Working in IT.

Tell the truth.

We will get lied to straight to our face and when proven they are lying they double down and get annoyed.

We don't care that you spilt coffee on your keyboard, we just need to know it happened so we can get you a new one.

The only one i can think of is people not saving their old toothbrushes. A small brush comes in real handy for a lot of situations

I wouldn't consider it a "hack", but I'm always baffled by the number of people who don't use any kind of content blocker on the web, then complain about full-page ads, pop-ups, and autoplay videos. It's like going to a cheap motel with a lady of the night without bringing condoms.

More like going to a cheap motel and not expecting bedbugs.

So I play guitar. I had a problem where I would sometimes drop my pick. Then, one day, I had an idea. I took some copper wire and attached it to a pick through a small hole I burned into it with a needle. I wrapped the wire around my finger. Now I physically cannot drop my pick.
