Life tips

[Mid-Boss]

So I was putting my liscence plate sticker on my liscence plate the other day when my father handed me a box knife. I was very confused and there was an aukward silence. He then said "Now that the sticker is on there you put slices into it."

.....

More silence.

He then explained that people steal these stickers for their own cars so they don't have to buy them. By putting criss crossing slices into mine (which turn out not to be visible so the sticker is still valid) will make mine come off in useless little bits if someone tries to steal it. It will either keep it from getting stolen or, at the very least, make it useless to anyone who does steal it.

That's a life tip from my pops. Here's one from me.

If you are in a job interview, and the interviewer says "Thank you for your honesty" then you just said something that blew any chance of getting that job. "Thank you for your honesty" translates to "Thank you for letting me know not to hire you."

Also, don't mix cleaning products. You could get yourself killed if you mix the wrong ones.

Don't build your own computer. Because it might not boot up at all, and you won't know what of that 700 euro bulk of equipment you just bought is actually causing the problem, and there's pretty much fuck all you can do about it.

You know, not like anything like that happened to me yesterday or anything.

Edit: Stop quoting me. I've been reading up on building it for dozens of hours. I checked, double checked, triple checked, and fucking quadruple checked all my parts so that they were compatible. I watched videos on how to build it dozens of times. I didn't do anything wrong. Some part isn't working. But because it won't even start, I don't know what part. I'm obviously not saying no one should build a pc, I was just saying why it's frustrating when something goes wrong. I'm tired and pissed off. I'm not reading any more messages. Go away.

Odd, back in the day, my dad used to scrape off the older stickers, since most of the cops just checked for color

Don't use Visine. It can permanently damage your eyes.

Dont ever let "the one" get away, even if your letting her go out of unselfishness

Experience is worth WAY more then education.
But you won't get anywhere easily without one.

Always carry business cards. You never know when you'll meet someone important.

When wearing a tie with no tie clip, tuck the thin hanging end into your shirt to largely avoid having it flapping about all day.

If you lack networking opportunities, find a publicly traded company that hosts shareholders' dinners near where you live and buy a few shares. Even with one share, you're entitled to show up. Bring a big pile of business cards.

If you get into your car in a shifty-looking place and find a flyer attached to your windscreen wiper, do not get out of your car, leaving the key in ignition, to remove it, simply drive off and remove it later.

It's a way car-jackers in the UK operate apparently.

Don't let yourself get too jaded. It doesn't turn out too well in the end.

Never underestimate human stupidity.

Just because you are a hard worker and don't get drunk every night and don't do drugs does not mean you will get to keep your job because some jealous **** who is best friends with your boss and does do those things will find a way to get you fired.

(1)If you are in a job interview, and the interviewer says "Thank you for your honesty" then you just said something that blew any chance of getting that job. "Thank you for your honesty" translates to "Thank you for letting me know not to hire you."

(1) Don't ever, ever, be honest in a job interview. They don't want you to be honest, they want you to be able to change your answer to what they tell you to change it to. Wal-mart used to make its potential employees take a 75-question strongly agree-strongly disagree test with questions such as: "It is OK to steal a small sum of goods from the company in order to feed my starving children." Guess what the right answer is? The real wisdom is to get your ass out of the blue-collar world as quickly as you can.

(2) Yes, it's called mustard gas. Best to just use that Fabulosa! stuff that you used to only be able to find on the Mexican goods isle at your supermarket. The active ingredient is Glutaraldehyde, which is sometimes used to sterilize surgical instruments because, with a long enough exposure time, it kills 100% of known germs including spores. Plus, it doesn't smell like a flower shop threw up.

I think you're letting yourself get too jaded.

In life you will generally regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did. This advice does not apply to knocking down hornets' nests.

The life tip makes sense but I never quite understood the logic of stealing registration tags off a car - if you DO get pulled over your plates WILL get run and even if you DON'T get pulled over and they run your plates you're now GOING to get pulled over for a crime.

I guess this is why they say most criminals aren't geniuses. I guess it might make some sense if you're already trafficking drugs in the car and don't care about another crime (falsifying registration) added to it.

I think my most important life tip is that we create our own heaven and we create our own Hell. I do believe we manifest what we think and that if we're constantly in a state of fear and hatred, that is what our life will manifest. And possibly even our death. If we're in a state of love and trying to learn compassion and understanding for our fellow man, we should attract like to us.

Even for people that are martyrs for their message, from Jesus to John Lennon, it can at least be said that they lived and died in peace and love as opposed to living an existence of fear and hate.

I suppose that wasn't the kind of life lesson you wanted, though.

Here's one - another job interview one - don't let the interviewer do all the talking. I used to interview people with a council of other managers and I can say that the more assertive/confidant people were the ones who got hired. Don't be arrogant, but be prepared to make the interviewer do about 50% of the talking - have questions you want to ask about the job, the company, etc., ready when you go.

If you spend the entire interview talking and the interviewer says very little that is usually also not a good sign. Get people to talk to you and they will like you more.

From my life:

Don't shave your pubic region unless your okay with looking and feeling like you have a sexual illness for a week and a half.

Always be yourself unless pretending to be someone else gets you something.

Wearing blue eyeshadow and being a boy only works if your a transvestite

Mustard+Bacon+Peanut Butter= Awesome

Don't snort sherbet.

You're doing something wrong, obviously.

Make sure that your one is THE one. Many ones will come and go, each with varying levels...oneness. THE ONE is the one to hold on to of course once you've found the one it's very likely she'll know you're her one (or he's her one)

---

During a job interview/ application, make sure to ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS pick answers and responses that are against theft. Even the, 'is it alright to take office supplies home with me' ALWAYS SAY NO. Employers will instantly kick you to the curb if you're at all lenient towards theft.
