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.

I did this while at my private religious boarding high school. Absolutely raked in the dough.

I am not ashamed.

I sure thought I was at the time, haha! But I was not too clever about it. Had I taken half of each coin bin every time, my gambit would have been successful for far longer. As it was, because I emptied them completely every time, it wasn't more than a few months before maintenance caught on and installed different locks.
