LPT on a flight, don’t pay for a cabin bag, take 2 small carry on bags! Obviously this rule only applies if you have enough to put into 2 carry on bags or backpacks. I rarely go away without taking check in luggage as I usually go for a week and usually share check in luggage with someone or have my own. I have however been on a fair few 5 day or less trips and have been able to take things in backpacks. Now the ru…

LPT When your small children whine, pretend not to understand them. I used this trick with great success when my children were little, and at the stage where they would sometimes whine to get what they wanted. The key is to look vaguely concerned or confused, and say to them: “I’m sorry, I can’t understand what you’re saying when you talk that way.” and repeat as necessary. It’s amazing how quickly your child wi…

LPT Wanna kiss a girl? just ask her first. Asking “Can I kiss you?” is a quick and painless way to avoid awkward moments. If she says “No,” just say “Ok, thanks” and move on smoothly. It’s better than standing there embarrassed and unsure. She’ll likely appreciate your respectful approach too. Of course, don’t go asking every girl you talk to for a kiss. It’s important to gauge the vibe …

LPT – write out what you want to put in a card before putting pen to paper Why did no one tell me this before! I used to go straight in with “to so and so, happy birthday, from me” submitted by /u/CraftyAxle

LPT Reevaluate your perception of reality regularly A lot of people are quick to believe their assumption of things based on their current perception of it. But of course that doesn’t mean they correctly understand what’s actually happening, necessarily, which is why it’s good to keep an open mind and develop a critical eye. You could also ask other people’s opinions on the matter, since you’re j…

LPT – Is there still Southern Hospitality in some southern states? I’m going to North Carolina next month to help my son to move in. I actually came across some videos on YouTube recently. It was about the idea of Southern Hospitality, and it was intriguing. I’m an English learner and I’ve always been interested in American culture. Is North Carolina certainly Southern state? And is there still Southern Hospita…

LPT if you miss a flight and it is your fault apply for a refunds anyway, you will get back the unpaid fees and taxes. I feel asleep at the airport and missed my flight, I got back all the fees and taxes. submitted by /u/pikknz

LPT – If you buy new eggs but still got a few left back home. Turn the new carton upside down and put the ones you got left in the egg holders you just made available. Throw old carton. I feel an inexplicable satisfaction and happiness doing this little thing. I don’t know why but it saves some a little space in the fridge.😂 A debate about how to store eggs correctly probably just started by mentioning fridge. In fridge, not fridge, door in fridge. Be nice. Carton with lid recommended. submitted by /u/kollerz

LPT – Add 2 reminders for peoples Birthdays on your calendar I used to always forget birthdays of my friends. So one day I decided to check the friend list on facebook and add calendar reminders for all my friends there. Even some acquaintances. I created a reminder the day before at 3pm and another one on the day of their birthay so that I am aware that i gotta text them and I can send a thoughtful messa…

LPT – No matter where you go, there will be a person looking for someone to bully. Never back down. It has happened to several people in my life including me. If you present yourself as someone who is agreeable and wont challenge someone after rude behavior it will only escalate. It does not matter what the reason is, if someone mistreats you and you let them get away with it, they will escalate. This is not to say you should enter every situa…

LPT Better Posture LPT Want to avoid a humpback by age 40? Stretch out your shoulders and chest muscles. When those muscles tighten, they pull your shoulders forward and down. When they are looser, you can more easily and naturally pull your shoulders back and stand with better posture. The best way to start is lying on your back and doing cactus arms, putting the…

LPT Don’t buy/wear expensive stuff only to keep up appearances This might sound like common sense but hear me out — most people I had interactions with either professionally or personally, in retrospect, tended to pay a lot less attention to what you looked like and what particular clothing labels you bought. That’s not to say that you should go all ragged and smelly to an interview, but constantly coming t…

LPT – If you need to go for a walk during winter and it’s too cold outside, go to the nearest Home Depot, Lowe’s, Menards, etc. and walk around there. Especially for you northerners, often times in the winter it’s way too cold or icy to go out for walks. By going to your nearest home improvement retail building, you can walk for miles and get your exercise inside with warmth. It’s even better because these stores are usually huge, meaning that you’re not causing much distraction by going there…
