Insiders Share The “Open Secrets” And Tricks Of Their Jobs That Most People Don’t Know About

21.

Firefighter – Not even close to as dangerous as public opinion (or some firefighters) would lead you to believe. 95% of our calls are for medical assists. For pretty minor things. At f—king 3 in the morning.—u/KingOfTheP4s

22.

Unemployment keeps your brain locked on the suicide channel almost constantly. Being unemployed is not a happy, enviable vacation of lounging around and enjoying your freedom; it is more like gears turning and grinding closer to your ears, closer to f—king crushing you with worry, resentment, and self-loathing, every single day.—u/IncipientMonorail

23.

I work in catering. We give people decaf during late night events under the guise of regular coffee in the hopes they leave sooner—u/d_a_n_a

24.

I was an aviation electrician for ten years. All it takes to cause a catastrophic failure in an aircraft is a piece of debris smaller than a penny. There’s a reason that people from the aviation industry tend to be absolutely anal retentive when it comes to tools and machine cleanliness.—u/TeJaytheMad

25.

I spent a lot of time working for Pizza Hut. The Stuffed Crust Pizza is just string cheese tucked into the regular pizza crust and sealed shut. I don’t know, not really an industry secret but I blew a lot of people’s minds with that when I worked there.—u/Ghostronic

26.

Psychologist – some children’s names are almost diagnostic they occur so commonly in certain kids and teens with certain problems. For example – Brandon is typically a name we see in severe conduct problems—u/Sunnydata

27.

I’m a professional poker player – All these guys you see on TV winning and gambling for exorbitant amounts of money, it’s mostly fake. People who win tons of money in tournaments have sold a large percentage of their buy-in to others and they receive no where near the full amount of the win.—u/Robbyrobbb

28.

I’m a chemist with a biochemistry background. This isn’t exactly related to my career, but a gluten free diet does absolutely nothing for you unless you have celiac disease/gluten allergy. The only reason people on a gluten free diet see any benefit is because they are usually eating healthy regardless of whether or not they consume gluten.—u/unDEADserving

29.

Gaff tape fixes everything. Electrical tape and Duct tape just have more exposure.—u/openletter8

30.

Your pharmacy has probably given you at least one pill that landed on the floor.—u/krystann
