Knowledge is never superfluous. Our school teachers told us about this, but for some reason their words did not inspire confidence. But the further the school is from us, the clearer the understanding: the more you know, the more confident you feel in this life. And sometimes only knowledge can help us get out of an unpleasant scrape alive and healthy. So remember! 
If your house smells fishy for absolutely no reason, nine times out of ten it means there's a wiring fire somewhere in the house. 
If you are abroad and need to call for help but don't know the emergency number, call 112. This is an international emergency number that will automatically connect you to the nearest helpline. 
If a tornado looks like it is not moving, it is actually moving towards you. 
If you think someone is following your car, make four right turns. This way you will describe a circle. If they are still behind you, that means they are actually following you. In this case, don't go home, just call the police and go to the police station. 
If someone tries to grab you, scratch their skin anywhere. If something happens, his DNA will now be under your fingernails. 
If you ever get buried in an avalanche, don't give a damn. Literally. This way you will determine where is the top and where is the bottom. Your saliva will follow gravity and you can simply dig in the opposite direction. 
If you ever wake up in the middle of the night smelling gas, DO NOT turn on the light. A spark from a switch could blow up the entire house. 
If a service dog or guide dog approaches you without its owner, follow it and do it quickly because you could potentially save someone's life. 
If you accidentally disturb a beehive or wasp nest, do not run to the water. The nest inhabitants will wait for you to surface and continue to sting you. Just run fast and as far as you can because eventually they will stop chasing you. 
The brighter and more colorful the animal, the more likely it is poisonous, and you should never eat it. 
Everyone hates red eyes in photos. But if your pupils reflect white in the image, it could be a sign that you have a serious eye problem. This could be cataracts, retinal problems, or even eye cancer. 
If you are being chased by a polar bear, take off your clothes and throw them on the ground and run. The bear will certainly sniff your clothes thoroughly before chasing you again, and in the meantime you will have time to run far enough. 
If someone is stabbed in front of you, do not remove the knife from the wound. It acts as a plug, preventing blood loss. Instead, apply as much pressure as possible to the wound with any cloth and call the police. 
Wolves will only attack you if they can scare you into running away from them. Standing in front of the pack without running away will be terrifying, but eventually they will definitely leave. 
The machine that sets the pins in a bowling alley is extremely dangerous. If you climb into the hole where the pins are displayed, for example, as a joke, there is a very high probability that you will be crushed to death. 
If you ever drink windshield cleaner or antifreeze for any reason, drink plenty of vodka so it doesn't destroy your kidneys and you have time to get to the hospital. 
If bandits steal your car along with you, they jump in and tell you to drive, crash into any car along the way. Chances are they won't be wearing seat belts. Therefore, during a collision, they will be injured or stunned. You can take this chance to jump out of the car and run. 
Lying on your back is the best way to survive a falling elevator. 
If you ever fall off the edge of a subway platform and end up on the tracks, don't try to climb back onto the platform - you'll be electrocuted. Run to the stop of the first carriage and from there call the attendant. If you don’t have time for this, lie down in the chute between the rails - the train will not hit it. 
If a deer crosses the road, it is better to hit it than to swerve and fly into a ditch. But if you see a moose on the way, it’s better to fly into the ditch. Hitting a moose is like hitting a brick wall. 
Have you ever been told that if an alligator is chasing you, you should run in a zigzag? In fact, contrary to popular belief, alligators are not stupid and can run at speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour without wasting time zigzag. So just run straight and run as hard as you can. 
You can always dial the emergency number even if your phone doesn't have network coverage because in an emergency your phone will connect to any nearby cell tower as long as it has charge. 
If you ever get shoved into the trunk, disconnect the brake light wires to attract the attention of the police. When the criminals are stopped, start banging on the trunk - this will certainly interest the police. 
If you ever need to escape from a moving car, don't jump out with both feet. Instead, place one foot on the ground and immediately take a step. This will significantly reduce your speed and increase your chances of surviving a fall.
