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.

One of my previous one tried to charge me for cobwebs. It was a farm house.
Well you couldn't have cleaned them otherwise you would have risked damaging the aesthetic.
Spiders work fast. They rebuild webs in a matter of hours. It's not a realistic demand.
Though at the time the amount they wanted was not worth the grief so I just moved on. But minor deposit frauds are extremely common and almost always unpunished. Landlords have essentially nothing to lose by trying it, certainly not morals.
Now I've heard it all. Cobwebs!!
Mine tried to charge me for the expanding foam an exterminator put in to fix a mouse infestation caused by the landlord's disregard for the building
