The purpose of this thread is for forumites to post any life lessons they learn over the course of a normal day that they think may be of use to other members.

I'll get the ball rolling:

When brushing my teeth, I never use a conventional "up and down and around" method going over the surface of the teeth. I have very good teeth, yet I only spend a very short time brushing. This is because I position the brush alongside the lower row of teeth with the bristles facing downwards. Then, twist the brush upwards about 7-8 times. Do the same but inverted along the top row. Continue along and around the mouth. This gets the teeth just as clean as several more minutes spent using a more conventional method.

And if anyone's going to say "I'm not taking advice in dental care from an Englishman", let me tell you to shut up pre-emptively.

So you basically roll your toothbrush instead of brushing?

I brush, through the medium of rolling! Well, this was new to me when I found it out, so I thought other people would like to share the good news.

One day while riding the bus, I realized the bus I needed to connect to, to get home, was across the street. So I got off to run across the street because it was about to leave (and the next one would be another hour wait) and I almost got nailed by a car speeding past the stopped bus. Anyways, the bus I needed noticed it and waited for me.

So my advice is, when you need to catch a bus, make a commotion of some sort (putting your life in danger to make everyone look works quite well) and you will get your bus.

Once when I used to work at this bar we had this "country theme day" fancy dress thing going. So I decided to be a smart ass and go as an Indian. The problem is, as I walked out behind the bar I noticed that none of the other staff even bothered to participate. So there I was, in a loin cloth and feather headress, standing behind an otherwise everyday bar. I had a lot of explaining to do to the customers.

Haha... One of my deepest held beliefs is "Never wear fancy dress"... That's probably why :D

Small circular motions is the proper way to do it. Left to right, up and down isn't as effective.

Don't have sex with a random girl you met at a bar. Abortions are expensive. Yes, I know there are condoms but they aren't reliable if you keep them for too long in your wallet.

Don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.
