Whether you’re in a tight spot or you just don’t give a fuck anymore, you’ll be stunned at what you’ll try to do in life.
But how fucking great is it when you try some dumb shit it 100% completely works out in your favor? So great that we’ve gathered this collection of stories where people couldn’t believe they got away with “it” (whatever “it” is).
After hours of trying to repair a broken digital camera, I went to throw it away.
I shrugged and dropped it on the linoleum. Heard a horrible crack, the motor turned on making a jack hammer sound before it clicked and became a smooth hum. The camera worked after that.

Fans on my old Macbook had stopped working. Searched on YouTube for a fix and found a video that said “Sometimes there can be lint/dust/etc. clogging up the spinny mechanisms. A good thumping can get them back in order.”
The guy in the video proceeded to hammer the computer with his fists and the fans came back on.
I shrugged, gave it a shot, and to my surprise, they hummed back to life and I was back in business. Still can’t believe it.

Told this girl in second grade I was a psychic just to troll and she didn’t believe me, of course, so she asked me to predict something. I said, “you’re going to scream right now” and as she was saying, “that’s dumb. Why would I….” A kindergartner playing tag randomly fell and rolled back into her legs and she screamed. She was really scared of me after that lol

The first time my wife and I went out to eat with our new baby, he was sitting in a baby seat next to the table, and he started crying. I picked up a salt shaker and set it right in front of him, and said, “Watch this.” And he looked at the salt and stopped crying.

Went to check into a hotel, and I asked him if there was a parking fee.
He replied with yes, it’s $15 a night.
I asked, any chance you could waive it?
He replied with: Yeah sure.
I was like. Ok, thanks lol.
Saved me $60.

I walked into a festival at midnight, no ticket, showed the security guard my wrist, he flashed his flashlight at my wrist and pushed me through the gate.

Got a Free Watch offer from a decent company I’d bought from before. But you had to spend over $300. I added 4 of the “free watches” which were usually $75 into the cart, which registered as $300.
I went to checkout and a green -$300 appears in the bill. Added my shipping address and two weeks later they came.

I was flying…somewhere…After everyone else was boarded I went up to the gate agent and asked about being upgraded to first class. After a bunch of typing on her computer she said sure and asked how I would like to pay for it. I said “By asking nicely?”
To my amazement she gave me a boarding pass for my new first class seat.

I half-ran a stop sign that got ran a lot. Cop pulled me over. By half-ran, i mean, i was doing a California slow-roll-through, and halfway through I saw the cop and stopped. He walks up, asked me if i knew i ran the stop sign, i said yes. Then, I dunno why, but I asked “may I have your mercy?”
He takes a step back, looked a little perplexed, runs my license, comes back, and just says “today, I am merciful. Stop running stop signs”. Let off with a warning.

I’m a straight dude with a lot of gay friends. One of them jokingly refers to me as “King of the Gays”. I was visiting some friends in another city a few weeks ago and we try to go into a gay bar, but the doorman tells me there’s a cover charge. I, being drunk, blurted out “BUT IM KING OF THE GAYS” and he laughed and let me in.

Friend’s dad a couple years ago has an old windows 2000 computer with a dead harddrive. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue as its an old ass machine just get a new one, but unfortunately this harddrive had the only backup copy of some very important family pictures since the external HDD they kept important file backups on died a few weeks prior.
Went through every troubleshooting step I could think of in order to recover the data and nothing. As far as I could tell drive was completely shot. So in one last desperate attempted I blew on the connectors and the ports like I was trying to get my NES cartridge to work, flicked the drive with my finger, and gave it a small dramatic speech about needing to stay alive for the family.
Fucking thing booted, stayed on long enough for me to grab the files, and then went dead.

I was on a first date. Normally, I never go beyond making out on a first date but that day I was feeling bold so I decided to ask her if she wanted to come over and meet my (actually my roommate’s) dog.
Yep, that worked.
I tried that line on a few more girls and it also worked.

I had a really tough math problem in Calc I didnt know the answer to. Something that used Hip Hop or Rap sales as a reference. I didnt know it, ran out of time, and it was the last question on the assignment, so I wrote “Rap died in 1996 with Tupac.”
She marked it right, obviously out of oversight, but my buddy beside me tried really hard to answer it, got the wrong answer, and the professor marked him incorrect.
He was flabbergasted.

I was a network engineer for an isp at the time, and I had to get to a mountain top where one of our towers were located to perform some maintenance. Had to ride a snowmobile all the way up there, and when I got there I realized I forgot the keys to the enclosure.
Not to be defeated, I tried to pick the lock, and I got it to open after about 20mins of trying. Yay, I didn’t have to quit for the day and got the work done.

I repair slot machines for a living. One was frozen in game state with well over a thousand bucks on it. All the doors were closed, no jams in the dollar acceptor or the voucher printer, all the lights were on and the software just stopped mid-spin. I was thinking the game finally died and we’d need to reimburse the guest for their lost money, which can take a while if it’s a shit ton of money like this.
The guest jokingly asked if it just needed it’s butt kicked to work again, and I figured that since this game is old and durable, I’ll indulge him. I kicked it, and the game came right back up, and the guest proceeded to win another $500 or so from that spin. Game was good for the rest of the day, too; no errors or anything.
I played it off as gracefully as I could, but I think that was my life’s peak and I’ll never look that fucking cool to anybody ever again.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
