- Pay Less For Best Quality Deli Cheese -
At your local supermarket order a pound of the most expensive brand name American cheese. When the deli clerk weighs it up, politely say that you asked for the store brand. The clerk will be too lazy to slice a new pound, and will sell you the better cheese at the lower price.

Deliberately lose your shitty Nokia brick phone and ask that the service be cancelled before it gets "stolen", then buy a Samsung camera phone with a full keyboard.

That shit is so old that he is doing a favor by taking the heavy behemoth away. For fuck's sake, I have thrown at least a dozen of those things away at this point and I can barely get rid of them.

Is that an exaggeration or did you actually own a dozen of them?

On another note, is it just me, or does it seem that all the "codes" here regard save money on something or gaining an item?

If you have a soda vending machine that has the conveyor belt that moves up and down to the row with the soda, and then the soda pops out and the conveyor moves it over to the drop slot, you can do this:

Put money in. Reach inside the drop slot and you will feel a flap like door, that opens when the soda comes out. Hold the door closed with your hand. Choose a number for a soda. The machine will lift the conveyor belt to get the soda, the soda will pop out onto the conveyor belt and then try to go to the dropslot. If you hold the door closed, after a few seconds, the machine will give up and refund you your money, thinking that the slot you chose was empty.

Put you money back in, and choose a different slot number. Let the machine work normally. When the conveyor get the soda both sodas will be on the belt and will both come through the drop slot.

Two sodas for the price of one!

-Access Secret Floor 13½ in Any 14 Story Building-
Enter the elevator at the ground floor. Using the buttons that you press to indicate which floor you want to travel to, enter the FibonacciSequence up to and including 13. The elevator will take you directly to floor 13½, where you should find either treasure or quest items.

You know what that totally reminds me of? "E is for Elevator People" from Harlan Ellison's short story From A to Z in the Chocolate Alphabet

E is for ELEVATOR PEOPLE

They never speak, and they cannot meet your gaze. There are five hundred buildings in the United States whose elevators go deeper than the basement. When you have pressed the basement button and reached the bottom, you must press the basement button twice more. The elevator doors will close and you will hear the sound of special relays being thrown, and the elevator will descend. Into the caverns. Chance has not looked favorably on occasional voyagers in those five hundred cages. They have pressed the wrong button, too many times. They have been seized by those who shuffle through the caverns, and they have been . . . treated. Now they ride the cages. They never speak, and they cannot meet your gaze. They stare up at the numbers as they light and then go off, riding up and
down even after night has fallen. Their clothes are clean. There is a special dry cleaner who does the work. Once you saw one of them, and her eyes were filled with screams.

London is a city filled with narrow, secure stairways.

...Less of a cheat code in this case, than a bug that results in an instant Game Over. brrrrrrrrr

- Fuck you to other people just waiting to stuff your elevator full of old people and kids -
After getting into an elevator, press the floor button you want to go and hold down the close door button. The elevator will then ignore all other requests.

Yes, yes, yes, and I currently focus on system deployment, CMS, and purchasing.

They all just seem like petty cons to me.

Isn't this why they are called CHEAT codes?

If you're driving, wave at someone who is walking on the street. They'll wave back, even if you don't know them.

Not really a cheat code, but it works.

Not really a cheat code, but it works.

Similarly, drive around on the highway with a camcorder aimed at random cars you pass. Everyone will do one of three things: wave, flip you off, or flash their tits.
