What small piece of advice you would like to give that isn't heard enough ?
Computer related:
- Don't be your family computer savy guy, you just found yourself a bunch payless jobs...
- Long desks are cool and all, but the amount the space they occupy is not worth it.
- Block work related phone calls at weekends, being disturbed at your leisure for things that could be resolved on Mondays will sour your day.
Buying stuff:
- There is expensive because of brand and expensive because of material quality, do your research.
- Buck buying is underrated, save yourself a few bucks, pile that toilet paper until the ceiling is you must.
- Second hand/broken often means never cleaned, lubricated or with easy fixable problem.

When driving don't be nice, be predictable.
Eg.: If you are on the priority road, drive - don't be nice and slow down to let someone in from a side road. That's how you get rear-ended.
This is really good advice I also want to emphasize this when it comes to motorcycles for the love of God just take your turn at stop signs and lights do not wave them on. I have been apart of and seen people almost die from it.
In Portland, these "polite" drivers WILL STOP for people who want to cross in the middle of the street.
It drives me insane as a pedestrian.
I'm in Portland as well, and as a cyclist, it annoys me no end when a driver with no stop sign stops and waves me through my stop sign. I call them "niceholes".
Quick question, you American? If yes; well, duuh
I think they probably meant Portland, Kazakhstan.
My main transport is a bicycle. I do my best to be predictable, and obvious about it. And when someone tries to 'be nice' and let me go first when it's not my 'turn' / right of way, I start with all sorts of body language that says I'm not moving till after you do. Put my foot down, look at the sky, look 180 degrees away from the 'nice' car, look in the direction the 'nice' car is supposed to go, point in the direction they are supposed to go, shake my head point at the ground, cross my arms, etc, etc till they give up and just go. I've even had the opportunity to verbally explain the importance of predictability and Right of Way, but it usually doesn't go that far. LoL, we all just want to get where ever in the heck we are trying to get to, after all.
