ULPT: if you’re stuck on an annoying call, put your phone on airplane mode instead of just hanging up.

The other person will see “call failed” instead of “call ended”, which gives you plausible deniability.

An Unethical Life Pro Tip (or ULPT) is a tip that improves your life in a meaningful way, perhaps at the expense of others and/or with questionable legality. Share your best tips you've picked up throughout your life, and learn from others!

ULPT Rules:

  • Tips must be unethical, tips that are ethical will be removed.
  • Tips must provide some benefit to you.
  • Post titles must begin with "ULPT" or "ULPT Request", and should be descriptive. The title should explain the gist of the ULPT without needing a description. Post that are walls of text will be deleted at the mods discretion.
  • No tips about rape, murder, suicide, or any tips that violate Geneva Convention laws.
  • No tip lists, each individual post should be about a single tip. This includes links to articles that list tips.
