• (#21) Bouncers - Dress Codes

  From Redditor u/CloudyNeighborhood:

  Dress codes and other rules bouncers tell you at the door are usually made up on the fly.
• (#12) Thrift Store - How Well Are The Clothes Cleaned?

  From Redditor u/HellfireOrpheusTod:

  At [large thrift store chains] we don't clean anything that we sell, and we get some really gross stuff that touches everything else so next time you buy something from Goodwill, wash it well.
• (#1) Auto Insurance Agent - Be Careful With The The Information You Give

  From Redditor u/TheoLuminati:

  Auto insurance agent. Please, for the love of god, don’t tell auto insurance agents more than you have to. They ask you a question, just say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and answer the question as straight as you can. If you go on and on about your life story, you will probably end up saying something you don’t have to and making your rate higher, or getting yourself declined. We WANT to get you that policy as cheap as possible, only tell us what we need to know and don’t say anything else.
• (#16) Retail Worker - Why We Push Credit Cards On Customers

  From Redditor u/That_One_Girrrl:

  I know a lot of people get annoyed when a store employee pushes the credit card, but at the kids clothing store I worked at, if you didn’t get at least x amount per day they cut our hours. I wasn’t pushing you a sh*tty credit card to be an a**hole, I was scared to lose my hours. If you’re in the same position or have been, I’m sorry you dealt with this too. It’s honestly sh*tty and our minimum wage job should not depend on peddling your wonky store credit card/loyalty program.
• (#7) Construction Worker Tip - Just Use Soap

  From Redditor u/lyckadese:

  Construction boy here. If your windows or sliding doors are tough to open and close. 9 times out of 10, we put your own dish soap on tracks and the thing works perfectly. It take 5 minutes and we charge 150. Dish soap people, its better than wd40 sometimes.
• (#2) Dentist - The Truth About Toothpaste

  From Redditor u/therock21:

  I’m a dentist. Here’s the lowdown on toothpaste.

  As long as it has fluoride they are all basically the same.

  When I was in dental school, the [Tooth paste brand] lady came by and said that everything that says [Toothpaste brand] on it is all exactly the same, the only difference is the packaging. So whether it says whitening, or gum protection, or whatever else, it is all exactly the same.

  The exception is sensitivity toothpaste typically does have an extra active ingredient. KNO3, which helps with sensitivity.

  Don’t ever feel obligated to buy the expensive toothpaste because you think it will be better for your teeth, just buy whatever you like best.
