I worked for the court system in NC for several years. People freaked out when they got a jury summons and gave every excuse for a dismissal. Truth is, if they just plain failed to show, no action was ever taken. Ever.

I used to process the predatory mortgage loans that crashed the economy in 2008. Saw thousands of loan documents first-hand.

That light beer people buy is a just regular beer with a lot more water in it, so in essences when you pay for light beer you are buying water with a tad of beer in it,

Public schools are really child warehouses, keeping all the kids dumbed down to make obedient factory workers. Studies show that if one allows self-directed learning, where children can move at their own pace, students fly past the grade levels with ease, even doing college courses when very young. All this holding kids back to the same level and speed is ridiculous, and only to fill the coffers of the educational system.

Housecleaners in a hurry sometimes sweep kitchen floor, make sinks look shiny, and pour Pine Sol or the like in the drains and toilets. I did it a few times, never failed, client would come home, take a whiff, look at the sink, and thank you for doing such a great job!

When your doctor orders labs or an MRI or something like that, ask if you can choose the provider. Sometimes, they'll have a relationship with the place, but that doesn't mean it's the most cost effective place for you. Shop around. You can save a lot of money, especially prescriptions. Some insurance carriers may help you in your search.

Not really sure if anyone needs to know this but a significant number of female bodybuilders make ends meet by wrestling 'schmoes': guys who get off being dominated by muscular women.

My industry -- corporate legal defense -- is incredibly boring and very much by the book when it comes to shortcuts, skimping, and dirty little secrets. At least it's been that way at the three "big law" firms I've worked.

I've worked in group homes for challenging behaviors, reported abuse (under mandatory reporting legislation) only to sacked. 🙂
