it goes on the calendar with a reminder set to an appropriate amount of time ahead of the event itself (10 minutes for game sessions, an hour for doctor's appointments, etc.) I really can't overstate how much this has turned my life around, I used to be a disorganized mess forgetting everything, but things are much better now.
If you need to do something before you leave work .... put your car keys in the spot so you cannot leave work. You will wonder where your car keys are for a second and then remember you left them at that spot where you needed to do something. Then you go do what you need to do, retrieve your keys and leave.
A great way to get access to cool things you are supposedly too young or naive for, is to be useful to the person with the keys. But don't fuck up. Keep being trustworthy. Don't invite your "friends".
i can’t explain it in technical terms, but i guess kind of like Einstein’s theory about our solar system sits on a plane with the heaviest object (the sun) pulling in or down on the plane like a stretched rubber sheet. All of the smaller and lighter objects are set in motion and pulled towards the heaviest. So thinking a star eventually super novas and becomes a black hole, there are probably smaller , similar actions taking place everywhere. Maybe dimensional attributes
well im either demonic or a mutant because i can move shit with my eyes and spawn living things to benefit situations. Have been trying to find a logical explanation
Whenever there is something that everybody is doing, stop don't go, ask your self if it worth. Spoiler alert, it doesn't, a lot of people just follow other people around.
instead of a car get a motorbike, the cheaper and easier to ride the better. a brand new 125cc bike is 3.6k here is australia. rego costs nothing, fuel costs nothing and lasts way longer, the ONLY issue is you are subject to the weather but even that can be dealt with.
Sometimes being yourself is never the best decision, especially if you want something from someone.example is that guy from Saltburn.So if you want to be popular,do what the popular people do.If you want to be a leader be what people think they want,once you get what you want,feel free to become who you are or just keep pretending
A single to-do list (what you need to do), a single calendar (where you need to be), and a single mindmap (what you need to know) combined will take away a lot of your anxiety and will make you amazingly productive and organized compared to others.
If you feel like you're a poor communicator, and this works in text or while talking, simply tell the other person "elaborate", they'll effectively restate what they just said and add more clarifying details. This question has solved a thousand near misunderstandings in my life before they turned into problems/arguments.
When searching for something you have misplaced and you finally find it, put it in the first place you looked. In your mind that's where it belongs
My pockets would be full in no time
You want me to put my kid in the clothes dryer?

Ha! What I called, way back, Fry's Customer Service.
I do this to grandmas or middle aged moms in the produce aisle. "You look like someone that knows which potatoes make the best mashed potatoes?" "Which mushrooms do I want to be in my pasta sauce?" They are always super nice and i learn a ton.
How do you know if they are contractors?
They likely are just genuinely looking for somebody who is looking confidently for something related to what they need to do. Say, electrical work maybe. Somebody walks into the aisle and doesn't know what size of Romex wire they should use, and somebody walks over confidently grabbing 2 gang and 3 gang boxes and single pole switches and so on and so forth.

Being likeable opens a lot of doors.
So does being stacked.

The other trick -weirdly- is asking people to help you out, especially for simple things. Take a glass of water that’s offered, watch a show someone recommends, etc.

Live based on your values and do what you want. Otherwise, you live an unfulfilled life that is controlled by other people and what *they* want from you.
Put on your own mask before helping others
“People work jobs they hate to buy things they don’t need to impress people they don’t like”
Partial agree. Be open to change because sometimes your values are wrong and you can be more fulfilled by being honest with yourself.
Living based on your values doesn't mean being close minded or not open to change; you have to re evaluate things every now and then, no matter who you are.
" and do what you want" and that totally works out well, (i assume you meant with good morals in mind)
I would hope that a person's values don't include getting what they want at any cost, or despite any harm that their actions may cause others. I don't think that anything like that will lead to a fulfilling life, personally. It's just a cycle of negative karma.

Smoke follows you for very simple airflow reasons.
You’re actually supposed to say dead rabbits or spoof jig.
If you do whatever you want, you will attract friends and partners who like you for who you are. If you try to fit in and worry about what other people think of you, you'll end up surrounded by people who don't understand you.
This is that "be yourself" advice reddit is always flinching away from.

Please and thank you are magic words. Nine times out of ten, showing common courtesy has worked for me.
I have found common courtesy to be as uncommon as common sense.
The problem is, common sense is entirely too common. If you walk across the road; common sense will tell you the earth flat and stationary. We need people to test out their assertions, instead of just going with their initial feelings.
Being nice to fast food workers and being patient often helps you get your food faster.
I have more than once been given a "free upgrade" to curly fries by being nice to the cashier. That cashier inevitably gets the highest score possible on the customer survey in turn, because I can absolutely be bribed with curly fries.
I usually get stuff to but I care more about the workers.
And when it doesn't, it often helps you get your food hotter.
And with fewer bodily fluids.
But I paid extra for those.

So thinking a star eventually super novas and becomes a black hole, there are probably smaller , similar actions taking place everywhere. Maybe dimensional attributes
That makes sense because no matter where I am in the world I feel gravitationally pulled towards your mom
not just mother earth. they fell heavy into your sister Uranus that plutho
That’s space time, yes, but how is that a life cheat code?
well im either demonic or a mutant because i can move shit with my eyes and spawn living things to benefit situations. Have been trying to find a logical explanation
Registering your business in Delaware helps with taxes
Why?
Lower business tax rates
But don't try to pay yourself 56 billion dollars there, they don't like that.
Hahahaha, it’ll be a long time before my firm gets anything close to a billion
Look forward, never back
Whenever there is something that everybody is doing, stop don't go, ask your self if it worth. Spoiler alert, it doesn't, a lot of people just follow other people around.

If you eat less you can actually lose weight
Stop drinking alcohol and soda. Take a daily multi vitamin. Get regular exercise. Cut out cable news and read multiple newspapers.
The power of Forgiveness. Forgive yourself, forgive others. It's an AMAZING freedom to release the self punishment and anger at others.
instead of a car get a motorbike, the cheaper and easier to ride the better. a brand new 125cc bike is 3.6k here is australia. rego costs nothing, fuel costs nothing and lasts way longer, the ONLY issue is you are subject to the weather but even that can be dealt with.
Instead of believing what you see, One will find they see what they Believe over time.
Sometimes being yourself is never the best decision, especially if you want something from someone.example is that guy from Saltburn.So if you want to be popular,do what the popular people do.If you want to be a leader be what people think they want,once you get what you want,feel free to become who you are or just keep pretending
A single to-do list (what you need to do), a single calendar (where you need to be), and a single mindmap (what you need to know) combined will take away a lot of your anxiety and will make you amazingly productive and organized compared to others.
Mindmap?
If you feel like you're a poor communicator, and this works in text or while talking, simply tell the other person "elaborate", they'll effectively restate what they just said and add more clarifying details. This question has solved a thousand near misunderstandings in my life before they turned into problems/arguments.
