An Unethical Life Pro Tip (or ULPT) is a tip that improves your life in a meaningful way, perhaps at the expense of others and/or with questionable legality. Share your best tips you've picked up throughout your life, and learn from others!

ULPT Rules:

Tips must be unethical, tips that are ethical will be removed.
Tips must provide some benefit to you.
Post titles must begin with "ULPT" or "ULPT Request", and should be descriptive. The title should explain the gist of the ULPT without needing a description. Post that are walls of text will be deleted at the mods discretion.
No tips about rape, murder, suicide, or any tips that violate Geneva Convention laws.
No tip lists, each individual post should be about a single tip. This includes links to articles that list tips.

For example, give them four quarters instead of one dollar.

As many people prefer not to carry around lots of loose change, they're more likely to just drop it in your tip jar.

As an added bonus, there will be less coins in the register to count at the end of the day, if that's part of your job.

ULPT: If you want/need to go to the ER just pretend you’re homeless, leave any and all identification at home, and act like you don’t know any personally identifiable information about yourself. You c (lemmy.world)

Helps if you show up in worn out clothing and act like a child upon arrival.

(Meant for people in the US, of course)

ULPT Whenever buying something online, try using the coupon code "military". Many sites have a military discount and don't require any proof of military service. (lemmy.world)

Many workplaces offer bereavement leave for the death of a close family member, often with no proof of such events occurring.

To avoid any potential mishaps, only "kill off" relatives that have already passed.
