'When I tried to cancel HBO, they offered me an 80% discount [to stay]': 18 Life tips that are so smart, they feel illegal

Every silly influencer has some 'hack' that they're using to clean their kitchen, tie their shoes faster, or get rich quick. Being online, we're so inundated with conflicting information all the time, that it's hard to pick out which life tips are worth listening to and which online personality is just trying to get us to buy their supplements. But there are some tips that ARE worth listening to–like the kind you hear from your dear ol' granny who's been using the same tomato-stripping techniques since her days back in the motherland.

Since not all of us have a delightful old Italian grandmother to teach us the ropes, we rely on other experienced sources to give us the life hacks we need to get through this life. So scroll onward if you're interested in reading some random top life pro tips from this week's professionals online who have nothing to gain from sharing their wisdom. Impart on a journey of sage truths even a granny can agree with, that may help you get out of a pickle someday.

After this, here's a story to read about a DIY guy who thought he had all the answers, who really should have taken the tie-down advice from the professional construction guy at the loading docks.
