Life Hacks And Important Tricks Companies Don't Want You To Know (22 pics)

#1 - most garbage disposals that this trick works on even have the allen wrench in the box when you buy them. If the disposal has a hole on the bottom of the housing, your're in luck. Otherwise, use the broom-handle-through-the-top-and-twist method.

#20 - if you owe back taxes, don't call one of those companies that promises to get you off the hook for a fraction of what you owe. Fill out and submit one form, IRS 433-A, I think, and submit it to make an "offer in compromise." You will get the same deal the go-between company would have gotten, without having to pay their fee on top of it. Plus, you can quite often work out a payment plan with the IRS that will split the offer into 24 monthly payments. It still sucks, but beats having your property sold out from under you or paying a confiscatory fee for something you could do yourself.
