Most men can put candles out with their licked fingertips - you need to man-up.

I'm late to the discussion, but I have an easier solution. Just dab your finger in vanilla and touch a hot lightbulb. This is an old real-estate agent's trick.

Use it to store used double-edge razor blades (for those who have discovered this superior art of wet-shaving and aren't still dragging 3-5 blades across their face).

Okay, but if the person doesn't know you well enough to realize that you're a saint who always means exactly what they say and never says anything out of sheer politeness - then just avoid cliche sentences in order to be clear. Admit it, it's really not bad advice. Maybe not always necessary, but it's still good…

The fact that it's cliche doesn't mean it has no weight to it, but it does remove some of the impact.

I agree, the delivery can make all the difference. So if you think you can make a strong delivery of a cliche sentence, then do so. Otherwise, a customized sentence for a particular situation could be more useful.

"Let me know if you need anything" is sort-of cliche and most people would just nod and say thank you. Maybe turn it into a couple of sentences and try to think of suggestions that would help.

Great tip! My favourite in a while.

Oh, I guess you never saw Lifehacker's post covering that.
