Reply to LPT: Admitting when you are wrong, directly and succinctly, is not only being a great teammate, but also a great way to determine friend from foe in the workplace. by AdministrativeAct902
I make tons of mistakes at my jobs. Most are very small abd can be fixed easily. Ive never gotten anywhere lying about it or blaming someone else. I always just say I screwed up and how can I prevent this in the future.
You can't learn if you dont make mistakes.

Reply to LPT: If you work an office job, save your time off for non-holiday seasons by supermagicpants
This LPT is all dependent on the job. At my old job, no one could take any PTO during the blackout dates from mid november to early January. My current job, 80% of my office is out of vacation, it's only a few of us here and it's really slow. I don't mind this at all compared to my last job which was retail.
These slow days do feel like a holiday for me. I get paid to just keep the office open and answer the phones, i'm cool with that.

Reply to LPT: Don't spy on your SO to try to catch them cheating. If you can't trust them, just break up. by 5YOChemist
So many people are in bad relationships and don't realize just how bad it is until they look at it from a 3rd perspective. I wish i knew these things years ago, but just gotta learn the hard way with relationships and how easily humans can lie and deceive others.

Reply to LPT: brush your teeth early if you’re trying to cut back on late night eating by sudonathan
This has worked great for me. I also got a waterpik and it gets out so much stuff my electric toothbrush didn't. I don't want to ruin the work I did so I just dont eat.

Reply to LPT: If you have items that are precious, tell your adult children the story of those things far before death. Better yet, write it down and include it with the item. by AcroAmo
If it's anything like my mom, it's because she is a hoarder of sentimental items. We tell her to throw them away multiple times, but they mean so much to her, she keeps them. I'm not going to deny her happiness and she brought me into this world. That being said, we wont be keeping 90% of the stuff she kept, cause it just doesn't have that same meaning to us.

Reply to LPT - If theres a sudden roadblock on a highway or a traffic jam and you have to stop, always keep a lot of distance in front of you so you dont get pancaked if someone behind you doesn't notice the block. by zapdado2002
I started doing this more and more the last couple years. Accidents in my area have more than doubled, and most of them are due to distracted driving. Heck, if people didn't lie so much, i'd venture to say 98% of them are due to distracted driving.
Also my state is a no fault state and if your insurance company deems you even slightly responsible, you gotta pay or your premiums go up. So it's best to just keep that extra 5-8 feet in front of you for cushion.

Reply to LPT: Everyone is weird. Embrace your weirdness that brings you joy. Those that judge you for being weird have their own weird thing going on. by [deleted]
I've always been a weirdo and i embrace it all the time. I'm more of a nerd and have knowledge on way too many things, so that makes me weird. I consider it a good weird.
