LPT: avoid coffee drips in disposable cups When putting a plastic lid on a paper cup, place the mouth opening on the opposite side of the seam in the paper cup. This prevents coffee from accumulating in the little gaps caused by the unevenness in the seam and dripping on you when you go to take a sip. submitted by /u/shaggydoghead

LPT: bring a post it note with your last name on it if you’re going out. If it’s loud/chaotic and the bartender’s asking you what name your tab is under, just show them the note. As someone whose name is a PITA to spell out in a loud environment, it’s saved me and them a lot of annoyance. submitted by /u/BookerCatchanSTD

LPT if you’re trying to avoid buying stuff on Amazon but see a product for cheaper there, reach out to the manufacturer and see if they’ll price match. Just saved $20 by doing this! submitted by /u/goudadaysir

LPT: When scanning multiples of the same item through the self-checkout, alternate them with other items for a faster experience. Seems that a lot of checkouts won’t scan multiples of the same item in rapid succession; presumably as a means of preventing accidental double-scans of a single item. This can be avoided by separating identical items by scanning something else in between; eliminating the frustration of fruitlessly waving an item about while the scanner refuses …

LPT: if you live alone: powdered milk = infinite fresh milk hack! I recently got a bread machine, and some of the recipes called for powdered milk, so I bought a bag of it. Then I used some of it to make milk, just to see what powdered milk was like. The instructions said it will taste best if made the night before, and sure enough, the next-day milk was as good of a glass of milk as I have had since childhood…

LPT Eat buttered toast upside down, it tastes better. All these years, decades and decades in some cases, you’ve been limiting the flavor of buttered toast. It tastes better eaten upside down, the buttered bread hits your tongue and taste buds first. I’d say the same goes if you put a thin bit of jam on your toast too, but not too thick so it’s dripping everywhere. So yeah that’s my tip. Buttered t…

LPT- To everyone in their mid 20’s You are NOT pushing 30: You’re 24, 25, or 26, relax. Your 20s are for figuring things out, not for having all the answers. Stop rushing to achieve “everything” before 30. You have time. Breathe. Your timeline isn’t broken: You might think, “By 25, I was supposed to have XYZ.” Who gave you that timeline? Society? Throw it out. There’s no deadline…

LPT: If someone is rushing you into a deal, it’s probably not a good one High-pressure tactics are a red flag. A legitimate opportunity will still be there after you’ve had time to think it through. Take your time, do your research, and never let urgency force you into a bad decision. submitted by /u/AvaSkylark58

LPT: A great boss beats a “dream company” every time It’s easy to get caught up in the idea of working for a prestigious company, but a supportive, empowering boss will have a much greater impact on your growth and job satisfaction. Focus on finding a leader who champions your success and gives you the tools to thrive. submitted by /u/AmaraLynne63

LPT: Give people the most generous reason for their actions When you encounter behavior that frustrates you, pause and consider the kindest explanation. Maybe that slow driver is rushing to a family emergency, or someone’s abruptness is the result of a stressful day. This practice helps you stay calm, fosters empathy, and takes the sting out of annoyances. It can also be a helpful mental reset. submi…

LPT: take photos of yourself, friends and family at the boring places doing the boring things you do most days, not just vacations and specials occasions. I’m wracking my brains right now to try and remember what our local shop looked like when I was a kid. We used to go there multiple times a week. It was the most mundane place on earth, but it got rebuilt about ten years ago and now it’d make me feel so nostalgic to be able to look at a photo and remember what it used to look like. Same with our…

LPT – I feel like I’m setting myself up for failure for being overly sensitive Per the title, I’m F21 and work at a bank as an advisor. Lots of my older coworkers are just miserable and like to throw youngers under the bus. I try my best to have good relationships and I literally value work relationships so much as I wanna keep my reputation clean and be successful. Long story short, I’ll explain some situations just so y…

LPT: Do you have a retail store that you are absolutely terrified of the public being able to see? Don’t build it next to a public sidewalk. Don’t keep your windows open. Don’t build almost an entire wall out of see through glass. If you’re terrified of people being able to see your store, build it far away from the public eye. Put a wall between the sidewalk and your store. Don’t leave windows open. Don’t build an entire wall out of glass. submitted by /u/Ill-Organization-719

LPT: Everyone should get their ssa.gov and irs.gov accounts set up before some fraudster does for you. Title. USA only. You will need to set up an account with id.me first. SSA.gov also allows login.gov instead. As /u/jlhthistle suggested: on irs.gov immediately go and request a PIN for your tax returns. Set it up to do it automatically every year. No one can fraudulently file a return under your SSN without that PIN. Just make sure you use it fo…
