Turkish airlines dropped my laptop on the ground during “random” check. Went to the gate for my flight to London Heathrow from Istanbul airport. As usual got stopped for a “random” check where they go through carry on bags, and apply that gel on certain items. During this check they took my laptop out of my bag and then it slipped out of the security guys hand and they dropped it onto the ground, made a massive nois…

Unexpected check from bank My mother received a check from TD Bank, where she has her accounts. She was not expecting a check from them. This happened a while back and she brought it to the bank to ask. They didn’t know anything about it. She did not deposit it, as we thought it was a scam. It’s a check attached to a full sheet of paper, with no information, just her addr…

I already checked In from the app but it would not generate the boarding pass as I am missing this step. I understand there is a visa check counter to execute this last step and get the boarding pass physically pr…

LPT: Food cost too much? Check your local “dollar” stores for discounted food I work at a “dollar” store in the US (the red one) and if a food product is within 14 days of its expiration we are supposed to put a sticker on it that says “50% off food/candy/beverage” just to get it off the shelf. Even if it doesn’t have the sticker, if you show us the date on the food product is within 14 days we will still discount it for …

LPT: Before plugging something into an extension cord or power strip, check the wattage rating on both devices, and don’t draw more than the cord/strip can handle Many extension cords do NOT have a fuse or circuit breaker, but are only made to handle about 6 to 12 amps. The circuit breaker / fuse in your house only protects the wires inside the walls. It doesn’t “know” if you’re over-currenting your extension cord or power strip. The maximum wattage or amperage should be on the tag of the extension cord …

LPT: Check that the lid fits BEFORE filling a container Many people accumulate a variety of food storage containers that are almost, but not quite, identical size and shape. In addition, many containers have bodies and lids made from different types of plastic that deplasticize and shrink at different rates. Always check that your lid and container actually fit each other BEFORE filling the contain…

How do i check if an old film cam is still in good condition? I found an old almost unused film camera back home and i want to sell it. It still turns on and it’s pretty much in good physical condition. It’s almost new with the box and all. I don’t have a film roll with me and I also don’t know how film cam works (as a digital cam user) but the functions work when I tried it with a new battery. my question…

Unauthorized unsigned check cleared my checking account I rarely write checks, so when I looked at online banking this evening and saw a check for almost $200 deducted from my account, I was suspicious. The check number seemed random and not like any checks I have ever had. I was able to see a picture of the check which actually appeared to be an electronically generated fill-in-the-blank form and no…

Miss the MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar? Check Out the Flexbar With the 2016 MacBook Pro models, Apple introduced the Touch Bar, a small multi-touch display available above the keyboard. The Touch Bar replaced the function row of keys and added dynamic buttons that changed for each app, but it was a polarizing feature that many Mac users disliked. Apple started phasing out the Touch Bar with the launch of…

LPT: Check if your remote control is working by using your camera phone. Most remote controls use an infrared LED to transmit information from the handset to the device they control. Although invisible to the naked eye it’s just at the cusp of what your phone camera can detect and process. If you point your phone camera at the LED and press any button on the device you will see a faint flickering blue-violet light as…

I got a check from my Fidelity 401(k) and they wont change the payee name, now what? I feel like the dumbest personal alive right now. I worked at a company, I had 401(k) through fidelity. They issued me a check (i guess i didnt rollover fast enough out of previous employer to new). I called to ask if I could get a new check with my new 401(k) provider as the payee, so I could have the gross instead of net amount. They said taxe…

LPT: Check the who is leaving reviews on ethnic restaurants Even if an ethnic restaurant has high reviews, scroll through and see if people from that ethnicity are leaving good reviews. It can generally hint to its authenticity/quality and you can be more informed before eating. I recently didn’t do this and ended up eating some super mid Indian food submitted by /u/WarmFormal9881
