There's quite an easy solution to using a Groupon without compromising your experience: don't disclose that you're using it until you're completely served. I strive to hand it to the server during the final bus, so that

Valid concern: it means every possible application of a car battery, if the $300 fee is to be avoided, must involve purchasing a product that already contains a battery. Bad news for DIY makers that need one: they'd need to find a cont

Plenty of times I've come back to my computer, typed my OS password expecting that it was locked, waited for my display's turn-on lag, and found that it wasn't locked (grace period). I type the password blind, but reserve the
