My dad’s pet peeve was never shake someone’s hand while sitting down. Can’t say that I’ve ever done it, either.

And a tire changing trick - if the lug nut is too tight, adjust the wrench until its somewhat parallel to the ground and stand on it.


Always carry a cheater bar. If you are at home and have a floor jack the second half of the handle works great, of course, if you are a real man you have an impact wrench on hand and a half-inch torque wrench to ensure the lug nuts are at the right torque spec.

Also be careful with the stand and bounce trick on a lock nut they will break off the keyed top and your gonna have a bad day hammering on a socket to get enough purchase to get the broken nut off.

Isn't that the thing where you pay the taxes up front? Never really understood why you'd want to do that.
after tax money that grows tax free. Maybe the most accidental or advantageous vehicle ever created by government. Likely won’t last.

-"Yes, sir." "No, sir."

-"Yes, ma'am." "No, ma'am."

-Know your deadlines. Bills, assignments, meetings, tests, garbage day, vehicle registrations, driver's license, passport, oil changes, whatever. Each one is a like a time bomb waiting for you to forget at the wrong time.

-Save 1/4 to 1/3 of every paycheck.

-You aren't expected to be able to build a house, but you should be able to use basic tools to complete minor household repairs.

-Don't be the loudmouth in the room. They're always the ones compensating for something.

-Find a girl that makes you a better, smarter, and more humble human being. Do the same in return.

-People who lie once to you can--and will--lie again.

-You'll have more success approaching a girl in real life than social media.

-When your parents call you, fricking answer them. Even if it's just to say you're busy and will call them back.

-Call them back.

-Keep your car clean.

-Don't be the last house on the block to retrieve the trash cans.

-Don't be that guy who is always late.

-Don't slouch. Your terrible hunchback posture is unattractive, makes you appear shorter, and will even add injury to insult.

-Don't let yourself go during marriage. Hold your wife to that same standard.

-How to tie multiple knots.

-How to use a hitch.

-The bottom of the steering wheel is where the trailer goes when you're reversing.

-Be aware of your surroundings.

-If you get pulled over: roll the windows down, turn the interior lights on, keep your hands on the steering wheel, be polite, follow instructions, and just maybe--you'll be let off with a warning.

-Try to get your moving violation tickets changed to non-moving violations at court. If you can't book a court date, it might be worth it to pay a lawyer. Do NOT let there be points on your record--you'll pay when it comes to auto insurance.

-Know your credit score and keep it above 700. It's not hard if you don't miss payments.

-Not everyone needs to go to a four year college to make a good living.

-To avoid cross threading, slowly and gently turn a screw/nut/bolt counterclockwise until you feel a click, then turn clockwise.

-The first offer isn't always the best

-When it comes to buying or selling a car, the person with these 2 out of 3 items is in control of the transaction: the car, title, or money.

Last time I went to Europe and had to rent a car, I got a discount on the daily rate by driving a standard.

The guy asked me a few times, “you are American and you are sure you know how to drive a car with a clutch?”

Because they did not have anything on the lot in my reserved level, he had to upgrade me two levels to an Audi A5 with a clutch.

So, I would not say there is “zero value” in the skill.

Things Every Man Should Know


Your word is everything.
Punctuality
If you are not smart, or do not want to study, you better be willing to work hard.
How to do basic maintenance.
Your kids are the best reflection of yourself.
Firearms safety / marksmanship.
Fighting hurts no matter if you win or you lose. But even if you lose...there is no reason to go get a gun.
Yes, drive a stick.
And per my old man: have a son/grow a tree/build a boat. I have yet to grow a tree.
