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.

5 years of pay stubs, certification to be able to rent an apartment in the state of New York, annual FBI background check, a clean history showing no travel outside of the United States in the last 10 years, no DUI, certification that you have never owned a television, license to not own a pet, 7 years of tax returns. United States birth certificate not in a red state...
It can be pretty difficult to rent an apartment in New York these days. Not to mention all the fees for above can add up to tens of thousands of dollars per year!
Excuse me? This seems completely out of line, of course people want to travel outside the US, and I guess I'd never ever qualify... I somehow find this hard to believe.
