Morally Questionable Life Hacks By Redditors!

Life hacks are usually simple tricks and tips to help save you time and energy, but it turns out, there are some morally questionable ones as well. A Reddit post has people sharing those by asking, “What’s the most evil life hack you know?” It seems people know a lot of these and they’re willing to share them, as nearly 3-thousand have come in so far and these are some of the best … or worst.

  • “I use my ex's and bosses phone numbers at Kroger's fuel pumps to steal their discounts.”
  • “Tell the truth 99% of the time. Then when you have that credibility, you can lie and people will believe you.”
  • “Never give away your full hand when you start a new job. Hide some of your skills and talents until you need them to get ahead. It's always easier to ‘improve’ when you're starting at 50% capacity.”
  • “Mention ‘credit card chargeback’ to get a refund when a company won't budge; they'll usually cave to avoid the hassle.”
  • “Work correspondence hack: Anything that benefits you, put it in an email, letter, etc. so it can be memorialized when possible. Anything that is detrimental to you, make a call or discuss the issue face to face verbally. Don’t leave a paper trail.”
  • “In many elevators you can hold down the ‘close door’ button while choosing the floor to get a non-stop ride. Meant to be used by rescue service/firemen”
  • “If you don’t want someone to sit in front of you at the Cinema, pour some of your coke on the seat.”
  • “Walk into a Chipotle, Panera, or any restaurant that puts online orders on a shelf. Walk up to the shelf with confidence and take one of the bags and walk out. Free meal”
  • “When you enter a raffle drawing, fold or crinkle your ticket/slip of paper a little bit. It makes it slightly more likely to be drawn. It's worked for me a few times and I feel a little guilty every time.”
  • “Walmart has a 90 day return policy for pretty much everything they sell. AC broken/heat wave? Rent a couple window units from walmart. Want a 72" oled TV for a super bowl party? Rent it from walmart…”
