Stuff you know that others wouldn't know because of your job.

I'll start.

The price most insurance companies give you at renewal is most certainly not their best price. They usually have discretionary discounts!

Deli workers do not follow the hygiene standards nearly as much as they should. They're meant to change their plastic gloves for every sanger they make.

Fire away.

It's cheaper to run water slides twice an hour for 20 minutes each rather than 4 times an hour for 10 minutes each.

people who work in labs put on gloves and white coats to protect themselves from the bio-hazzards
they then use pens with the gloves on and when they are finished they takeoff the gloves put the pens in their pockets

later on they take the pens out of the jackets and use then in the out of lab offices

As an adhesive. Its a pretty good alternative to butter spreads though, and is usually bought in bulk by delis.

Ironically, hygiene guy in a supermarket is one of the most unhygenic jobs oyu can have in a supermarket.

Not gonna go into the tech job as erm zzzzz

So from a past job:
Its probably not Smirnoff.
If you get a pint with excess running down the outside it could be a poor barman/gas but also it could be they needed the liquid to run over the edge to wipe off the lipstick they just copped.
Holsten Pills or any pills are probably out of date.
If a rep leaves in good prize you're not winning it (eg two tickets to see liverpool play)

Oh and barstaff unlike what the urban legend suggests can actually keep time and dont want a demonstration of how well you can exagerate the lenght of time you've been waiting for your drink.

Where you work right now, somebody in that company has access to every piece of information you've ever sent, received or saved, and also has access to every single piece of personal information about you that the company knows.

What constitutes adequate security for your information in 50% of places is making sure that nobody writes down the password.

What constitutes adequate security for your information in 49% of places is making sure that the password is written down and placed in someone's drawer.

The other 1% have no security.

Bar workers have a hell of a lot harder job than most people think, as do waiters/waitresses so be polite they only work there. Cardinal rule is don't **** with people that handle your food/drinks! :pac:

only the end 3mm of a cigarette has tightly packed tobacco, the rest is loose which is why it all falls out when you rip the end off. This saves the tobacco companies millions a year, but so the cigarette does not burn too quick, they put chemicals in it to slow down the rate of burn.

Menthol cigarettes are the same as normal cigarettes and use the same tobacco, however the foil inside the packet is impregnated with menthol which inturn flavours the tobacco.

If you saw the rotten slug infested apples that went into the making of cider, you probably wouldn't drink it. Same probably applies to any mass produced food/drink.

No, when a call center agent sounds upbeat they're actually playing a game with one of their colleagues. Also when they start saying weird words, that's a game too.

Things I learned in my job? hmm... The Venezuelan government have some very odd laws and pretty much make them up as they go along. Pain it the bollocks so it is! :rolleyes:

99.9% of IT people that have access to this information get uptight when the non-techie populous think they're so important that their information MUST be being stolen when IT people couldn't give two craps about anything other than getting coffee, a new motherboard and tonights bottle of whiskey.

And every single thing they say to you, they've said to hundreds, if not thousands of people before you.

And while you're talking to them, they just may have their phone mic on mute and be having a conversation with someone else, just noticing a few keywords you say until they have to talk.

The name they use at the beginning of the call may not be their name. If they're bored enough, it may not even be A name (e.g. table / fridge speaking!)

Don't give people who prepare your food a hard time. They WILL take revenge!

Oh and you really don't want Vista, I'm not just saying it because I'm too lazy to upgrade you although that is a factor.

Poor countries tend to have bigger privat jets for their government than ireland, and maintain them badly.

most houses built in housing estates over the last 10 years are just thrown together. Building standards dont apply because nobody inspects them. A coat of plaster hides all problems.
