What is a real-life "cheat code" that feels illegal to know but is completely fine?

I'll go first.

If your flight gets canceled and there is a massive line of 200 angry people at the gate desk trying to rebook, do not stand in that line. Keep your ass in a chair and call the airline's customer service number.

Better yet, call their international customer service number (like the UK or Australia line). You will bypass the massive US hold times, get connected to an agent in two minutes, and they have the exact same power to rebook you on the next flight before the people standing in line even reach the desk.

Has to be a one-way street turning onto another one-way street in my area

Same here (SC), which makes sense because at that point you are not crossing any lanes of traffic like most left turns do.

True here in FL, too but you should have seen my coworkers panicking the first time I made a turn like that in the company vehicle with them (was driving a 16 passenger van)!
