Well, that’s false.

Reply to comment by DroolingSlothCarpet in LPT: When travelling and in charge of multiple passports (such as a parent holding them for kids), assign and attach a different coloured paper clip to the front cover of each. It makes it super easy to identify whose is whose without having to open it to the picture page. by travelingsoul83

That would depend on your sick leave balance employer's policies, your employment contract and your country's employment laws.

Not even. It's mostly people telling everyone not to do the one specific thing that someone did to annoy them today.

Reply to LPT: Label the inside of switch plates and outlet covers with their breaker number by AdmiralBofa
SLPT: If you don't know which breaker an outlet is on (you can identify a light too by using one of those socket-to-plug adapters), just wrap the handle of a fork in electrical tape, then...

It would be very difficult to enforce a “try it before you post it” rule on ILPT.

Right, I recently saw a TikTok where a photographer and a bunch of women were having a great time bagging on men who don’t like their picture being taken. It was gross.

Not all companies adopt the “Use it or lose it “ rule.

Old milk kartons works great. Before the oil crisis here in denmark, i was on keto and used a lot of fats. I simply opened op, rinsed with water and stood by the sink.. Easily filled after a few dinners, and then ready to trash.

Reply to comment by ursaminor_magic in LPT request: ways to discourage dumpster divers/trash pickers? by [deleted]
Wow that went straight over my head 💀 I thought he was saying he was a worker at a household store or something and people were raiding the store trash and he wanted it to stop because it was his responsibility to clean it up 🤦🏼♀️

Reply to LPT: Spilling your emotions to someone who goes cold won’t win them over, it will push them away even more by MO_drps_knwldg
A good tip, but not always a thing. Telling your partner how you feel is something MANY people WANT to hear to know that their love and opinion matters (or not, everyone appreciates the truth).

Also LPT: If you don't want your image used to remember you by, give your family something else. Samples of your writing or words. Photos of your favorite places or things. Or an audio recording.
The whole point of photos is to have something left of the person after they are gone. Having no photos of your loved one is a very tough thing to deal with while one is in mourning.

And then you'll get helpful tips like "If you want to get a job, just walk in to their office and drop off your resume." Or other helpful tips that haven't been valid for 20+ years. (And this is coming from someone who is getting real close to that age bracket. Just because we're old doesn't mean we can't be idiots, too.)
