I usually very politely them that my current salary does not impact me to the job required by them. We can talk about the job at hand and determine a fair salary if everyone is still interested. Most of them are pretty receptive, but to the ones that insist on continuing to ask - I politely tell them that they're not…

There are lies, damned lies, and statistics, of course. When asked for my current salary, if I'm so inclined, I usually quote them the number my company provides me as "total value of my compensation package", which includes benefits, bonuses, and the like. It's worked rather well, as each job change has netted me…

I've had to have a lot of dental work lately (wisdom teeth suck!) and one thing that has helped me a lot, not necessarily to avoid being ripped off, but just in general, is to always ask flat-out how much it's going to cost me before they get started, or before I even schedule a procedure.

The worst is when you're with someone who is telling you how to tip. Its up to me what I want to tip. Infact, I had a server who was clearly intoxicated, did a really shitty job, and literally tried to poor water on me rather then in my cup when he brought the pitcher out towards the end of the meal. Needless to say,…

As an IT guy, my former boss had a favorite that I like to use now if I get involved in hiring a new co-worker: What was the biggest screwup/outage you ever caused? We're all capable of messing up on the job, and if you've worked in IT long enough, you've got a good story of something major going down, and hopefully…

Or you can exercise a bit of self-control. Unlike the other animals, we have the ability to not give in to our baser instincts. Best thing you can do? Make a shopping list.

The Ram Mount X-Grip brings with it a long list of critical and consumer acclaim, along with a twist lock suction cup and a clean, understated look. Our Editorial Director and former Gizmodo EIC Joel Johnson wrote about it here .

Doh hoh hoh.

That's not a scam, that's a entry-level job.

The point of life is bowel movements, I thought everyone knew.

My wife and I will sometimes yell "I LOVE YOU AND I CHOOSE TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH YOU". That has always defused our arguments.

I am kind of surprised, especially at higher levels, any company would not foot the bill for the interview. Especially if they are trying to woo you into working for them, they should be paying the full bill. It might be only air travel with same day arrival and departure and transit, but that is their responsibility.

the answer we need really is "how do I convince her to accept moissanite instead of diamond?"

I've navigated this by having a mutual arrangement in the relationship that whoever suggests the event/activity/night out/etc. is thereby volunteering to pay for both of us to do it. It's clear-cut that way, and you are free to suggest things when it fits your budget. Also makes it easier to get the other person to go…

Go to a less sucky bank. Credit unions typically will let you have a savings account even if your credit rating is in the single digits. A lot of bigger banks don't want to bother with the lower people that will not keep tens of thousands of dollars idling away in their accounts.

Self control and basic decency are a bitch, huh?
