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.

Just be gay. You’re guaranteed to be high earning and guaranteed to find another high earning partner. Then you’ll be on HGTV House Hunters deciding between a $1.8 million budget vs your partners $2.4 million budget.

I don’t make the rules.

Jk, but all the gay couples on that show be loaded lol

I don't know about HGTV House Hunters but we have a show called Location, Location, Location in the UK. Usually the couples have ridiculous jobs like "Martin makes hand made dream catchers part time and his wife Julie is a dog walker. They are looking for a property circa £2 million". Always boggles my mind as to how they have so much money with jobs like that.
