My Dad (38 yr retired LA. County Sheriff) taught me when I first started driving 2 things. #1. If you CAN NOT see the person in front of you ENTIRE TIRE on the ground, at a stop/red light, you DON’T have room to maneuver around them in case of car jacking/emergency. #2 If you CAN NOT see a Big Rigs MIRRORS, they CAN NOT see you either!!! Stay safe out there!!
Best advice on this whole vid. 👏 thank you for some real info
Another couple of tips for ‘big rigs’ they are huge and they are heavy and they cannot stop or maneuver very quickly. It seems obvious but people just don’t seem to get it! Cutting off a semi will get you killed! If you get hit by a semi the semi will always win no matter what car/truck/SUV you are driving!
Also, don’t drive next to a semi or their trailers. If they blow a tire it sometimes shoots the rubber from the tire straight out the side. My dad is in his late 60’s and has driven semi’s since he was a teenager on his dad’s farm and has driven long haul for 40 years. Both of my grandfathers drove semi’s too starting at 18 for the military. And then later one for his farm and the other drove long haul for different companies. He’s seen and been involved in a lot of messed up accidents where people died and there was nothing he could do to stop it. This eats at him every single day because he still holds himself responsible even though he was in no way responsible for any of them and was only a passenger in most of them.
He was following a semi and a small 4 door car was driving next to the tires of that semi. The semi blew a tire, the rubber from the tire blew out the side and hit the front passenger door of the car. It blasted the car off the interstate into the center grassy area and it rolled several times. The driver of the car did not survive.
Another time a small Ranger sized pickup being driven by a drunk driver rear ended the semi trailer while the semi was going 65 on the interstate, my dad’s partner was driving and my dad was in the sleeper. The driver of the pickup was decapitated. A few years ago on a 2 lane highway heading home and only about 45 minutes away from his destination, the yard, my dad was hit head on by 2 teenagers who were looking at their phone and not watching where they were driving. They swerved across into oncoming traffic and my dad nearly rolled his semi trying to avoid them but ended up hitting them head on. He said they never even looked up but that it all happened in seconds. Both the driver and the passenger were 17 years old and both were killed instantly. The accident was investigated by several police agencies (state, city, county) and all found that he had done everything he could to avoid the accident and he was in no way at fault. The boys’s parents even met my dad and invited him to the funeral and didn’t blame him at all but he still is eaten up by it. He wishes he would have rolled his truck so they might have stood a chance even though all the investigating agencies said it wouldn’t have done any good and he may have been killed also.
Just be careful, for your sake and for semi drivers safety and mental health, give semi drivers some room! They’re working, let them get where they need to go, stay out of their blind spots and for gods sake stop cutting them off! There is good reason for the gap they leave between them and the car in front of them and it’s not for other cars to fill up. That big gap is how much space they need to be able to stop in time if traffic comes to a halt! Also, what’s with the number of idiots cutting off semis and then break checking them?! Do that many people really have a death wish? Or do they think they actually have a chance of surviving it with only minor damage and then suing the company who owns the truck for big money? That crazy behavior is only going to get someone killed and most semis have traffic cameras installed all over them so the crazy person’s family will get nothing when they sue because they caused the accident!
It infuriating! I don’t know how my dad and grandpas never snapped and went postal with the number of idiots on the road purposely trying to make their lives difficult!!
Okay, here's an easy thing to remember about mirrors vs windows. Mirrors are *hung* on walls; windows are set *in* walls. If your "mirror" is set into the wall and your fingers touch, it's probably a window tinted to look like a mirror. You can always check by turning off the lights, using your phone light or a flash light, and press your face against the glass to see if you can see though it.
I cant help but picture someone suddenly banging their face against the glass on the other side
@@TP-bw5jx 😮not cool thanks 😂
@@TP-bw5jx Very Cabin in the Woods 😂
@@TP-bw5jx why would they bang there face against the glass on the other side? I dont understand
Since people know the bit about mirror vs window, it is a simple matter to fake the mirror.
As someone who lives in tornado alley, bathtubs - while a good idea - aren't always the best place if there are windows in your bathroom. You need a windowless room in the center of your house, like the laundry room or hall bathroom.
Or just a hallway with all the doors shut.
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking!!!!! My first instinct would be to stay away from the windows! Thank you I thought it was just me lol
Both of my bathrooms are along the exterior wall, so we use the master bedroom closet during bad storms.
Couldn't u use like a heavy covering but keep a tiny hole to breathe. Put weights on it to protect u from glass
In Germany if you feel unsafe or are harrassed while going out in a bar or club just ask the bartenders "Does Luisa work tonight?" It's a common code and the staff will understand, that you need help. I guess other countries use other names. But I think this is so so helpfull and should be known better.
I think it's fantastic.... I know there are some bars here where in the bathrooms there are signs posted with whatever "code" or fictitious "drink" you can order so the staff knows you need help or are in immediate danger....
In America it's called the angel shot, basically tells the waiter you're feeling unsafe
As someone who works in a jewelry store, here is a tip when you have swollen fingers: usually your hands are down, that means blood etc. is flowing to the tip of your fingers more easily. Try holding your hand fingers facing the sky, so blood etc. is flowing down and the fingers shouldn't be as thick and rings can come off easier. I've had many times where people put on a ring too small for them and they couldn't get it off. Yet, with this little trick it worked everytime! No soap and water needed.
Nice!
my moms hand have swelled during each pregnancy she’s had and so her wedding band has gotten stuck because of it. she swears by windex
Windex also works better than anything on stuck rings.
@@MamaPinks it works everytime and I swear the rings are stuck like hell and they always get anxious, but I have yet to see this trick fail me.
I was an ER nurse for a while and this is a super common problem that, you're right, could absolutely be solved by using gravity, but people freak out and it gets worse and worse, which is when you need to seek professional help.
For the tip about the woman's car being labelled, I would just drive to a police station. What if the perpetrators followed you home?
I was thinking about that. I probably wouldn't get in my car. Get someone else to pick it up. That's super scary! And defs go to police station
Just carry a straight-edge razor blade or pocketknife and cut the zip tie off right away, and you wouldn't need to worry.
My immediate thought when I saw this: What if someone is hiding INSIDE the car?
@@jacklow9611 my brother works for the police and they have regular meetings about this stuff to update employees about what's going on. If anything is attached to your car you don't want to cut it off in the parking lot and instead should go straight to the police. From what they have found someone is usually watching in the parking lot. If they see you taking the time to cut off the zip tie they will use it as an opportunity to drive up next to you and grab you. The money thing or lacing your door handle is also a big thing happening in my area right now. Now that people are catching on they are using flyers instead of money.
There have also been instances lately of people sticking AirTags to people's cars in order to follow/find them
As a flight attendant, I can confirm the “ DO NOT INFLATE YOUR LIFE JACKET IN THE AIRCRAFT” 😊
I stayed in a hotel in Anaheim once when my girlfriend and I went to Disneyland, and when we got to the room, I started looking around and there where mirrors that faced every part of the room. I was totally creeped out. We put sheets and stuff on all the mirrors. Alladin's Lamp was the name of the place. I am 99% sure that something was up and my gut isn't usually wrong.
Oh goodness, as an ex-swim instructor, that first clip brought me back. I don't know if they still do it, but back in the day **all **the students I had that were Boyscouts would come in asking for help with their water safety tests. Without fail, this was always the hardest one. What they don't tell you about that particular little "hack" is how strong your ability to tread water needs to be to pull any part of it off. Wet pants are heavy. 😆😆
I was thinking the same!
I remembered this from my junior lifesaving class!!! They also forgot to mention how hard it is to get those wet jeans off underwater!!!😅
For soldiers though I think it’s useful
Im less than a minute in and came here to say there's no way i could do this as someone that can't swim. I watched how he kicked his legs and was like UHM no, this is useless to me and lots of other people that can't swim or barely
@Melissa coviello I practiced it in the Army but it was for ocean survival. Soldiers wrap thier packs in a shelter (hootchie) to cross rivers or just march under water if ordered to😂
I have a safety tip. If you're going out with friends or a date, take a selfie with whoever you're with and send it to your parents or closetest relatives so in case something happens, they know who you been last.
Take photos often, you never know what you'll notice looking back at them later (same guy in several shots in different places, someone else in need of help etc) and if you go missing it could possibly help aid in your rescue
oooo I always do that - since I was a teen, actually. broad selfies, with as many surrounding people as possible, even if they're strangers, behind me. Then when I get home I delete them. I'm happy someone else does it too, be safe.
Ooh that’s good.
the selfie also let's the police know what you are wearing to make it easier in searching for you.
If my friend went on a date (at least when we lived in the same country lol), I would secretly also be there eating my meal, watching the same movie etc. If she was uncomfortable in anyway oh…hi what are the chances of bumping into you here!? 😂
I worked in a jewelry store in college and the one trick that usually worked to get stuck rings off was windex. I didn't believe my boss until I witnessed it with my own eyes lol. We always made sure to have a bottle of windex in the store purely for that reason. In my store the windex was not for cleaning the glass lol. Also, if your ring is stuck and it's not an immediate emergency, don't have the ER cut your ring off, go to a jewelry store. Whoever cuts your ring off at the hospital likely isn't going to care to, or know how to, cut the ring off in a way that makes it easier to fix (not blaming them, it's not their job or concern). If you go to a jewelry store though, we're gonna do our best to get the ring off, while also trying to make sure it's more easily fixed once it's cut.
Another thing to note. If your skin is damaged as well as swollen, or if you're elderly, don't try to yank off the ring. That's how you deglove the finger. It's easier to cut off a ring than it is to surgically reattach your skin. I've seen too many older folk who were too emotionally attached to a ring to damage it try to pull off the ring and end up in the ER.
Always a good idea to have your keys in your hand before you leave a store. Never be in the parking lot digging thru a purse for them. And stay off the cell phone when walking to your car. Just pay attention to what’s going on around you.
The mirror thing also doesnt always work.. i have a mirror on my door and my fingers touch. Im sure someone isnt living in my door. It also could mean that it is a cheap mirror.
There was a Keebler cookie elf living in my door and now I no longer have to buy cookies.
It can also mean it doesn't have glass, i.e. it's just a polished metal. Then it's just a really expensive mirror.
@@MutationIvori Very true. Then if that is the case and you own it I say pawn in off for the best price possible jkjk!
That's when you try the flashlight!
You should cut into your door just incase a small camera was not placed inside.
@@ericwilliams1659 there wasnt. Its like a walmart mirror lol
My daughter and her sorority sister got followed and boxed in late at night, but remembered a story I told her about using my truck bumper to push another truck from the fast lane to the break down lane. When the person got out of their car she slowly backed into their car until they were bumper to bumper and punched it, using her bumper to push it out into the street aggressively, then drove to a nearby police station. Never did find out who it was that followed them.
Scary!
Smart daughter you got there!🥰
yeah when you're really young and you're still using your parents' car they always terrify you telling you how you have to be careful not to ruin it, not even a scratch ( I never did). But secretly I always thought that if I was in danger I was going to run over my stalkers / aggressors if necessary. Better to ruin a car than something worse.
Good for her! She probably saved both their lives.
It would b cool see a demo of this done. That is so helpful and scary 😞
I also recently reiterated the safety precautions to my 23yo daughter who is traveling abroad. One of the suggestions is to not hitchhike lol but also- that any time she goes/rides anywhere with a person, to take a selfie with them, and post or text me (or the group chat) the pic with their name and vehicle. That way we have facial recognition with a name of strangers she encounters along the way. This was a very challenging moment for me as a mom. I am so genuinely happy she is traveling and living her best life, but I have a little anxiety knowing she is so far away. Her BF joins her this week, and Will get to travel with her for the last week+ of the trip. 🥰♥️ small flex… this is the middle of 3 remarkable young women that I have raised- my youngest is a senior in hs… but the older 2 graduated from ASU on full academic scholarships and grants… they are all so brilliant! But a mom always worries a little. Be safe young ladies! And if your mama checks it, it’s because you are irreplaceable and loved beyond measure. 😘
I lived in Texas for a few years and twice I found myself in the bathtub due to a tornado. The thing is, we took the mattress from the bed to pull over us in the bathtub to protect from flying debris. I thought this was SOP until I read some of the comments.
I tried the touching mirror test years ago, when I was in a hotel in California. I found out that it was a two way mirror (bedroom and bathroom) . I asked to change rooms; was told there wasn't anything available. I had no other option but to put the bed sheets over them. Suddenly I was told I could change rooms! (imagine that!!). I was only going to be in town for 3 days. So I checked out of the hotel and went to the airport. put my things in a locker; went sightseeing and then back to stay at the airport for the remainder of my stay.
I’m dumb, what does it mean when it’s a two faced mirror? Is someone spying on you?
What was behind the mirror?
A mirror is a piece of glass with a film backing. Your fingers touching only means the glass isn't as thick as the glass on another mirror. Do you really think that a hotel was built with two way mirrors and a whole room next door for spying on people? I'm pretty sure someone would have made this public by now if it were true.
@@Jane-yg3vz You might want to read about the spycam epidemic in South Korea, you might change your mind about this.
@@Stellalun_a but that's spycams, not mirrors
The voicemail one was smart. I wouldn't have even thought about that.
Also the amount of sarcasm that was in the part about parked car part was fantastic 😂
I thought the voicemail one was great too, then wondered if you can change your voicemail if you don’t have service so googled it, and no, you can’t. Too bad. Or that would have been genius.
@@dontmindme633 Yeah, considering it’s very dangerous to put your exact location and other personal info into your voicemail any other time, it’s a somewhat limited and very Facebook suggestion.
@@dontmindme633 No, they are saying that that message, your new voicemail intro will play to people calling your phone long after it's dead or out of service. Meaning there is more of a chance for someone to find you even if your phone no longer works.
I’m guessing no thought that your phone is probably going to be the first thing a kidnapper is going to take for you and secondly would you really do that before you go out? I don’t think that’s very practical in any situation, it’s a lot like calling wolf
Emergency services have said not to do this. As Dawn said, you will not be able to change your voicemail if you don't have services, you might be able to change it but it won't update until you have service, and you will drain your battery trying. They suggest trying to send a text since they don't need as stong of a signal, and then conserve your battery in case you find a place where you do have service.
If you're in a new apartment, check the nails/screws in the door hinges. Some landlords cheep out and use short nails or screws (which makes the door much easier to break down). Get them replaced with longer ones.
I actually used to live in an area where tornadoes where a normal thing. My grandmother always told us that if we couldn’t get to our underground shelter (outside about 50ft from the front door) we should hide in the bathtub. And i quote “your grandfather built that bathroom strong just in case he wanted y’all to be safe”
I'm a therapist and I kid you not I have recommended your videos as a coping strategy.
I self medicate on the daily but it’s nice to have a professional recommendation. 😉
"This recommendation is not sponsored" 🤣
LOL that is amazing!!!
Excellent Medicine choice Doc!
If you suggested this to me you wouldn't be my therapist for much longer 🙃
The tornado recommendation of hiding in the bathtub was used by a grandmother when the tornado tore through Kentucky last year. Her daughter had taken the grandchildren (3 months and 3 years) to the grandmothers for safety but the tornado hit her house directly. The grandmother put both kids in the bathtub with blankets, she held onto the side of it. The children were later found in the wreckage of the home safe and completely unharmed still in the bathtub. Was an incredibly humbling and harrowing moment to watch, the video is on RUclips
And the grandmother?
It's also advised to lay on your side in the foetal position. If something does fall on top of you this way it's not going to press on your ribs and restricts your breathing, and it will leave you with a pocket of space.
@@skullsoul19 she survived, she said the bathtub was ripped out of her hands when the tornado hit and she had no clue where it went with the babies. There's a video of her talking about it here ruclips.net/video/SBP3qCYtQP4/видео.html xx
Also, getting in an inside, windowless room like a hallway, and dragging a mattress over you, even into the bathroom. I live in KY as well. Always tornadoes here in the fall. The scariest natural phenomenon to witness in person in my opinion.
@@ProudPlatypus Oh, that’s also what is advised in a crush situation! Man, that one needs to be spread. If you’re in a thick crowd and get knocked down you’re supposed to curl up tight on your side and cover your head with your arms. Though ideally you stay upright and keep arms at chest level to try and keep breathing space. Or just stay out of crowds!
The focus (8:50) on the beautiful lol 😂❤
Finds it on her car, “someone thinks I’m beautiful!” Gets kidnapped🤦🏻♀️🤣
Focus luv, FOCUS LOL
To add onto the stoplight tip: stay far enough back that the bottom of the next car's tires line up with your car's hood. That's how my driver's ed instructor taught me. It leaves enough room for safety but not so much that it's weird.
There was a really good video calling out that lady with the money on the car tips as just scare tactics. It mentioned about how the vast majority of human trafficking victims are trafficked by people they know, not by being snatched off the streets. Also how they are usually vulnerable women, like immigrants, runaways, etc. If your well off enough to have your own car, it's more of the basic creeper/attacker you have to worry about. So the usual principals of parking in well lit public areas if one can applies. The chances those types will mark a vehicle are low.
A better tip would be to let people know that most key fobs will only unlock the driver's side door when pressed once, and all the doors if pressed twice. So it would be a good habit to only ever press it once while in public, so people can't open other doors when you get in. This is an actual safety feature built into the door unlocking mechanism based on preventing carjackings and other types of auto based crimes.
Was looking for a comment like this. That clip was screaming scare tactics that aren’t going to be common. Like random druggie bag tucked into the door handle? And yes, the press once on the key fob to get into your car when alone is something I always do now in pubic.
@@brookekivi That one was pretty dumb. If there's a napkin stuffed in the door handle, it's probably just going to be something disgusting like dog poop. I have experienced the "money under the windshield wiper" several times, it always, ALWAYS turned out to be a fake $20 that was really some religious kooky krap, or political propaganda, or both. I just drive to a gas station or somewhere very public and throw it in the trash.
She thinks only "pretty" women get abducted and sexually assaulted? Girl, get over yourself! 🙄
Also, you never go straight home after an incident. You go straight to a police department for assistance, especially if you think you are being followed.
I was quite dubious about the part where either the cloth or money can be imbibed with 'drugs' that can make you dizzy or faint and has an almost immediate effect (because why would a trafficker use something that would act only after you got into your car and locked the doors). It seems like fear mongering as you would need prolonged exposure or at least inhaling for most common drugs to take action. Even chloroform that is very popular in media needs to be breathed in deeply to take effect and it would stop working minutes after removing the cloth.
For real, they be out here acting like b- grade movie Russian spies with drugs to lace the money with that will penetrate the skin barrier and knock you out instantly. Like human traffickers have easier ways to abduct women and random creeps aren't going to this expense (if such a drug exists it's going to be fk off expensive and highly controlled).
I learned the pants flotation device back in the 60's when taking classes to become a lifeguard. Hardest part was getting the wet pants off.
No way i could manage that without drowning lol
I had to do it for lifeguard training too. I almost drown but I did finally do it. It takes a lot to pull off pants under water.
Practice somewhere shallow folks
Anybody who is a Marine Corps, Navy, Coast Guard vet or been through any survival school has been taught this technique since, well forever...
@@Wolverines77 Indeed! Boot camp was so much fun 😂😂😂
Me who only wears skinny jeans: 💀
4:40 -- I retired from the Army in 2016, and returned to college. I paid for ALL of my college textbooks thru pdf files, cost only 1/10th of what real books would cost.
Leaving space between your car and the one in front of you is also helpful when there is some sort of traffic incident ahead.
I was stuck in HORRIBLE traffic due to construction, and there were only two lanes open instead of five.
It was bumper to bumper, but I kept some wiggle room, which came in handy when a car about 7 cars ahead of me broke down. Everyone behind them had been crowding close, except for me!
Waited for an opening in the other lane and scooted right out and was on my merry way.
Oh I love it when you ‘DO YOUR RESEARCH’ Charlotte! Makes me smile every time 😂
I done THAT to my mom yday! But she didn't know what I was talking about, so it wasn't too funny! If my kids would have been with us they would've gotten the joke! 😆
One tip that's widely recommended for women is to always walk with purpose, as if you have something to tend to, it's said that this strategy would work well to keep you safe from creeps, getting mugged etc
I'm a guy and i still do that lol good way to avoid those street surveyers too
I walk how I drive. BYE SLOW POKES
If only we lived in a world where we wouldn't have to walk like we "have something to tend to," because men and some women assault, rape, and murder others.
The "walking with purpose" gives off confident, capable vibes. Also that you are fit & strong, usually. Walking as if depressed, injured, on your phone (distracted) etc marks you as an easier victim, so does meandering around like a tourist. It may not deter everyone but the smart muggers will go for easier marks first. Size also does (unfortunately) make a difference. If you're smaller usually you're seen as weaker & more vulnerable. Imho as a taller women (some) shorter men can even be intimidated by you physically. I've also gone for the muggers who tried me but I live in a country where it's unlikely they have guns so attack was the best defence. Don't think I'd try it in the USA.
My I’m-on-a-mission walk apparently gives me massive RBF. Which works well.
Someone did try to grab me when I was in Boston… he learned that I was wearing steel-toed boots, I go for the knees, and shriek like a banshee.
The scream also works on coyotes
My best friend does that. She bends over to cry and the tears just fall right out of her eyes. So smart.
From someone who both owns a plumbing & heating company and has been inside a 2 story house while it was being hit by a tornado ( at 3:00 am) the tub IS a good place to go if there is no basement. The pipes that bring your water run all the way into the ground. They're pretty tough. 👍
My fiance and I love when Charlotte says "do my research!" we love it so much that when we play PlateUp we yell it while researching kitchen upgrades!
as a kid we seemed to have a lot of tornadoes in my area (south east Michigan). my parents would pile us into the bath tub and put couch cushions over us. we didn't have a basement, and our bathroom was in the center of the house with no windows.
When I bought my home in Wisconsin, one of the factors in selection was if it had a shelter or area that could serve as a shelter. My parents home has a built in shelter.
Yeah we are in southern Ontario and I know the bathtub thing cuz we've had tornadoes here more than I care to admit.
When I was a kid we would go into the basement and I got to build a pillow fort under the ping pong table. 😂 Now I pile my cat carriers into the tub and hang out in there until the storm passes. My old roommates used to pull the mattress off their bed and make a next in the hallway L-bend.
@@ViolosD2I most of our houses are made of brick lol. It's not a question of them blowing away, it's if the giant cone of swirling debris is going to take your house apart. A piece of straw can go straight through a tree in those winds. Granted sometimes they hit trailer parks, which is like blowing over tin cans lol.
Same! I live in Mississippi and we did that exact thing so so so many times as a kid
Aside from double sided mirrors, now there are tiny cameras. I have an app in my phone to help me locate any items using Bluetooth. It’s great for if you lose your Fitbit or Apple watch, but also handy for locating anything that isn’t supposed to be in your room.
My mother jumped into a tub during a F5, she is the only survivor of all the homes. The entire neighborhood was devastated
Another life hack regarding phones - If you're out & about solo, rethink those earbuds. You need to be able to hear what is going on around - and especially _behind_ - you at all times. Having your phone out is fine, but eyes on your surroundings, not the screen. This goes double after dark!
As for the poisoned article in the vehicle door handle thing? A Houston woman wound up in the hospital from it. Allegedly.
I love waiting that last second to try and scream SUBSCRIBE at the same time as Charlotte, its like a fun little game.
😹🧡🤗
Yep. As a professor, I tell my students this. Most cannot afford $150 and over books. So I give them this little tip because it helps save money. Most books can be found. Even the art books has all the art too, so your study is easier.
the tip at 6:52 --- I was taught that when you stop behind another car (at a light, stuck in traffic) stay back far enough that you can see their tires on the pavement. That means you'll have enough space to get out from behind them if you need to. So the tipster is correct, but you don't have to leave a full car length.
The mirror thing is no biggie. It's probably just cheaper glass than the other mirrors. I stopped the video to write this, just as this look of horror came over face, lol! I envision you thinking about some things that you've done in hotel rooms, either by yourself, or with a man, and wondering if someone was playing eye-spy on the other side of the glass. If it's uncomfortable in the future, bring low tack tape, ask for an extra single flat sheet, and cover the mirror. You're a gem Charlotte, and you make me laugh every day. ✌️&💛 from Winnipeg!
Yup, I'd be more concerned with hidden cameras in the showerhead or other places.
@@pablodelsegundo9502 , so, bird bath in the sink only, with the shower curtain closed then?
Thank you for explaining why she was even doing that, I had no context and couldn't figure out why anyone would care. That's so creepy and I obviously trust hotels too much.
@@kinasakuraba I'm with you. I had no idea what was happening during that part of the video until Charlotte explained. I'm not in hotels enough for this to really matter to me, but I am going to be paranoid from now on whenever I stay in a hotel...
for the mirror thing the gap depends on what kind of mirror it is. Like a normal mirror is glass with a layer of silvery film for the reflection(normally aluminum but silver for old timey and fancier ones.) There's a gap because you're poking the glass part of the layer. In some cases the glass layer is extremely thin or the reflective layer is actually on the surface which is why there's no gap.
When it comes to testing if it's a one way viewing glass... there was a case years ago where a woman accused the bar she went to of having a two way mirror in the girl's bathroom and she like, smashed the mirror but turns out it was a normal mirror and she had to pay for it so yeah, if you're unsure the flashlight test is a safe option. Please do not go breaking mirrors in fancy hotels because they are expensive af.
The mirror trick is real, but not always nefarious. Regular mirrors are panes of glass with the reflective material (usually anodized aluminum, but sometimes silver) on the back side of the glass which is then coated with light blocking paint. The gap is the glass between your finger and the reflective surface.
Cheap mirrors and two-way mirrors are basically like silver auto window tint on the front facing side of the glass, but usually sprayed on. Since there is no light blocking paint, they are cheaper to make.
The tornado one is because the bathroom is usually the smallest room in the house, therefore the structure is strongest there. In tall or multistory buildings, the stairwell is the strongest area. Often the stairwell is used as an actual structural support in the design of the building.
The tips with the money on the windshield, etc. are good, but with the money, drive away first. If it is under the wiper, it will stay there until you can get out of that area. Even then, use gloves as it could be dusted with Fentanyl, with is easily transferred into your bloodstream by merely touching it. Same with the objects stuck into the door handle. There have been several overdoses from people just picking up a small bag of it.
Regarding fentanyl:
Source: ohio state university "can you overdose from fentanyl from having it touch your skin" written aug 4, 2022
"ACMT and AACT repprt that if thr palms of your hands were covered with fentanyl patches, it would take approximately 14 minutes to recieve 100 mcg of fentanyl (using a body surface area of 17,000cm^2, palm surface area of 0.5%, and fentanyl absorption og 2.5mcg/cm^2/hr)."
"The above calculation is based on fentanyl patch data, which overestimates the potential exposure from the drug in tablet or powder form in several ways."
"[E]xposure to fentanyl by touching is unlikely to harm you, and fear of fentanyl exposure may prevent [health responders] from doing important work."
"Our nation's leading toxicology expeets have concluded that 'the risk of clinically significant exposure to emergency responders is extremely low' and accidenrally getting fentanyl on your skin is 'unlikely to cause opiod toxicity.'"
A number of videos have been posted of cops falling unconscious or falling down when near (or thinking they're near) fentanyl. Although the drug is more dangerous when airborne and inhaled, those videos show classic signs of trauma, not toxicity. In other words, by being told how outrageously dangerous fentanyl is and having to face that fear, their body goes into safety mode. "Mind over matter", if you will. Like if you think/worry that you ate something poisonous, your body will react as if you had. Or if you think about fishbones getting stuck in your throat while eating fish, your throat may start to hurt. Or if you and someone else talk about yawning and suddenly you have to yawn.
As far as the Stop Light "hack" in driver's education we were taught to never get so close to the vehicle in front of you that can't see their rear tires. this is good for a few things: 1 If the car in front of you stalls you can get around them. 2. If you get hit from behind you have less chance of hitting the vehicle in front of you (which may save you from being held responsible for their damage.) 3. If you need to change lanes you can safely do so without having to reverse.
My rule for mirrors is “no space, leave the place”
If you touch the reflective surface and there is a space between your finger and the reflection, your good. If there is no space, leave the place, cause that’s glass. Of course you can just not change in front of the mirror, but when your showering or in a rush and you forget, it’s a problem.
you can actually learn something with Charlotte too...i learn how to laugh so much everyday. 😂❤️
6:08 They literally tell you this every time you board a plane.💀Even if you were too stubborn to listen, the air stewardess would be yelling at you to not inflate the life vest!
Leaving "exit" space at a red light or stop sign in uncertain situations is something my father taught me decades ago. We lived in a reasonably safe town, but he had to drive through questionable parts of a nearby city to get to work. Drivers behind me may honk their displeasure, but I really don't care. I am also appalled by the number of people who straddle railroad tracks while idling in line. I keep well back from them, in the event that the safety guard starts to go down and they need to reverse, because they have pulled up to within inches of the bumper ahead of them. I have had people behind me honk or shout or flip me off for costing them that extra couple of seconds by not closing the gap. Too many people are afraid of offending other motorists to drive responsibly.
Oh my, earlier this week there was an accident with a bus breaking down on railway tracks... Luckily, the bus was on its way to the garage and there were no passengers. The driver got out quickly when the safety guards came down, tried to signal the train... But of course they couldn't stop in time. Bus got cut clean in half. I'm with you 100%, never ever stand still on railway tracks if you can at all help it. A train at some speed or even full speed is an unintended but effective murder machine.
The mirror thing is to remember 'No space, leave the place'. I always check dressing rooms. As for the driving tip, I also stay far enough behind to maneuver out if necessary & I also travel in the inside lane, to keep from getting boxed in. Car jackers often work in teams. 2nd reason, to stay away from pedestrians who might approach my car. As for the ring thing. I don't know about that big ribbon or whatever it was, however, I have used dental floss. It takes a minute but worked perfectly. You can look it up in a matter of seconds to see it in action.
Also, hiding in the bathtub is only helpful if there isn't a window in your shower... but when hiding in bathroom, if you can, use a mattress to cover you in the tub. It really will save your life.
Doesn't work if you have a waterbed
Mattresses which are full of metal/springs? 🤔
@@JF1908x yes they are, but if the roof caves in on you while a tornado is thrashing around, it'll help protect your body.
💖Mama Pink's Life Hacks:
1. When traveling with and extra bag and want to sit, put the shoulder strap around your ankle or thigh so someone can't walk by and snag it.
2. When you put your purse in the baby seat in a shopping cart, clip the seatbelt through the purse straps, so someone else can't walk by and grab it.
3. Don't throw away brown bananas, freeze them in their skins! The sugars don't allow them to freeze solid and they peel easily enough with a peeler or knife for the perfect smoothie!
I always do the second one. All you have to do is turn your back for on second, and it's gone.
1. Is just a disaster waiting to happen 🤦♂️
Never put your purse in your shopping cart. It's an invitation for someone to grab it. I've seen it happen. Keep the strap over your shoulder and the purse between you and the cart. Thieves want a purse that they can grab on the run.
@@sarahu5217 I've seen people simply grab a purse right off a shoulder, especially with the elderly, its not as safe as you'd think. That little seatbelt will give that thief a good jolt too. Lol
For the college text books, you can usually find a few copies at the school library. If your school has more than one campus w/ a library you can request it be sent to your campus. Also, if u have your classes all selected for an upcoming semester, you can always check out the used bookstore. Ask any of the students getting ready to sell their book from last semester to you for much cheaper than the store. It's a win/win for the student whose taken the class as well as the used bookstore is liable to give them maybe $20 on a good day. Having to pay $25 for a $175 book is never a bad deal.
Edit: I myself have gone to the used bookstore to sell my books and gotten such a crap offer, I gave it to someone in the store about to spend $100 on the same book they'd just offered me $5 for. I felt so much better giving it to someone who needed it, rather than the store ripping us both off. I'm sure there's other ppl who have or feel the same way. If you see someone in the trade in line with a book you need definite just ask them. 9 times out of 10 they'll just give it to you.
Mirrors: The absence of the gap means that the reflective medium is on the room side of the mirror not the wall side of the mirror.
The gap you see between the finger nail and its reflection in the first two is the thickness of the mirror glass because the reflective medium is on the wall side.
This could indicate that the third one (no gap) is a see through.
The red hair is looking especially vibrant today, Charlotte.
Thank you for pointing that out. I thought I may be the only one who noticed.
Looks absolutely gorgeous! Methinks our Charlotte may have it coloured?
Either way; it looks amazing!
@@witchcorpse no she is a natural beauty in all ways. She was born with interchangeable coloured eyelids
You don't leave a gap at a red light to escape a situation, you leave a gap so you don't hit the car in front of you if you get rear-ended. Instead, make sure your doors are locked before you even start your engine, and always check you back seat before you get in your car.
Exactly this. Yet somehow it’s now a “life hack” 🤦♂️
My mother taught me that as soon as I was old enough to drive. I've passed it on to my own daughter and in time, she will pass it on to her own daughter
Also, it doesn’t help you “escape” if there are cars on either side of you. Nice if the lanes are empty, but, where I lice, they usually aren’t.
Exactly. That was the first thing that came in my head when the video started. I was surprised she didn't include this point.
LOL I just happen to be in a hotel room now and I did the test! I now have blind spots in my eyes from testing with the flashlight lol
"This means you've been labeled, you're a woman, alone and beautiful" Charlotte: "Thank you." 🤣
I have never laughed so hard at the suggestion of bending over to cry your tears away 😂😂😂😂. Thank you Charlotte.
The bathroom suggestion is a good one. I had heard of an F5 tornado ripping a house apart, and the only thing still left above the foundation was the bathtub containing the family members that sheltered in it.
An EF5 has winds of over 250 mph. The family would have been sucked right out of. They must have been a distance away from it. How many family members would a standard tub hold? I would think a claw foot would withstand it. Those tornadoes can drive grass into a wooden wall.
@@WeAllLiveInTheTwilightZone it’s been some time since I heard the story. I believe the mother and two small children survived in the tub, but the husband/father got pulled away and killed. I DID hear the story third-hand, so it’s possible it’s not true. The story did specify that everything above the foundation other than the tub were ripped away (other than maybe some pipes). The very best place to be during a severe storm is another zip code, but otherwise the bathroom is the most sheltered in a normal house.
@@robertmesser557 LOL...another zip code would absolutely be the best place to be in a tornado. The next best place is underground (basement or storm cellar), then the bathtub. Don't forget to pull a mattress over you if you can to protect from flying debris, but sofa cushions will work as well. Last would be a closet with no outside walls...don't forget the cushions.
Not sure anything but underground would suffice for an F5, but it's worth a shot.
YES...I live in a tornado prone area & have survived several.
@@norabunyard5798 for an EF 5 you definitely want to be underground. Some of them, even the bathtub itself won't survive. Check out the Jarrell Texas tornado of 1997. That monster turned large metal appliances into tiny bits of scrap metal. You don't want to know what it did to the people.
@@norabunyard5798 You are very right… but I’m from Florida and we have NO basements or storm cellars (water table too high). Thankfully tornados are rare here, but hurricanes are not. The bathroom trick is good for hurricanes too, as they generate heavy winds too. I’ve been quite lucky, as the bad ones seem to avoid my area…. Hurricane Ian just went around me, hardly even got rain.
I do wish you and your neighbors the best of luck with future storms, as I feel horrid seeing peoples homes, lives, and property being destroyed by such things. All we can do is prepare, and pick up the pieces afterward.
About the free textbook: make sure the website you're visiting is safe otherwise clicking that free pdf might cost you your device.
Texas here, as a kid I remember getting stuck in twin tornadoes. Next day in the news there was a story about a grandmother and her two grandkids who survived in the tub, it works 🤷♀️
During training for my job (Law Enforcment) we were taught how to turn our clothes into floating devices, and we had to float for 30 min to pass the training. It worked so well I fell asleep while I was floating.
How long ago?
@@___LC___ I don’t want to give away my age😉but it was many years ago. I was an agent with the US Border Patrol.
I’ve actually done the crying forward one haha. I was like this makeup took an hr to beat on I’m not losing it now damn it lmao
It's a piece of ribbon to get the ring off. But you can use thread or dental floss, too. It also helps to hold your hand above heart level with an ice bag around your finger and ring for 5 minutes first.
I was taught to leave that extra room in traffic jams so you can get out and driving class said to always see the bottom of the bumper of the car in front of you at a light for rear ending protection but never considered these for evil purposes.
The gap between cars is also useful in case the car behind you rear ends you, because if you're too close to the car in front of you and someone hits you from behind, and you rear end the car in front of you as a result, you're also at fault.
The lady at 8:26 is very misinformed about the napkin laced “fet” situation. It is not possible to overdose just through contact to the skin- if you find something like this on your car, place it on the ground or trash and go wash you hands where you can, and just avoid touching your face (wiping nose, rubbing eyes, etc). I see videos like that cause unnecessary stress and alarm. Stay safe peeps!❤️
Using pants as a flotation device as well as not inflating your life vest inside of an aircraft should it ditch in water are what I learned as a former flight-attendant. If you fly, pay attention to the safety demonstration and always know how many seat backs to the nearest exit. Thanks for the tips. See you next time.
Another benefit of leaving space between you and the car in front of you is that if you get rear ended you are less likely to hit the car in front of you. At minimum, insurance is less complicated. At maximum if people are working in pairs its harder to box you in.
In a tornado, always go to the most central place with few windows. People die from debris, not the wind. My great grandma survived being picked up by a tornado and was dropped a mile away, unharmed. She was in a rustic location.
Another car tip with the space to maneuver: it's also good to keep at least 1-2 car lengths of space in case you get rear ended, so that you won't rear end the car in front of you and cause a pile up.
1-2 car lengths is the recommended distance when you are driving behind another vehicle.
It’s because if there’s a sudden stop in front of you, you will need that 1-2 (or more for faster speeds or weather conditions) car lengths to safely come to a stop without hitting whatever obstacle is in front of you.
Also leave space between you and the car ahead of you to create a buffer should you get hit from behind. The space will allow room to slide forward and either lessen the speed at which you strike the car ahead of you, or avoid it all together.
I am a dentist and we use 2 different dental mirror. One touch and one did not. It just depends on the type of coating behind the mirror. Mirror that touched is more precise and clear, less glare. Mirror that don't touch is not as precise. Both are mirror.
Have cried at work facing the floor so my tears drip and hit the floor. This totally works. Saves your face. Sad but true.
There's a difference between safety tips and fear mongering.
Ya that lady with the zip tie on car handle was definitely fear mongering.
@@Mama_Bear524 She could have made up anything, really. Reminds me of the time when people were warning us about bad guys hiding under our cars. Gotta check under that car, folks. Not sure a human even fit under a car but whatever.
@@Mama_Bear524 I would count the zip-tie as an "suspect something bad" but not specifically what was claimed. I would suggest any woman seeing that, get their car onto a busy street and make turns to try to shake a tail. It will take only about 5 minutes to do but it will be safety gained no matter what the intention of the person with the zip ties. BTW: I can see kids who know the zip tie thing going through a parking lot adding zip ties just to watch the results.
I was so glad you ended your video on how to cry without smearing my makeup... It's always a little sad when your videos are over!! 😂😆😂😆 Thanks, Charlotte for the laughs!! Always a great start to my day!!
Awwww 😭🥰🥔
I mean, I solved that one already… don’t wear makeup.
@@BeeWhistler sometimes, I don't. Sometimes, I do. But, somehow, this comment seems like you are trying to be a bit rude. I hope that isn't your intention because there are a lot of people on here, including me that are kind but do not stand for being disrespected. You wouldn't be THAT person, would you? 🤐🤐
AS some one that lives in/near Tornado Alley, not all bathtubs are anchored to the ground nor are they always on the inside area of a home. Also, if someone lives in a multistory building, they should be trying to get to the lowest possible floor to safe areas from the storm. For single level homes, if the bathroom is along the outside walls of the house, close all doors to the hallway and hunker down. If possible cover with a mattress. Also, closets that are not on the outside wall of a house would be another safe choice.
The first one is actually useful and it is also taught in scouting for ways to save yourself if u are caught in a situation of drowning
The first video brought back memories of a class the military euphemistically referred to as “drown proofing”. Which is weird because if you can do all of this you can either swim, tread water, or stand up. I guess it does help if you’re gonna be there for a while but it seems like a tremendous waste of time and energy. Not to mention that you’ll be in your unmentionables! 😉😳
It does seem like you'd be rather exhausted after... like, too exhausted to hold the damn pants closed. Especially if you have arthritis. Forget about it. I'll just drown. Lol
on the other hand, you don't wnt to be wearing heavy wet pants!
We had to train in this to become lifeguards in the 90s, but by the time I was a lifeguard instructor it was removed from the curriculum, as it wastes energy and makes people more likely to succumb to hypothermia. Other things were removed over the years for survival due to the same reason, as well, such as rescue floating. Putting your head in the water decreases likelihood of survival.
Oh what a difference it makes to test the hypothesis, before spreading misinformation.
@@___LC___ so floating on your back is no longer beneficial? Weird.
@@erikarussell1142 Probably because it cools your head down, which is not beneficial for for surviving in water.
Hi Charlotte! I love your videos! Going through chemo just now and I watch you to keep me laughing! Even bought a wee shark head grabber! 😂 love from Scotland 🏴
The thought of you watching this vid alongside your shark grabber is jus the sweetest!!

Been through chemo. It is bad, so love to hear that you are laughing. Lots of love. PS I had cancer with a really bad prognisis. Eight years later I am still alive. Wish you all the best too.
The bathtub in a tornado is something I actually grew up with. Thankfully one has yet to hit me and only time I saw one we were in the truck, but just hopping in the bath with your dog is a good way to keep safe and kinda calm down.
I was terrified of tornadoes after watching The Wizard of Oz. We moved to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania when I was 6. Whenever there were tornado watch I'd get upset and nervous. My Mom would tell me we had too many mountains surrounding Pittsburgh so I didn't have to worry because they'd block any tornadoes.
When I became an adult there were a few tornadoes here and there in Pittsburgh. One actually went over my head while I went through the Squirrel Hill tunnel. Found out later.
There was also a tornado that went through a mountain range in another Pennsylvania city. It zigzagged up and down several mountains.
At this point my mother was no longer around so I couldn't say anything to her.
I do remember looking up to heaven and saying, "Mom do you see this?!?"
The crying in the Mac and cheese for a salty twist had me rolling lmao
I think the RUclipsr was trolling I could be wrong but I did 😂
Yeah, I guess mac and cheese is better than a tub of Ben and Jerry's. The salty tears would make it melt faster.
@@solitaire10 I thought she was being pretty obvious about trolling! Who eats anything that comes out of the human body other than nursing babies? That's so gross🤣 Then the you're bawling and preparing food at the same time?! Yeah that's not a thing or at least shouldn't be.

Ring removal hack:That wasn’t just any old piece of rubber, it was a tourniquet from a clinic or hospital. They’re pretty handy for a couple of other things too, like as a grip for hard to remove jar lids. Your doctor or nurse will probably be happy to let you keep one next time you’re there.
other hacks for car safety I've been told about always carry jumper cables, a multitool, zip ties, foil-wrapped gum , and a spare phone charger preferably with a battery pack in your locked glove compartment or somewhere in your car, and the smaller items on your person you can use those in an emergency to do temporary repairs to a car enough to get you to a safer area and if anyone stops to offer you help tell them that you're on your way to meet someone and that you had called to let them know where you were at and what was wrong imply that someone was on there way to get you and get a dashcam and a rearview cam
My aunt gave me my grandmother's ring at my wedding. I put it on but it was too small and got stuck. I was so panicked but the venue had a coordinator who brought me up to the bridal suite with a bucket of ice to get some of the swelling down. That a butter did the trick. The ring is safe and I wear it on a chain now. Lol
"Cry into your Mac 'n Cheese for a salty twist."
I'm already watching Charlotte's videos for a salty twist so I'm good, thanks.
Love it, keep it up. You brighten my day.
6:21 Not all bathtubs are anchored to the ground. In most new construction the only thing that anchors them is the 2" drain pipe. That's it. 7:39 Dental floss is great if you don't mind peeling all the skin off your finger.
Tornado one is correct if you want to add onto that. Make sure you keep a helmet or if you have a little kids multiple helmets underneath the bathroom sink. A thick blanket to drape over your children or yourself. We also keep a massive emergency bag in the bathroom and harnesses, muzzles, and leashes in said bag. Of course obviously chargers and stuff.
I laughed way to hard and then was suddenly sad at my dark heart...
'Yeah you're bound to find some plastic bottles on a deserted island!'
I shamed myself for laughing.
Charlotte you are beautiful, hella intelligent and just so likeable. Thank you for your hard work, dedication and crazy content that is always so close to my wicked heart!
Much love to you Young Lass in Canada, from this Old Crone in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
If you've watched any Survivorman (it's free on youtube), you'll see that human garbage is pretty much everywhere, especially on beaches. There isn't a corner of the world we haven't polluted with plastic.
My husband and I did some grocery shopping today and as we were collecting our stuff, the kid was checking the next customer who had a couple items. He wanted paper and the kid was looking for some so the customer said that plastic was fine. The kid said, "you save the planet going with paper" and my husband laughs back at him and says, "where do you think those paper bags came from?... trees, which takes in our carbon dioxide". It was all in good fun!!
The advice for the pants/flotation device is good if you can already swim or tread water. If someone is drowning, they won’t be able to do any of that. 😅
They’ll end up drowning with their pants around their ankles 😂
You're supposed to leave that kind of a gap between you and the car in front stopped at the lights anyway, that way if someone rear ends you, you don't then rear end the car in front and cause a pile up, increase your injuries and make it harder to rescue you if your car is crumpled.
A general rule is you should be at least able to see the bottom of the tyres on car in front of you.
Wait but the crying thing is so valid, if I have a mental breakdown before I have to go on stage I’m not about to let myself cry normally, we don’t have time for that
Mirror trick is a flight attendant must!
One of my earliest memories is sleeping on pool rafts in the bathroom during hurricane andrew(1992). It can make a difference seems small but it works for any kind of storm if you can’t go into a basement or shelter. ….🌈⭐️The more you know….haha
For the two-way mirror, tapping on it helps. If it sounds hollow then there is space behind it.
I thought everyone knew to take shelter in the bathtub that's lowest in the building, I've never thought to go anywhere else, ESPECIALLY since the shape of the tub provides help for me when it comes to restraining a scared pupper from panic-bolting away into the danger! I have a slip leash in the bathroom for emergencies, and her paws slip and slide in the tub so she can't easily escape!
I genuinely used to cry like that! I got so good at hiding the fact that I'd been crying from my parents. Literally just bent over, cried, dabbed at my eyes with dry toilet roll and then dry the lashes. Thirty seconds later you'd have no idea I'd been sobbing!
That you had to hide the fact you'd been crying from your parents....😿
The first one of using your pants as a flotation device is (or at least was) taught in Navy basic training... Along with other helpful tips about surviving a naval disaster!
Army as well, incase the ship sinks. Aust Navy called us “pongos” where the army goes the pong goes😂
Still is, at least as of 2006. Had to float our coveralls.
About the car thing- If you’re worried about someone watching you, isn’t it an absolute horrible idea to drive home? If someone is watching you, they will follow you and then know where you live right? Wouldn’t it be more safe to stay in public places/ around people or even go to a police station?
I can’t even begin to imagine what I would do in a situation like that, but I don’t think going straight home would be a good idea. Stay safe out there everyone and be aware of your surroundings ❤️
Agreed! Find the nearest police or fire station. If you can't find one, go to the nearest gas station, go inside and tell the clerk that someone is following you and you need a safe place to hide until you can summon the police.
When I went to driving lessons to get my driving license I and well at least here in Finland everyone are taught to leave at least six feet away from the car in front of you. That way if someone crashes into your back you are less likely to hit the car in front of you and cause more and possibly severe injuries. As an example I know someone who didn't leave the safety gap and someone drove hard onto the back of her car and caused her to slam into the car in front of her, which the impact broke the front of the car and broke her legs in the process. Making her end up getting stuck into her car and unable to get out. Thankfully the car did not catch on fire and the fire department was able to cut her out of the car.
It is also important to keep safe distance while driving on the road, not just when you are on idle and waiting a light to turn green or when you are behind a stop sign. Depending on your driving speed on the road you should always have a hundred meters in between you and the other car, and if you are in high way you need lots of safe space due to high speed if you need to suddenly slam down the brake. Such a simple safety measure has saved many lives and it will continue to save lives. I am unsure if this is something you get taught in most of the European countries, but I hope that it is also practiced in other countries. It is such an important and common sense rule that protects your life and the people around you.
