If you were (or ARE) a video gamer, you’re most likely familiar with “Cheat Codes”. These are hidden thing in the game, or things you can do with a game controller, that can give you an advantage in the game. People on Reddit are talking about the REAL LIFE “cheat codes” they’ve banked in their lifetime. Some of them are brilliant, some are intriguing, and some are just random. Here are a few:

  1. “Admit your mistakes quickly and then don’t dwell on it. People will trust you more, and you’ll move on from the mistake much faster.”
  1. “Diarrhea is the best excuse to get out of anything. No one questions it, and no one expects you to go to a doctor for it.”
  1. “Don’t enter the recipient(s) of an email until AFTER it’s written and ready to send. That way you don’t accidentally send unedited or unfinished emails.”
  1. “Make people laugh within a minute of meeting them. They will remember you and help you.”
  1. “To learn something . . . Repeat it to yourself three times on the day you learn it. Two more times the next day. And once the day after that, and then you should know it (most of the time).”
  1. “Being polite increases your odds of getting what you want.”                                                     
  2. “If you want to change the subject in a conversation, discreetly (but noticeably) drop something.  Make it look accidental. It will break the train of thought of the other person, and allow you to restart the conversation.”
