Tips In Limbo
Let's take a journey through today's DayTipper inbox. These are tips that don't make the cut but are interesting anyhow.
THE GOOD
When interviewing a contractor or a serviceperson, try to bait them into talking negatively about the competition. As a general rule you don't want to hire someone who can't win the job on their own merit.
THE BAD
Keep windows down. Get more miles per gallon by rolling down your windows instead of using the air conditioner.
That might be true. But this tip is STILL rejected. Here's why. Keeping your windows down when driving allows air to enter your vehicle, creating a lag that will actually put more strain on the engine, thus hurting your MPGs.
THE UGLY
Never buy hangers again. Just save the ones you get from the dry cleaners.
Okay, here's the problem with this one. First off, these "free" hangers are normally the flimsy wire type; the kind that pull on your sweaters. Secondly, do you really think the hangers are "free?" The owner of the cleaners builds that cost into what he/she charges you. We suggest you return hangers to your cleaners. This could help keep down prices. Being a hanger hog means more have to be produced, therefore hurting the planet.

I would have never thought about that with the hangers but you are right. For every action there is a reaction.
Thanks again.
