    My dad’s car stalled and so jokingly I slapped the dash and then when my dad started the car, it worked later the engine stalled again and he told me “Hey Liam slap the dash” low and behold, behold the car started, and we were off to school

      Was the car a Toyota cause early 90s Toyotas had a problem where if a fuse burnt out in the system it would either not shut off after taking out the ignition key or it would sometimes stall at random so alot of people figured out if you smacked the middle of the dash it would temporarily fix the problem

    First day of school, and due to an error by the school I am assigned the same locker as my bully. Clearly not going to tell him so go looking for another locker and find one that looks empty. Walk up to it, jiggle the handle a bit and force it open, throw my stuff in, and close it. Never talked to the office, just used that apparently empty locker all year without ever learning the combination. Also amazed no one decided to try and steal my stuff from it.

    I was driving a Freightliner, hit a small bump and warning lights lit up like a Christmas tree and a warning buzzer started buzzing. I radioed the mechanics shop and described the problem all the while with the buzzer let them know I wasn't kidding. The head mechanic told me to make a fist and smack the dash just in front of the steering column really hard. I followed the instruction enthusiastically because I really didn't like that truck. All of the warning lights and the buzzer went right back to normal. Jokingly I asked what page of the repair manual that repair was listed on? The mechanic said "It was on one of the pages I added."

Without thinking too much about it I kind of jumped over the handle bars and started running like a cartoon character. Somehow this actually worked and I was able to land on my feet and jog to a stop without falling.

    In regards to that last story, I once took my finals for a math test without even looking at the questions. I just went down the scantron without any order. The teacher saw this and approached me at the end of class telling me that I did not deserve the 85% I got on her quiz. I looked at her with the straightest face and told her you don't know what I deserve. Took my answer sheet and walked away.

      if this was a 13 question (minimum needed to get something that rounds to 85) and it was 4 answer multiple choice, you'd have a 0.001% chance to make an 85 from random guessing.

She never asked me to clean the windows again, nor did any other manager in that store. In truth, I just had a headache that day, and the smell of the Windex was turning my stomach.

I'm shocked how a pile randomly slapped together junk actually works better than that "highly advanced" Zonai technology in this stupid game. I can do more with wooden planks than the lasers this game provides me with. I've beaten Gleeocks (dragons) by hiding in a hastily slapped together battle shed and just shooting arrows out a peephole left in it.

    The Biggest "Holy Sh!t, It worked" Moment I had was just recently this month when my Grandparents' Chromebook Laptop wasn't showing color even if the Laptop was opened and no matter how many times they press the power button to turn on the Chromebook, Originally, I Let the Computer die from Battery energy loss, I tried it again and Grandma would always plug in the charger no matter how many times I tell her to stop plugging the charger in the port, Thanks to the Internet, I found out that the Reason your Chromebook is showing a Black Screen and No other Color is because your Charger keeps overheating the Chromebook, To fix a Black Screen of Soft Lock, You have to Press *Power* Button and *Refresh* Button and *Hold Both Buttons* for Ten Seconds, then you Unplug Charge Cord and Power Adaptor from their perspective Spots, Close the top half of The Chromebook down and wait a couple Minutes, Open the Top half after, Re-enter your Password and Whammo! You got yourself a Workingly good Chromebook again, to Avoid the Black Screen of Soft Lock, Unplug Charger unless if Chromebook is needed to charge again

      What is interesting is that the sound probably did less than sticking their hands up in the air. Many predators have avoidance instincts that are triggered by height more than anything, so their prey suddenly being around a couple feet taller tends to confuse them at least.

    One day at my grandparent's place in rural Alabama, my brother and I were using ATVs to pull trailer loads of sticks from a tree my dad recently cut down to a burn pile. My grandparent's property there is large enough to make it worth it to use the ATVs to get around on it, and in this case it was well worth it to use an ATV with a trailer to transport the sticks.
    The sticks were a pain in the butt to handle, because they were all fanned out and took up a lot of space. Because of that, we had to take multiple trips from the tree to the pile. At some point, one of the sticks somehow got caught underneath the trailer, and it was getting dragged along.
    When I noticed it, I told my brother to stop, because the stick was facing forwards, so I was concerned that if it got caught on something on the road it could damage the trailer. Once he stopped, I walked over and tried to pull the stick out. It didn't work. I pulled harder. Nothing. I looked under the trailer and discovered that part of the stick had gotten tangled up in the bearing for one of the wheels. It was completely wedged in there.
    I was about to get the knife from my ATV to cut the branch when my brother suggested a plan. I pulled the stick slightly out from under the trailer so it poked out at a 45 degree angle. I then drove my ATV onto the branch so the wheel pinned the branch in place. My brother than backed up his ATV, which yanked the branch free of the trailer.
    It's not so much of a "Wait that worked?" but more of a "Great idea!" but whatever. I think it counts.

    I had this one teacher in kindergarten that hated me with a burning passion and to this day I have no clue why. She is the reason behind a lot of the issues I have today and this is just one of many stories i have from her time as my teacher. One day near the end of the day me and a girl(The teacher's favorite student) got into a fight over a toy. The toy was a coffee container that had been messily taped shut. Of course instead of stepping in my teacher sat there until me and the girl had busted open the container which had ground up coffee in it. I was the only one to get punished. The next day when I came to school she pulled me aside and asked how my parents punished me after they found out what happened. She hadn't called home to tell them what happened, She expected me to tell them. I had of course, not told them what happened, So I came up with something on the spot. I looked at my feet thinking she wouldn't believe me and told her that they made me stand in the corner for ten minutes. She believed me and told me to go back to my desk. To this day that is the only lie I have told that had actually gotten away with telling.

    One evening, when exiting a grocery store late at night, I saw someone disheveled sitting down nearby, talking to themself out loud and in a seemingly dazed manner. I didn’t know what to make of the situation, and there was something about the stranger that gave me a particularly bad feeling.
    I then remembered seeing a reddit video that claimed that people in rougher areas sometimes avoid potential trouble by pretending to be crazy. I decided to try it, by putting on a dazed out grin on my face (not the friendly kind), and intentionally twitching every few moments (while walking past the person). He immediately stopped talking to himself upon seeing this, I was shocked over how quickly he stopped when I did this, and I was glad to leave the area without trouble.
    To confirm, I do not encourage doing this personally, since there is the risk that someone can call the bluff, or otherwise backfire.

And started singing the song Finale from Undertale.. you know.. the one that plays during Omega Flowey and Asriel Dreamurr, God of Hyperdeath? Yeah sung that, charged a Genji into the cart, killed both Supports, severely wounded the Tank and the last DPS, which the rest of my team cleaned up that, and I simply responded with "wait that worked..? *WAIT THAT WORKED?!*" I was so damn confused yet also felt like a god in that moment

    During closing hours at a Domino's I worked at, the manager locked herself out of the office. Without access inside, there would be no way to do the final closing duties and there was no way to close the store. I remembered that the store had a false ceiling, meaning I could push up a tile, and possibly access the office. So I got a ladder and lived my childhood dream of becoming Spider-Man. I poked a tile, walked on the thin catwalk they had set, lifted a panel from the office, and superhero posed after opening the door. Didn't get a raise, but it's the tale that makes it worth it... and getting to go home.

    One day my high school government teacher said something really rude about the work I did. I am usually really nice to even my least favorite teachers but i was already having a bad day and after about 30 seconds I subconsciously said "What an asshole" out loud as he was walking away and immediately thought *FUUUUUUUCK*. He started to yell at me but in a dumb stroke of luck my brother just texted me about some video game news article. So like the evil genius I was I acted all surprised and was like "oh no no I'm so sorry I wasn't talking about you! My brother just sent me a text about some game company ceo we both hate!" And then he apologized to ME for thinking I called him an asshole. I still feel bad for lying and probably embarrassing him but at the same time he diiiiiid make a really rude comment in front of everyone that wasn't necessary so id say we are even.

    Story 9: Isn't it funny how often a solution to a problem floats into our minds when we're in the relaxed, floaty not-quite-asleep stage? I'm impressed with the creativity the poster displayed in his weird jerry-rigged fuel pump. The drinking straw was a great touch. I've heard of rubber bands, Duck Tape, band-aids, and paper clips being used to keep a car in motion, but a drinking straw is a new one.
    Edit: My guess was going to be the fuel filter. That little film-canister-sized gizmo can cause disproportionately major problems. I was close -- it *was* part of the fuel system.

After work, I would walk into the convention center wearing my uniform and carrying a backpack with casual clothes or sometimes an easy cosplay outfit inside (e.g Luffy), walk all the way to a bathroom inside the main area, change out of my staff uniform and into regular clothes, then walk around the whole Comic-Con doing whatever such as buying art, comics, meeting artists and celebrities, all without spending hundreds of dollars on a Comic-Con pass

    When my son was about 18 months old, he started hitting me. Like a lot. He thought it was funny. Well, I wanted to make sure that my son was going to be the kind of person that did not act like his father. One day, while he was taking a nap, I was watching reruns of Family Guy I had recorded on the DVR. My son woke up from his nap in the middle of a chicken fight sequence. Normally, I would have turned off the show because it is not appropriate for such a young child, but I had a flash of brilliance. I let the fight sequence play out, paused once it was over, then said to my son, “Listen up, child of mine…you are not allowed to hit anyone except a giant talking chicken.” then I turned off the TV and we went about our business. Within 24 hours, he had stopped hitting me completely. Because every time he would, i would remind him that I am not a talking chicken. The only thing I feared was that he might meet Big Bird one day and all hell would break loose,but so far…my son has not been in any fights with anyone, and is all around a good kid. Who knew that Family Guy would be a source of potential parenting techniques?

    At uni, our new semi-underground undergrad library had an absurdly designed arcing staircase connecting its two levels. Most of the stairs were fine to use, but as one got closer to the inside of the curve, the shorter the steps got until they almost vanished! And, of course, gaggles of chatting students loved to stop on the stairs and block them for everyone. One day, I had to avoid a large knot of talkers and carefully negotiated the narrow treads left open to me. And missed a step. Suddenly, I was diving headlong from a good six feet up towards the thin carpet and concrete floor below.
    Somehow, my brain offered up the three brief Judo lessons I had taken 10 years previously. I stretched out my arms, tucked my chin to my chest, caught myself, and rolled, the inertia carrying me completely upright! I strode into the book stacks as if I planned to, aware of someone behind me blurting *"Did you see that?!"* Joe the Judo instructor had insisted everyone learn to fall safely before anything else. And he may have saved my life that day. It actually worked!

    It isnt much compared to the others, but i still was really surprised so here it goes
    In my country it gets really hot during the summer, especially at night. Due to this, people usually leave their windows open, and a lot of mosquitoes get in. When mosquitoes get in my room, i wake up with at least a new bump in my body.
    Well, a few days ago i was getting ready to go to bed, when i see that a mosquito has lodged himself on my ceiling. I faced two choices: Go to bed and get sucked, or jump as high as possible towards my ceiiling and see if i could slap him dead.
    I was quite skeptical of the 2nd one, as i used to be way fatter and my jump was quite small. But i said "screw it" and did it anyways.
    1st try. I hit him first try. Guesss losing the extra fat made my muscles more efficient.
    Went to sleep that night super happy about myself

    The secret about that forgetful professor - dont try it twice. Heart a matching story from France, where a guy carefully picked a water mellon of a reasonably heavy fruit, weighed it, then stuck the printed label on a xbox and went through automated cashier system - the weight was cross checked and matched - so he got the xbox for like $5 instead of $500. Then he got greedy and tried to repeat his success ... and got caught - so he lost the xbox from the successful run as well and got banned from the store

    I once cut a mole off with a pair of scissors and immediately regretted it. Bled forever, then got told it would grow back. Well, joke’s on them because it didn’t. So, I guess I don’t regret it in the long run.

    I have a realistic dog bark but weird like the dog is in the distance it's uncanny . My now wife was working at a deli at a local we sell everything store. She instantly gave me butterflies... So I hatched a plan . Threw the bark down the deli aisles and she starts looking for a dog... Fast forward everyish day for a week barking at this poor girl she is getting confused thinking she might be crazy sees me in the aisle and asked me if I heard it . I confirmed/confess she calls bullshit so I throw the bark right past her her then her eyes flash I see the "it's fucking you "? Face I sheepishly smile got her number we have been married 7 years this coming month

    i remember when i like 5 or 6 i just finished my summer break activities and was waiting for my mom to pick me up. i waited for like 30 mins in front of the classroom, getting worried, then i saw some payphones and remembered that i could press 0 for an operator (didn't know about collect back then, and i had no money) and when an operator answered i just told her that i was waiting for my mom and asked her if she could call my home. she called my home and after like 15 seconds, she told me that no one was answering. I'm pretty sure i felt really sad, thanked her for trying, hung up and started walking to the exit, and who should i see just arriving in her car? my mom! she forgot to tell that morning that she was going to be a little late and to wait in the classroom with the teacher or something along those lines. i told her about me calling the operator to call home, my mom told me that was a good idea, got in the car and went home. never found out if we got charged for my little call.

    I have similar one to that test that worked: We had a pretty lacy religion teacher who was repeating the same classes and running the same tests for each grade she was teaching. I randomly found that out because my older brother was also in her class and my mother kept his old tests. After getting easy As for almost one year by just learing my brothers old tests, my mother found out about it. She then demanded that I would take a test from my brother, erase his name and then put my name instead and just return that test. I was pretty nervous about that as one could have easily seen, that a name was erased and a different one being put afterwards plus we left all the corrections and the grade she gave, so the scam was really obvious. Still next class she returned the test to me and I got the A she already gave my brother with no issues at all.
    I'm pretty sure my entire family lost all respect they ever had to teachers like for ever.

    Took a plane to another country. After landing, the local authorities singled me out to search me. Their English wasn't great, but I understood that they wanted to check my pockets and my backpack for something. I had something in my pocket that I didn't want them to see. So, I grabbed it and just kept it in my closed fist with my phone in my other hand, and held my arms up as a sign of compliance. They did their search and let me go, without even looking at my hands. My heart was racing and I felt like throwing up, because I was expecting to be imprisoned in a foreign country.

    You know those inflatable obstacle course things they break out at the pool during school holidays? Or is that just an Australian thing? Anyway last time I went there, on two of my attempts at it I was _right_ near the end when I fell off because I couldn't figure out how to get around the last thing before the little slide at the end, the thing that looks like a capital I with like two half circles cut out of the sides (I'm bad at describing things). So on my final attempt I decided to just try pushing it over with my whole body. It worked.
