What's a Cheat Code you discovered in real life that works?
Discussion
Here’s mine:
Tell a woman you’re going to take her for food (favourite food) and she has to guess where. The place for food suggested easy. You know what she wants and she thinks it’s your idea!
Here’s one I’ve heard of but not done:
Go straight to the supermarket self checkout, pick up a receipt left behind. Go shopping for whatever is on the receipt!

When buying something in WH Smith that you're embarrassed to be seen with, buy a birthday card at the same time.
If the doorbell rings unexpectedly put a coat on before opening the door. Then if it's someone you don't want to talk to you can claim you are just going out.
If someone says 'What's the latest score mate?' when you have no idea of the score or even who is playing, just say 'as far as I know it's still nil nil' and they'll go away quite happy.
If someone is giving you a long complicated explanation and use the word obviously as in 'obviously this is caused by a glitch in the buzzword generator' just say 'Obviously?'. They'll think you are fully following the explanation even if you don't understand a word of it. If they do realise there is an alternative explanation they'll think you are the one that spotted it.

Exactly what I was thinking reading these. Although not a cheat code, being incredibly good looking is like playing life on easy mode. Everybody is nice to you, you get better service in shops and restaurants, people are more likely to hire you and pay you more as they perceive good looks with success. etc. I used to know someone who had been approached to go on the Australian version of the bachelor, and going out for an evening with him was certainly an eye opener. We were just sitting down in a bar talking, and some very attractive lady just sat down next to him and started talking to him. To him it was a bit of an inconvenience, whilst I was thinking "that has never happened to me". As we were walking down the road to the next bar we passed a another very attractive lady who he knew and said hello to.
It was a view to a world that I never knew existed.
Being an ugly man is playing life on extreme difficulty mode.

They are good ones that I might have to use! If someone says 'What's the latest score mate?' when you have no idea of the score or even who is playing, just say 'as far as I know it's still nil nil' and they'll go away quite happy.

I didn t think he was suggesting shoplifting, I thought he was suggesting, as you had forgotten your shopping list, that you used someone else s.
Or am I just innocent?
It's not one that I would ever use but a known cheat code that I've heard being done.Or am I just innocent?
There's so many people who don't collect their receipts from self service even if they press the button for one.
The security guy isn't going to look at the time as he would see that you have a receipt and cross check a few items.
Like I said, it's not one I would ever try!

In that case try this cheat code, when an attractive woman won't sleep with you ask her to smell this cloth (instructions to follow in DM) once incapacitated she'll no longer be able to look at you with disgust.If you arrive at Farringdon on the Elizabeth Line, and you're heading for Kings Cross St Pancras, you need to get the Metropolitan or Circle line westbound 1 stop. The official signage will take you on a long walk to the escalators, then up the 2 escalators, out thru the barrier, leave the station, cross Cowcross St, enter old station, thru barriers, down stairs to westbound platform.
Or, get the lift from the Elizabeth line and go up just 1 level. That brings you out on Eastbound Thameslink platform. Turn right, and in about 25m is about 4 steps up onto the westbound Met / circle line platform. Saves about 7 minutes of walking, barriers, etc.
