I love being bumped from flights.

I'm really pleased with this - a regular annoyance sorted in less than 30 seconds. I went with adding an alias to the Auto Add to iTunes folder to my Downloads folder. This is the most useful hack (in terms of time, time saved, and ease) in ages. Cheers.

I added it to my Downloads folder instead - seemed to be a better place for it.

In the UK, you can ask the drycleaners to press your clothes rather than dryclean them. Basically, they're just ironing them - of course, you have to wash them first.

Most of us don't think that everyone has a story. We judge people's actions by assuming the situation is normal. If I had seen you I would have assumed you were a punk so would most people. The only way to set them straight is to speak up.

Is this for real?!?

When I relax my hair, the package comes with mini shampoo and conditioner. They're perfect for travel and they're made out of really solid plastic. I usually have tons of them and I always wish I could give them away and, to think, there are people out there making heat sealed straw containers.

Same here - I always laugh when I see travel-sized empty bottles for sale.

I bought two of those plastic thingees that push up the toothpaste. I put one on the toothpaste container when it's about 2/3d's empty (the 2d one is just a back-up). It also makes it easier to push the toothpaste up.

Get yourself a powerpod (or similar) instead!

Ha ha I don't think its a dumb app but it's clearly for dumb people. If you run out of battery this often, you'd think you'd start paying more attention. But a lot of people would prefer to go on doing something stupid (or get an app to enable their stupidity) than to change.

Why wouldn't your landlord just give you the bank account details for depositing rent payments, and you set up an automatic payment?

I like in-ear headphones and they're the only ones that don't hurt. Although now that I've got me some sugru, I might try customising my discarded $150 pair.

I can second that.

Absolutely nothing. She's just a pretty girl at a school. (No matter what he says!)

This just happened to me!!! I updated my profile 2 days ago to prep it for my job search and now everyone keeps congratulating me on the job I've had for 3 years - even people who should know.

correction - 1st para - "be it an aspect of our personality [or our] line of work"

Agree with Carl entirely and I didn't think his point was snarky.

It wasn't grammatically correct because "quicker" is an adjective not an adverb. Regardless of whether you say "learn" or "learn more", "quicker" is modifying the verb "learn".

As a lesbian, I can confirm that the pinch and release method (right-handed) has always worked for me. (But then I have added experience with bras!)
