YSK: Commas can be used in phone numbers to automatically input automated menu options
For instance, I'm on Jury Duty in the US this week. Kinda a freebie but I still have to call in and input my "ID" number, birthday, and zip code before entering phone tree options to hear my summons status. So I saved a contact in my phone for the jury hotline with the main number, my Id number, birthday, zip code, and menu option numbers all separated by a comma. Now when I dial using the saved contact, it will automatically enter everything in and I don't have to fumble around and spend unneeded time to hear if I have to report.
This can easily be adapted for any automated phone system that you call frequently although you'll have the best results when you have to enter in a long account number like at a bank.
YYSK: It's a huge timesaver in the age of digital automation to use your phone to navigate phone tree menus
Huh. Apparently we justed needed to start a new platform to start dropping the real life pro tips. Seriously, where have you guys been keeping these??!?
Buried underneath “LPT: Being nice to others is free.”
My favorite was people clearly trying to rephrase popular posts for cheap upvotes
"LPT: Spending money is something you don't have to do every day"
"LPT: wasting money is financially detrimental"
"LPT: Saving money is a good way to save money"
LPT: The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club.
Also just happens to be the rest of the rules too.
"LPT: Not spending money is a great way of saving money!"
LPT: Don't Buy Stuff You Cannot Afford
"LPT: If I was your friend, you could invite me places"
"LPT: hey, it's me, ur brother"
It's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me.
arrgghh.. .yes, I really do not miss those 'Captain Obvious LPTs'.
For real, was just about to say something similar. This is actually an amazing tip, not "LPT: Remember other people exist"
We're already at the point where maybe we shouldn't make this platform too popular because then every hobby sub will have the words "first time" and every other sub will be full of hate
