Post random tips & tricks that you've learned and use. Try to avoid posting the obvious ones. These are the ones I've discovered.

In excel, you can enable an option where the computer reads the cell you just typed after pressing enter after it. Very helpful if you're entering in a ton of numbers and don't want to take your eyes off of what your looking at.

When at the bottom of a slope and need to get somewhere, instead of skating or walking, have only one ski on and push with your other foot as if you were on a scooter

At Subway, when ordering a sandwich, if you get it toasted, try having some of the veggies (green peppers, onions, jalapeno) and sauce (chipotle, bbq) on it before they toast it.

If your subway makes pizzas, have then take off all of the top cheese, put the toppings on and then put the same top cheese back on. Also, you can have them make a flame bbq chicken pizza by asking to put bbq sauce and chicken strips on it.

At Chipotle, for a burrito, ask them to mix it up before they roll it

If you assigned questions out of your text book, search the chapter name and "solution" or a key word of the problem (a name thats used or specific number) on Google. There's a good chance a solution manual is floating around somewhere. (Business majors especially)

For writing long papers, change the period size. It'll add a surprising length to your paper

Depending on your company, you can insure your technology (cell phone, laptop) under your homeowners insurance for very cheap. I lost an iPhone and it cost me $50 to replace it.
 
When at Moes ask them to grill your burrito. It really holds everything together nicely and is so tasty.

When you are leaving voicemails and fuck up in the middle of the message you can usually hit the # key and it will give you options to send message, re-record... Make sure you hit # again after the new message to send it. (saves my ass at work)
 
you can shave around your adams apple with ease by swallowing and not releasing. it keeps your adams apple hidden so you won't cut yourself.

 
If you're in a line of cars on the interstate and you pass a cop, down shift instead of hitting your brakes. The other cars will pass you and the hypo will go for them. Don't slow down more then five miles an hour and don't touch the brakes.

there was a multi page thread on this a while back titled "life hacks"
 
I look forward to trying this one out :)

I'm sure most people already know this but just incase... if you get information from Wikipedia for a piece of coursework simply use the references that the author of the Wiki page used. (you can click on the citation number for whatever info you need to reference and you'll be brought to the exact reference at the bottom of the page).

Hold your breathe to stop yourself from getting an erection.

When you're looking to get lucky on a night out, dab aftershave behind your ears. Bitches get dat waft.

 
The boner ones will help and the adams apple one, I can't hold it! it sucks

also,

if you lose a phone charger, just go to the nearest hotel and tell the front desk you just stayed there and you left your phone charger. they will bring out a box full of em and pick the "right" one out :)
 
totally legit, i found out about this like a month ago and it has saved me many awkward moments attempting to discretely adjust my junk during class.
