We all have our own little life hacks, and over the years, we learn useful skills that help us handle tricky situations. We’ve gathered some tips from people online. You never know when they might be useful because life is so unpredictable.
The Story:
I’m a 26-year-old woman living alone. One night at midnight, I was already in bed when I heard the doorbell ring. I spent some time looking for my robe, and when I got to the door, I realized someone was trying to pick the lock. I panicked and froze, not sure what to do. Then I had a brilliant idea: I quickly went online on my phone and played the sound of a barking dog at full volume. You won’t believe it, but the would-be robbers left immediately.
