LPT: teach your grandparents to ask people trying to get their money over the phone to “like and subscribe”. Scammers will assume they’re scambaiting youtubers with voice changers and hang up. I convinced my grandma to try this and she’s had two scammers hang up on her immediately. One of them accused her of being Kitboga. submitted by /u/vectron5

LPT: If Santa is bringing your kids connected devices, ask him to set them up ahead of time to avoid Christmas-day frustration! Consoles, smartphones, tablets… You’ll have to set up and download a gazillion things before anyone can actually use the thing. An overexcited kid will never have the patience; don’t let that spoil a magical day! submitted by /u/attranslator

LPT: Ask for the check and boxes when your food arrives.

LPT: Ask for the check and boxes when your food arrives. The worst part of dining out is potentially being stuck at your table when you’re ready to leave. I always ask for the check and any boxes when my food comes out so that I can leave as soon as I’d like to. submitted by /u/call-me-GiGi

LPT Request: I want to learn how to accept help and ask for it

LPT Request: I want to learn how to accept help and ask for it Something my therapist said to me has been a huge revelation for me. Growing up I had to do things on my own, my parents paid for everything but going to the doctor go by yourself (yes even when I was 10, in my home country that works) do your own shopping they will pay. Find your own career path and just sort everything out financially I never…

Do you ask people if they speak English, or do you immediately start speaking?

( www.reddit.com )

Do you ask people if they speak English, or do you immediately start speaking? A friend and I are travelling around Europe. If we ever need to speak to someone, she immediately starts speaking in English. I’ve always assumed that was considered rude, and to at least try to ask in their native tongue if they speak english first. Her point was that “if they do they do, if not, they’ll just say it. People wanna be efficient …

LPT: If you see someone with a mobility aid – DO NOT ASK THEM WHAT HAPPENED.

( www.reddit.com )

LPT: If you see someone with a mobility aid – DO NOT ASK THEM WHAT HAPPENED. Do not say: “I hate to be so forward but what happened to you” or “you’re so young and beautiful to have a cane” or “I’ve never seen you limp” …….. Maybe what happened was super fucking traumatic and they don’t want to have to relive it every single day. Maybe they relive it everyday anyway because they’re in physical pain 100% of the time a…

LPT: Instead of asking an older friend or relative if they need anything, ask if they need any jars opened.

( www.reddit.com )

LPT: Instead of asking an older friend or relative if they need anything, ask if they need any jars opened. Maybe it’s just my grandmother, but she is reluctant to ask for assistance, or maybe she forgets what she needs help with when someone visits. I have found that if I ask her something specific like: Do you have any jars need to be opened? that she will almost always brighten up and say “Oh yes!” I have also used lightbulbs that need to be chang…

LPT: ask the local police where to eat when you’re in an unfamiliar place In foreign countries, I try to avoid touristy areas. I break out Google translate, and ask the police where they consider a good place to eat. They will often send you to these little hole-in-the-wall places that only the locals frequent. I’ve had very good results. submitted by /u/gamename
