When i was in college a guy actually bought a calculator ($30) from the bookstore and just pressed the buttons through the plastic packaging and returned it at the end of the semester.
My college didn’t put any dates on our Student IDs. No graduation year, no expiration date, nothing. As a result, I kept using it to get student discounts for YEARS after I graduated, mostly the 15% off J. Crew discount.
There’s a Jack in the Box right near me. When you buy something, you get a link to a survey for three free tacos. When you get the tacos, they give you a new receipt with a new survey code.
Infinite Tacos.
Early on in Minecraft, if you dug a hole straight down, go into the corner, and used 3rd person to look in just the right direction, you could see through the block texture. the result was you could see things like caves and lava pits really easily, which was key to finding good ore back then.
We called it “Prospecting”. It was eventually patched out.
Back in college I had a thirty day trial for some software. This was back in the early 2000s when that stuff wasn’t quite as sophisticated. I found that if I kept changing my computer calendar back before opening the program, it would think I was still within the initial month. I did this for years.
Papa John’s had an online coupon which could only be used once but by changing the URL you could print new coupons. Would take me 20 seconds to find an unused code and free pizza time. After about 10 free pizzas the manager called to ask how I was getting so many codes so I quit.
Back in the 90s I figured out if you dialled 14711471 on a pay phone it gave you an open line without needing any money.
Free phone calls for me 😀
Which was useful because I lived miles away from my friends and liked to chat to them for hours on the phone.
I downloaded a free trial of WinRAR. I found that if the trial runs out, you can still use the software. I’ve been using WinRAR for free for years! Life has never been better.
Back in a computer class during grade school we had to use this test program for the class. We would learn how to use word, excel, etc then take the test. Well I figured out that during the test if you hit CTRL-A, it would highlight everything on the page, except for the correct multiple choice answer. Got an easy A in the class.
Calling the FCC on Comcast because Comcast is a bag of d***s. Every time my bill gets lower, and I’ve even been flagged as a problem customer, but I keep calling with legitimate complaints (internet speed slower than I pay for; unnecessary fees attached to my bill; paying for an extra box when I only have 1).
My bill went down from $150/month to $60/month. Blazing fast internet and all of the premium channels. My goal is to have them paying me for their service by 2017 if given the chance.
The soda machine near the locker room. For some reason, every now and then, when you bought a Hawaiian Punch, the flood gates would open and all of the remaining HP’s would flood out.
Whenever I had some change I’d give it a shot. We had different theories about what made it work, but I think it was just random.
During the last year of University a couple of my friends and I discovered that one of the buildings often did like a fancy buffet table if it was hosting a lecture for visitors. It actually was quite a common occurrence and we realised that the people looking after the food didn’t care if you were part of the visitors or not so we would just go along and take a bunch of free food.
Great for poor and starving students!
