I saw this on reddit, and I wanted to share! Some of these are actually pretty nifty.
* Stop: Stop: Play. Skip advertisements in movies and go strait to the movie.
• Peel a banana from the bottom (I KNEW IT!). See this video for a visual guide.
• If your credit card magnetic stripe starts to get worn from use and being in your wallet, and doesn’t always read in the card reader, you can use the plastic bag trick. Put the card in a plastic grocery bag and then swipe it. Not sure why it works, but it does.Taking it further though, you can simply apply a piece of quality cellophane tape over the mag stripe for a “permanent” plastic bag trick.
• At the end of your shower turn the water really (or all the way) cold. This will wake you up and get blood flowing. It also closes your pores to allow for less dirt and bacteria to get in to help reduce acne problems.
• When you have forgotten someones name, simply say : “I’m sorry, but what was your name one more time.” They may act offended, but when they give you there first name you simply reply “No, I meant your last name.” (more socially acceptable to forget). Bingo. First and last names.
• Gently work an orange in your hands to loosen the peel from the fruit. This makes it easy enough to get the whole peel in one shot.
• Can’t find your car in a parking lot? hitting the lock button trying to get it to beep? Extend the distance of key-less entry by putting the key under your chin. The signal will resonate in your skull increasing the range dramatically. I swear to god this works, and I’m told it’s safe because the radiation is non-ionizing.
• Most tinfoil and saran wrap boxes have little push-in tabs on the sides. If you push them in, the roll won’t fall out when you try to rip out a sheet of it.
• Whenever you spill any liquid that will stain on your carpet (red wine, juice, etc), pour some salt on it. Work it into the carpet – just rub it in with your hands. Leave it there for a few hours (for serious stains, up to a day) and vacuum it out. Voila, stain gone.
• 4,2,3,1 — Vending machine cheat code (as in, the vertical buttons machines, like this http://www.enterprisevending.com/Images/vending.jpg) that will grant access to vending machine’s diagnostic menu. Most times the fun features are disabled, but i’ve gotten a free powerade and a couple cokes in the past.

I’m eating lunch at work and just read this. I expect you to peel my oranges for me next year then :)
this is soo good!!!! it makes me want to cry with joyy
The salt stain remover is a new one for me.
I’ve got a fairly fresh wine stain to try this out on.
Going to try out the vending machine cheat code as well.
I just got my 3 year old to eat a banana and he has to peel it himself! I’m going to have to hold off on the peel from the bottom part for now as it may cause him to loose it, no matter how good it works
thanks for sharing
Awesome tips! I knew a couple of these but the rest are simply brilliant. I’ll have to try the salt trick, why isn’t this common knowledge?
Do you have more tips like this?
