“62 Ingenious Loopholes: Unlocking Secrets That Will Leave You Scratching Your Head!”
I eventually got a letter from Blockbuster banning me from trading, but it had the wrong date (post dated for the next year) and I kept trading.
I don’t feel bad about it.
Lawyer here – Adobe has a loophole where, if someone uses their redaction program, you can open the pdf on an older computer that is slower, zoom in and out real fast and the redaction disappear.
I had a case where the defendant was a con man but good at what he did…so our securities violation case was really a toss-up – had to do with joint venture interest… anyway
Guy has to produce text messages – and some of which had redaction – I did my trick, found out the guy was dealing d***s as well – turned the f****r over for d**g trafficking (because he was selling Rx pills across state lines) and well, we lost the civil case, but f****d him over anyway.
My first semester at college I lived in a three story dorm, with roughly 50 rooms per floor. About halfway through the semester the local dominoes decided to offer a promotion where if you signed up for a new account with a unique address you got your first pizza for free.
My roommate and I exploited the hell out of this promotion by registering for a new dominoes account twice a day using a new mailinator email address and a new room number. By the end of the promotion a couple of months later we had registered rooms up to the 14th floor of the 3 floor dorm we lived in, were absolutely sick of pizza, and were about 15 lbs heavier.
All in, we spent about ~$360 to tip the driver ($3/delivery) for somewhere between 100 and 120 free pizzas over a 2 month period.
At my city’s library they have this summer reading program. In addition to reading books, you can earn points for doing stuff on the library’s website, like writing reviews for DVDs and correcting errors in the book-pages-to-text database.
I found that you can get 100 points (a relatively large amount) for creating a public list online of your favorite movies. You could do this multiple times, but it took about 30 seconds to wait for the page to refresh. I found that I could just spam the “Create List” button without waiting for the page to reload, and every click got me 100 points.
I showed my brother how to do it, and we were on top of the leaderboard overnight. I started cashing in my points for free library drawstring bags and the like, but soon they caught on to me. My brother and I got permanently banned from the reading program, but it was fun while it lasted.
In the early 2000s, I’d go to the movies with a group of friends and buy two tickets. One of us would go out with both ticket stubs and bring a friend who was waiting outside. Then someone else would go out with both stubs again and bring another friend. We did this until all of us got in. Not sure if this can still work now.
I’ve never tried this but my friend claims he’s done it a few times. Get a gray wig and buy the senior citizen reduced rate ticket. The people who check the tickets are getting paid minimum wage and don’t give a f**k if your face doesn’t have enough wrinkles to be 65.
EMT here. In our charting system, there is an entire menu of choices for a patient’s prescription medicines. I was always taught how to fill out this menu item by item (which, for older folks, can be incredibly tedious). One day, scrolling through the huge list of meds looking for one or another, I found the option: “List Given To ED Staff”. One click, and I don’t have to spend 10 minutes typing in medications. Sounds like a small thing, but boy does it make a difference.
Our favorite German restaurant/bar offers a *Schnapps Nummer* free birthday drink to anyone celebrating a birthday with 2 equal numbers in the age (i.e. 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, etc.)
A group of college friends would go and take turns pretending to be 22 to get a free drink. Amazing how one of us was *always* turning 22!
Gatorade had an under-the-cap contest one summer (like 20 years ago). And they were still being sold in glass bottles. Well, the glass bottles of lemon ice – you could just flip the bottle over and read the cap without opening it. I must have looked at 500 bottles that Summer and won a bunch of c**p. A CD wallet and a pack of basketball cards were about the best things I won.
When I lived in my first apartment in college we only had 2 parking spaces but 3 of us had cars. I got my car 4 months after we signed the lease so I was the one with no parking pass. My complex was notorious for towing people without passes immediately. I had a geo prism (it’s an incredibly small car) and I eventually realized somehow that if I parked next to the dumpster the tow truck wouldn’t be able to tow me because it couldn’t fit back there, so that’s where I parked everyday for the rest of my lease and never had to pay for parking.
I go to a lot of baseball games, but sometimes the lines are insane, especially for a giveaway.
I found out that if you enter the stadium from the gift shop the line is probably never more than 50 people deep, and you still get whatever the giveaway is.
