Day-to-day existence can already feel like a struggle with work, bills, and countless errands to run. Why not make things easier for ourselves with a few hacks and tricks along the way? Of course, the internet is full of helpful people offering their favorite tips. We’re sharing the best life hacks that are so good they should be illegal. Don’t get it wrong; none of these hacks are malicious, but some of them are borderline fishy. When it comes to these tricky hacks, take what’s best and leave the rest. If anything, you’ll learn a few tricks to look out for when you’re out in the wild.

#1: Hidden in Plain Sight

Never doubt the power of a generic uniform. We don’t condone nefarious activities. But there’s no question that you can get away with a lot if you have confidence and an official-looking outfit. For example, some people swear you can walk around with a toolbox and a mechanic’s jumpsuit if you want to steal a street sign (don’t do this).

If you want to really live life on the edge, you can try dressing like a technician, walking into an office, and lifting a work computer. The consequences of getting caught far outweigh the benefits, so we don’t actually recommend trying that. The moral of the story is that you should never underestimate how little people (including yourself) will question a uniform.
