CPR and heimlich maneuver saves lives
learn them.
decearing-eggz:
This is so true. My dad actually saved a life because he knew the Heimlich. We were in Disneyland Paris and this man was choking on his food and me and my stepbrother were coming back from getting dinner and my stepmom kinda brought us back for more food and brought us back once it was clear which is when we were told the story. The guy was there with his 5 year old, 8 year old and his wife. We were brought away because it would’ve scared us despite us being 15 and 17. The two kids were crying their eyes out and looked just so distraught

Street smarts on buying a house...If you attend an open house and the real estate agent has turned on some music for the "ambiance" , most likely there's some constant background noise they don't want you to hear.
Ask the music to be turned off for a minute and listen.

When you're in mainland Europe, don't look the wrong way when you're crossing the road. I nearly learnt this the hard way twice, in Spain and Germany.

If there is starting to get traffic jam on the high road, get in the line where the trucks aren't driving as soon as possible. If a truck driver doesn't see the traffic jam and you are between two trucks, there is a very small chance you'll survive. If a car driver doesn't see the traffic jam, the chance to survive is greater.

If you're a person that travels to different countries a lot make sure to do some research into common scams in the place you're traveling. Obviously this isn't as relevant right now due to the pandemic, but still.

Lock your car doors as soon as you get in the vehicle.
Peterthemonster:
And always look inside before entering your car. An acquaintance told me a story of how she got into her car and drove to the gas station. In my country there are clerks(?) that do everything for you and charge you without you leaving your vehicle. She wanted to pay with a credit card and the person told them that the card was rejected but maybe going inside the store could help. The clerk called one of his colleagues and brought her into the store. Then they asked her if she new the man hiding in the back of her car. Apparently someone sneaked into it and she hadn't noticed. The guy ran away before they could do anything about it. If she hadn't stopped for gas or if the clerk hadn't had a gut feeling, something terrible would've happened to her.
