Tell us a secret you know because of your work that others might not know...

Tell us a secret you know because of your work/experience/etc. that others might not know...


For example...

My uncle/aunt rent the claw machines that allow you to get stuffed animals (regularly found in arcades places) and I found out that the way that thing works is that it has a timer that changes the claws strength. Therefore, if you are playing when the claw is on strong, you are almost guaranteed to get the stuffed animal. In other words, the claw can be weak for 20 min, then switch to strong for 2 min, and then to weak again for 20 min. Those times are adjustable.

the process of getting fish from the ocean to your plate in a restaurant is a nasty one.

What a fucking ripoff

i don't have anything that could qualify as a "secret"..

Planes are easy to fly, you could probably learn how to do it in a matter of days, landing is the hardest but Autopilot can take care of it.

It wouldn't be hard to break into a cockpit even with reinforced doors...

Stewardess quit all the time and their job sucks

99% of Chinese translators in the military don't know how to say 'light bulb' in Chinese.

There is a loopole here which allows someone to access unregistered/illegal drugs directly from suppliers 'legally' without going through the regulatory body. The record keeping system is extremely poor and all a person would need to do is forge a doctors signature and they could get away with it every time.

Heating and cooling guys can rip you off easily because you don't know anything about your furnace and air conditioner.

So, utilize any companies in your area that do free estimates and get several quotes before you get any repairs done. Chances are you'll find a better deal.
