The rules of life

Roland

A couple of times recently I've had to advise people how to deal with life's little problems:
1. Is it plugged in and turned on?
2. RTFM
3. Have a cup of tea, and think about it

What would you add?

Treat other people like you would like to be treated
Listen to what people tell you
Don't be a dick

1. Don't be a dick (wisdom awarded to webrthomson)

2. Don't force it. (take this one however you will) 

3. Be patient.

I have good news & bad news:

Always wear clean underwear in case you get run over.

Tidying up is a way for those without hobbies to pass the time.

The time it takes to tie/untie a shoelace is inversely proportional to the time you have available to tie/untie it.

Be nice. It costs nothing and the returns can be life-changing.

If it still itches after a few days, see a doctor.
