40 Hacks That Are Unethical But Pretty Genius

Work correspondence hack:

Anything that benefits you, put it in an email, letter, etc. so it can be memorialized when possible. 

Anything that is detrimental to you, make a call or discuss the issue face to face verbally.  Don’t leave a paper trail. .

When you call in sick to work, call lying down as it makes you sound more congested.

If you mail a letter without a stamp with the return address as the actual address you want it go, they will “return” it to the return address. 😉.

If you want to lie, make a part of the lie something shameful. Everybody will believe you.

If you rob a bank you have almost guaranteed shelter regardless of the outcome.

Using billions in tax payer federally funded research to create medications and then turn around and charge those same tax payers a 1000 fold increase in costs WHILE also getting tax cuts myself from the very middle man politicians who give me the public funds. Oh but wait - one important caveat, why do these politicians help me out so much? because of course I get ultra rich, but they want their cut, their political campaign donation of course, from the very pool of profits I made off their constituents tax payer money!, Bwahahahahhaa - "EVIL LAUGH".

If you’re planning on calling out sick, schedule an email about it at a weird time early in the morning. People don’t doubt it when they think you were up at 4:37 am vomiting.

Then if you need to physically call, you can do that later and have written documentation that you were “up all night vomiting” or whatever.

Pretty unethical but also pretty harmless: if you’re ever out and about and forgot your sunglasses, go to any grocery store customer service counter and say “Did anyone turn in some black (or whatever) sunglasses?” They will proceed to dump a literal pile of lost sunglasses in front of you. Look decisive so as to not draw suspicion.

On a trip to Las Vegas, I decided to visit their adult pool area at the Delano. Upon paid entry, they provided me a bright neon wristband. I also happened to be attending a Red Hot Chili Peppers show the same night and still had my pool wristband on when I entered the venue.

While trying to navigate to my seating area, I asked the usher for directions to get to my seat.
Well, they didn't look too closely at the ticket location on my phone and only noticed my wristband. The next thing I knew, I was being directed into the VIP access area right up front.

Apparently, the VIP wristband was the same color, so I was able to enjoy the show as a VIP.

Wear black carpenter pants, black polo, multi tool, flash light and a clipboard. Walk with purpose. Get you backstage 90% of the time.

Just before covid my son worked at a multi national that had posh reception areas with coffee machines, large tv’s running the companies products and advances all day and always smart receptionists.

One day a van pulls up with three blokes in it, all in hi viz and clean smart workwear, they show their work order to the receptionist and get on with removing 4 x 70” tv screens and a projector all for upgrades and replacements.

To this day, neither the blokes, van or tv’s have been seen again.

Just walk out like you own it comes to mind.

The receptionists were not sacked but from then on every one who came to that facility had to be checked properly.

Wear a generic shirt, jeans, and boots. Put on a safety vest. Carry a 6ft ladder. You just got access to damn near anywhere. Just say you're "Auditing the camera system" and you basically have free run of most places.

Source - I'm an electrician, and never get questioned unless I'm going into a bank vault.

If you shop around at garage sales or good will, some brands offer lifetime warranties.

If you run for Congress, you get government briefings, some of them confidential, then you can trade stocks on the info.

Educate childs using dog training techniques.

If you get in a one-car accident, or fall asleep whilst driving, etc., tell the responding police that you "swerved to avoid an animal.".

Pay for one movie ticket, stay in cinema all day. Works almost always everywhere.

Have a large, “professional” looking camera. Get a bright vest that says “press” on it. Make an ID. Go to town. Almost free access anywhere.

Re-gifting presents as 'timeless heirlooms'.

You can replace every 'e' in a word document with 'е', the Cyrillic equivalent. Looks identical to us but computers read it as a separate character. It's such a common letter that when replaced, it scrambles the text and lets you get through plagiarism/AI detectors. 

For fun, copy/paste this modified word into Google and see what results you get: расе.
