People who can fit anywhere without soap (26 photos)

These people have found a way to beat the system, and you might find their approach useful.







The guy scanned the credit card agreement offer he received, changed all the terms in his favor and sent it back, they allowed him to use the card, but ended up suing. He won because they didn't read their terms, which he changed.





I used to work in a call center providing technical support to a dial-up internet provider. The 10 hour package was $9.99 and then there were different tiers including unlimited for $50 or something like that. I ended up moving to another city, calling the call center to set up internet, and asking for a 10 hour package. The guy (who didn't know I worked there) tried to persuade me to take a larger package, but I insisted. Why? Because the company did not have a system for monitoring Internet usage. You can download as much as you want - they don't care.



At the small community center where I lived as a child, there was an air hockey table in the back room. Someone figured out that if you inserted the coin a certain way, you could get an extra 3-4 plays on the quarter until the coin finally landed in the slot. Neither of us had any extra money, so this was a lifesaver. The employees didn't care because the money we had was usually spent at the local buffet, so they still made money from us. I miss this place. They always had free fresh watermelon for children who had no money at all, so that no one felt deprived.



West Virginia has a law that eliminates taxes on the transfer of car ownership between parents and children. A friend wanted to buy a car from his uncle. So my uncle sold the car to his father, who then sold it to his other son, who sold it to his own son, my friend. Three deals. Zero taxes.



A few years ago, vacuum cleaner maker Hoover announced a promotion that would give customers a plane ticket to select destinations around the world with any purchase of one of their products over $100. People could buy a vacuum cleaner for $109 and get a plane ticket for $600. As a result, the company had to force people to work overtime to meet demand for the cheapest model. They eventually canceled the promotion, causing people who had not yet redeemed their tickets to sue them. The company earned $30 million on promotions and lost $50 million on plane tickets and legal fees.



Torvill and Dina's bolero at the 1984 Winter Olympics lasted 4 minutes 18 seconds, but Olympic rules state that performances cannot last more than 4 minutes. However, the timer does not start until the skates touch the ice, so the athletes performed lap dances for the first 20 seconds of the performance.



A Chinese man bought a first class plane ticket and used it to get free meals in the VIP lounge at Xi'an International Airport for a year. A patron purchased a fully refundable first class ticket to board Eastern China Airline. He used the ticket to gain access to the airport's VIP lounge, where travelers dine for free. The man ordered a first class ticket again and again, without canceling the reservation, but only moving the date. Eastern China Airlines officials only recently uncovered the scheme, noting that his ticket was reissued 300 times over the course of a year. Airline officials admitted there was nothing they could do to stop the process. A spokeswoman for the carrier called the man's free meals scheme "a rarity." However, Eastern China Airlines officials changed the rules and the meal ticket was no longer reissued after the first use. And the freeloader ended up cashing in his fully refundable ticket and getting all his money back.



I went to a private school where the teachers were evil, sadists. You might get into trouble with an unbuttoned shirt. Even if your shirt came out from your belt during lunch while you were sitting, you could be punished. I looked up the school rules and learned that sweaters with the school logo can be worn at any time, so I bought one 3 sizes too big and wore it all the time. It went down almost to my knees, and I happily didn't even have to wear my uniform shirt, let alone tuck it in. After that, half the school switched to sweaters.



One day, at some sporting event, a big scandal arose: the stadium had an exclusive agreement with one of the water producers, and they asked to sell only this water. Any vendor on the premises was prohibited from selling any other bottled water. So retailers of other brands put up signs that read, “Peanuts for sale, $1 per bag, free water bottle included with every peanut purchase.” Geniuses.



Subway had a promotion where you got a free sandwich if you bought a $25 gift card. Then you buy another gift card with your gift card - and get another sandwich. You could do this and eat free sandwiches forever - but alas, a year later they changed the rules so you can't buy gift cards by paying with gift cards.



When I was in college, an on-campus parking ticket cost about $250 per semester. In undergrad, we got tired of it, so I bought one, stuck it on my car (it faced the front and stuck to the inside of your window, with the picture facing out), and then we took a high-resolution photo of it. We edited the photo on a laptop and sent it to a sticker company. They printed the sheet for about 8 bucks. We got a couple pages of stickers and gave them out to our friends. As long as no one parked in the wrong spot or next to each other on campus, there was no reason why the parking police would notice that we had the same parking number. Never got caught and saved a ton of money because we split the price of the original sticker.



In the Netherlands, you can get crazy discounts in the month of December with a coupon on the McDonalds app. But these coupons expire after about 4 minutes of use, so you won't be able to use them all day. The trick was that you could simply take a photo of the QR code on the coupon and use it throughout the day. Oooh, I gained so many pounds that December!



I take the shuttle bus from Los Angeles to the airport parking lot or hotel, and then call a taxi to avoid the increased price at the airport. As a result, I go home for $10 instead of $40.



Some McDonald's have 4-piece nugget portions on their menu. It's often cheaper to buy 3 of these (12 nuggets and three sauces) and fries separately than to buy a meal of 10 nuggets and fries.



In 1996, Pepsi ran a promotion where you could earn points by purchasing Pepsi products. The more points you collect, the more prizes you can receive. Prizes included T-shirts, free Pepsi, sunglasses, etc. They also had a commercial where they advertised a Harrier jet for 7 million points. One guy read the rules of the promotion and discovered that you can buy points for 10 cents. This meant that to get 7 million points you would have to pay $700,000. The Harrier cost about $20 million at the time. Garen collected money, bought points and demanded a plane. When Pepsi refused, he sued them. He lost, but it was a good try.



One day, a guitar competition was being held at a local shopping center. Whoever scored the most points throughout the day won tickets to the Stone Temple Pilots concert. What they didn't know was that their competition was fatally flawed. The result was calculated based on the number of correctly played notes. But even if you play with mistakes, it was worth taking the longest song - and the result was guaranteed. I took a tune that lasted maybe half an hour and scored a couple hundred thousand points. No one broke my record, and I won tickets.



Safety glasses are required in the shipyard. If you lose them, our security department will make you talk to your boss's boss and ask him to write a note saying he talked to you so you can get another pair of glasses. Well, I walked into the security office without my safety glasses and asked for another pair. I was told to bring a note. Then I asked if I would be allowed to go out without safety glasses. They knew it was forbidden, so they gave me a scratched pair. They had them on hand because according to the rules you can exchange your scratched ones for new ones. So I took the scratched ones, worked on them for a day, and then went out the next day and exchanged them for new ones. But I didn’t have to have an unpleasant conversation with my boss’s boss and receive a note.



When you play a phone game that requires you to pay extra to play without ads, before starting the game, while loading, turn on airplane mode and the game will launch without ads. The trick is to let the game load and then disconnect your connection. You can't save your progress online, but that's a small price to pay for not having full-screen ads.



Here's a trick that saved me $100. My car was towed out of the Taco Bell parking lot while I was at the store next door for just a few minutes. I had to pay $100.00 cash only to get it back. I looked up state law and found out that in order to request a private tow from a restaurant parking lot the owner of the establishment must be present. A manager is not enough. Since they probably don't even know who owns this particular location, they have failed to ensure compliance with the law. The car was returned free of charge.



To get behind the stage at a Guns and Roses concert, I made a photocopy of their album cover and printed “access to all areas” on top, put it through a laminator, hung it around my neck on a string and entered. Did the same thing for Soundgarden, went through 2 security points on stage, but eventually got caught. The guys were shocked by my impudence.



My seventh grade math teacher told us that if we put the word "toaster" as an answer anywhere in our work, she would count it as the correct answer. She said it so quietly that only a few people heard it. I forgot about it until my final exams that year. I couldn't solve six problems on the exam, so I put "toaster" as the answer, and she credited me with all six, saying that no one had ever taken advantage of this loophole in the exams.



For tickets that cost money to cancel with less than 24 hours notice, there is usually a free transfer option available within that period. You reschedule your flight a week later and then cancel a day or two later.



While I was at university, my department at some point switched from submitting physical copies of assignments to submitting them digitally. The first time, several people had problems submitting on the deadline, so the department announced that if someone made a mistake when submitting an assignment, such as submitting the wrong file, the deadline would be extended by 12 hours. Since then, many students have deliberately submitted incomplete assignments to gain extra time.



If a husband and wife register their cars to each other, then if they send you a ticket from the camera, the name and gender will not match the name of the person behind the wheel, and you can write off the ticket by mailing a copy of your driver's license.



Most stores refuse to return air mattresses because people often buy them for a weekend or vacation and return them when they no longer need them. I was one of those people. The service desk told me I wouldn't get a refund because the box was open. The most they could offer was to exchange the mattress for a new one, which is what I did. After picking up my new mattress at the counter, I immediately returned my unopened air mattress and received my money back.
