What trivial knowledge might save your life one day?

 

  1. If your house smells like fish for absolutely no reason, 9 times out of 10 it means that there is an electrical fire.
  2. If you ever feel like someone is following your car take four right turns and eventually it will make a circle. If they are still behind you that means they are following you. Don’t drive home, just call the police and drive to the police station
  3. If a service dog ever approaches you without its owner, follow them and do it quickly because potentially you can save someone else’s life.
  4. If someone is trying to abduct you, fight back. Most abductors will just give up if they meet resistance. And whatever you do, don’t let them take you to another location.
  5. If the tide suddenly goes out unexpectedly, run like you stole it, for higher ground.
  6. If you’re ever charged by a moose, get behind a tree.. they have about a ten inch blind spot and they’ll lose you..
  7. When people say to take an aspirin to help during a heart attack, chew the pill, don't swallow it whole. It gets absorbed much quicker.
  8. If a person asks you for something in the street - a light, the time, whatever - always keep the person in your eyeline. So if they ask for the time, don't just look down at your watch. Raise your arm slightly so your watch is in sight.
  9. If you are in danger or in need of help, in a public place, it's almost always a bad idea to just yell "help". It's more important to be specific. Pointing at someone and telling them to call 911 will be more effective. The Bystander Effect can be cruel sometimes.
