Cheat Code For Life: 30 Times People Found Insane Loopholes And Took Full Advantage Of Them

In high school they gave students credit for interning. I started my own corporation and interned at it for my senior year. The boss graded me very highly, as well.

When I Was younger (12-13) I had one of those stupid timers on the computer that would only let me use the computer 2 hours a day before I got kicked.

Found out that if you minimize the screen alerting you that you have ran out of time, you never run out of time. Best summer ever.

I live in the UK and train prices are a joke. They are so expensive. The best way around this is to split your journey. Say you are going from London to Birmingham; would normally cost around £40+, instead find a stop that the train you want to get stops at and do a journey of London to Milton Keynes and then Milton Keynes to Birmingham for example.

This saves you so much money, and is completely legal. You just have to make sure you stay on the same train when doing it, so double check all the timings. It annoys the rail companies as well as I believe they tried to shutdown a website which did this for you.

Complained to Chipotle corporate when the hours were wrong on the door and it was closed Sunday during my lunch hour. Got a free burrito card in the mail.

Went back later in the week. Ordered a burrito:

* double chicken
* extra beans
* extra rice
* grilled peppers
* extra cheese
* extra salsa
* DOUBLE GUAC $$$$$$
* Oh s**t this thing is huge you better double up the tortilla.

Man, you should have seen this m**********r drawing up the wrapper with his black marker. Giant C, two circles around it, forward slashes, back slashes, Guac x2 circled, some sanskrit and I'm pretty sure even a tilde.

He followed the burrito to the register like I was going to tuck it under my wing and Marshawn the f**k outta there. He shoulder-surfed the cashier while she rung up this $20 monstrosity.

Shoulda seen the look on dudeman's face when I pulled that card out and smiled and said, "here ya go". God my coworkers are still laughing about it.

My university requires that you change your password every few months or so. The new password can't be on that you've used in the past. Naturally this sucks because I have to remember yet another password.

But you "forget" your password and reset it it can be anything, and it counts towards changing your password. I've had the same password for my entire college career.

Edit: Guys I'm aware this is a security risk. You can stop telling me now. I change my important passwords (banking, health insurance, loan accounts etc.) religiously.

When my friends and I were in 6th grade we were always looking for a hustle. We would collect our parents empty soda and beer cans to return to the safeway near us for a few bucks to buy candy. One day they installed these big machines that automated the process so the employees didnt have to manually count the cans. You would put your can in the machine through a wide tube, it would roll the can around until it read the bar code, drop the can into a locked storage bin inside and you would repeat this until all of your cans were tallied. It would print a receipt that you would exchange for the cash amount of your cans at the register inside. My friends and I tied a can to the end of a stick, got the machine to read the barcode and then pulled the stick out before the mechanism would force our can-on-a-stick into its belly. We did this once a week and got about twenty bucks each time before we would get nervous and stop so we wouldnt get caught.

In the 80's Chuck E Cheeses didn't shred the tickets you get out of their games and use to buy toys, candy etc. My friends and I were biking one day behind a strip mall practicing our wheelies and jumps. We saw a worker throwing a garbage bag of tickets into the dumpster behind Chuck E Cheese. We grabbed it and then started circling back about once a week. Garbage bags and garbage bags full of tickets. We were doing so well, one of my friends parents got in on it. She would take the mini van behind there and have her kids load up. And this is why tickets are now shredded.

I think I still have a huge stockpile of frisbees and stuffed animals in my parent's attic somewhere.

Around 5 years ago I used to work as a Sales Rep at a cell phone booth. Every new smartphone that would be released, the wireless provider would usually send us a demo unit of that phone with a demo line. The demo line would have unlimited talk, text, and data but would deactivate after 2-3 months. This was so we could show customers how the phone works with all of its features.

One time we got a demo line that didn't expire after the 2-3 months. So my manager at the time told me to use it as my work line. I didn't want to carry two cell phones so I cancelled my personal line and used my work line as my personal too. Fast forward one year later, my manager is transferred to another store and we get a new manager. New manager has no idea about my work/personal line. I left the company 6 months later with my demo line and to this day I still use this demo line. Have not had a cell phone bill for over 5 years and counting.

TL;DR - Got a cell phone line that I have been using for free for over 5 years.

EDIT: Just to clarify on a couple of questions that come up a lot. I can upgrade the phone whenever I want but I have to buy new phones for cash, rather than worry about contracts. The talk and text works fine in the US but I am limited to 1 GB of data per month. The line does not seem to work internationally, but I usually use WIFI anyways.

BONUS STORY: Around 2 years my phone got stolen from my car, along with my laptop, hard drive, and tablet. I was utterly devastated, but more for losing my phone line than anything else. After moping around for a few days, I started to think of ideas of how I could possibly get the magical phone line back. I called and texted the phone line non-stop, offering money for just my SIM card back, but no response. I decided to try a different approach. I called my old store I used to work at, pretending to be a customer I asked for my old manager, but I was told there was a new manager and I got his full name. I called my carrier, remembering the protocol from my working days, pretending to be the new store manager and I gave them our authorization code (which I luckily still remembered). Told them one of our demo lines was on the fritz and needed to transfer onto a new SIM, they ask for the phone number of the demo line. I give them the number and they say it's some special line that I have to contact some special department for. They transfer me to special department, I tell special department dude about the situation and he's like he can definitely do the transfer but only through email requests. So I have to send him an email request of the transfer through our store email. SCREWED! Another dead end, so maybe the magical phone line is gone forever, looks like I have to pay for a phone line like the rest of you peasants. But then I had a magical flashback to 5-6 years ago, when I used to work at the wireless store. My then manager asked me to create a store email for our team to use, for whatever use. I couldn't remember the password of that email but I did remember I just made a regular gmail account. So I made a new gmail account for my old store and emailed the special department my phone line transfer request onto a new SIM card, under the guise of that store's new manager. The line was transferred within 2 hours and I got my magical phone line back.

When vending machines first started accepting credit cards you could swipe your card, select a drink and when the little drink pod starts moving to collect your drink hit cancel. The cancel button would stop the card transaction but not the machine so you could get free drinks.

Was a sad day when it stopped working.

There was a Papa Johns coupon for 50% off if the official PJ twitter retweeted you.

I found the code looking through their website.

I got half off pizza for a year and a half.
