LPT: Skip pharmacy automated prompts and talk to a person. Hate your pharmacies automated “help” prompts? When the computer asks “how can I help you today?” Say “cancel prescription”, it will likely then connect you to a person. They probably won’t know what you said to the computer, so just ask your question. YMMV but it works on the prompts for one of the major us chains. submitted by /u/ilikes…

LPT: Avoid soggy pizza by ordering it “well done” Many pizza places tend to underbake their pizzas, resulting in a soggy crust. Ordering your pizza “well done” usually ensures a fully baked, crispy crust. “Well done” signals to the pizza makers to leave it in the oven a bit longer, giving the crust time to crisp up and the cheese to fully melt. Especially useful If you’re ordering from a place …

LPT Request: Can I negotiate salary after it is stated in the offer letter? I was just offered my first full-time job as an entry-level sales engineer. The cover letter states that “The starting salary will be $5400 per month.” And explains that there is a $500, $1000, or $1500 per month bonus at the end of the year, depending on how well the company grows. I want to make $85k a year, which is only possible if the start…

LPT: If you’re nervous about public speaking, volunteer to go first Going first gets it over with quickly, allowing you to relax for the rest of the event. Plus, the audience is often more focused on their own upcoming presentations than yours. Pairing your speech with visual aids can also help shift the focus and ease your nerves. For example, bringing photos or interactive items (like shots of maple syrup) can…

LPT: If something takes less than 15 minutes, do it right away I’m lazy by nature, but I’ve found that if I tackle tasks that take less than 15 minutes immediately, it helps me stay productive and keep my space cleaner. Whether it’s tidying up or knocking out small chores, doing them right away keeps things from piling up and makes a big difference in how productive I feel overall. submitted by /u/Vi…

LPT: if you have a snoring problem you may want to consider tape. Using a small strip of tape to tape your upper and lower lip together, leaving a small gap open for proper breathing, can significantly reduce snoring. This doesn’t apply to sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea seek medical advice from a professional. From anecdotal experience with several family members that snore, this trick has proven effecti…

LPT: If you’re in a rush to shower, just stick your head in. Simply putting your head in the shower stops the outside of the shower from feeling much colder than the inside, and keeps you mostly dry, allowing you to easily towel off and leave the bathroom after just a minute or two of hair and face washing. It leaves you feeling mostly clean as well. Of course, you shouldn’t do this regularly, but if you …

LPT Cheap prescriptions (US). Just went to CVS and a prescription wasn’t covered by insurance. It was going to be $200. Pharmacist said we either needed prior approval or an alternative from the doctor. Went back the next day (before an approval or alternative was given) after researching goodrx and took that in. I just mentioned the coupon and she asked how much it was for….

LPT: Sleeping inclined while sick? Use a travel pillow to stay comfortable. Sleeping at an incline helps with breathing when you’re sick, but it can be super uncomfortable. I recently discovered that using a cheap neck-wrap travel pillow helps keep my head from flopping over and makes sleeping upright way easier. Give it a try next time you’re battling a cold! submitted by /u/HIIT-Genius

LPT: To fall asleep I struggled to fall asleep for many years. Then I read a suggestion which has made all the difference for me. While lying in bed in a comfortable position, clench your fingers and toes for 10 seconds, then relax for 10. Repeat half a dozen times. Very quickly I lose the count (during the relaxed period) because my mind has switched off. Soon af…

LPT: A small tip from the restaurant world regarding tuna salad. When you are making a lot it to eat over time, add everything you like except the mayo. Store at least 1/2 that way and put the mayo in the other container which you will eat from. Add mayo to the rest when you are ready to eat it. It will stay fresher this way. submitted by /u/lespaulstrat2
