LPT Carry around paint swatches to find matching clothing Everyone knows how hard it is to color match exactly when you don’t have the item you’re trying to match. But who wants to lug around say, 2 dresses a top and a pair of shoes you’re trying to match clothes to? Wait until you have a few pieces and go to a home improvement store, then find paint swatches which match. Make sure you have a pen so yo…

LPT Dog/s freaking out over fireworks while at home?Stream some ocean waves or other ambient noises. It’ll help mask the sounds and keep them stay calm. It’s not fool proof, but if you don’t want to give your pup CBD (or do both) when 4th of July is popping off, I’ve found that playing ocean waves for my pup helps keep her from running under the bed. The sounds are flat enough to not cause too much bass vibrations. I live in a major City on a main street thats loud and it works well enough that …

LPT Stop declaring publicly someone is your best friend, specially in front of other friends who aren’t. It’s an unnecessary comparison. Some friends of yours might even feel diminished why you awarded that “title” to someone. And just because you awarded that “title” to someone , that “best friend” person might not feel the same and can be left in an awkward position. submitted by /u/vaporwaverhere

LPT If you get a craving for any type of drink, try water first. You might be just thirsty. This might end up decreasing your intake of sugar, caffeine, alcohol, or whatever drink you usually get. Edit: By drink I meant any type of beverage. Not specifically an alcoholic one. submitted by /u/Isaac_Cooper

LPT Stick a “Take Keys” poster on the doors that auto-lock. Don’t know if it works in the US. Where I stay, a lot of apartments have doors that lock themselves if closed. And if you are without the keys, you are locked out. Sticking a “Take Keys” poster works well (except for aesthetics). Silly but useful. submitted by /u/FreudReus

LPT Place a small mat over the parts of the carpet you use most. If you ever see an old worn carpet you might notice that it is really only one one or two small areas that render the carpet fit for the bin – while the rest of the carpet is fine (perhaps just needs a clean). My carpet is about 10 years old and looks almost new in 95% of the area. However, the doorway into the living room and the doorway into t…

LPT If you need a neutral background for a passport photo, use your shower liner I have fun walls and needed a neutral background, so I just flipped my shower curtain over the rails and used the shower liner! Hardly revolutionary, and probably only works in some circumstances (in my case, I was one of the few USA online renewals), but I thought I would share it anyway! submitted by /u/hedgiefrau

LPT Set A Timer On Your Phone To Around 2-3 Hours When You Go To Bed To Escape From A Bad Dream.

Please note that this won’t always work but you can increase your chances of this working if you set to…

LPT Don’t let brass and aluminum hose fittings remain connected for too long. Galvanic corrosion will weld them together permanently. It’s best practice to use hose fittings of the same metal, but if you do mate brass and aluminum, make sure to disconnect them after use. submitted by /u/MelkorHimself

LPT When you are showing someone a picture on your phone, you can zoom in a little so they don’t mistakenly swipe to the next pic submitted by /u/BellaSuperfisky
