easy solutions to everyday problems

call a cab rather than a professional locksmith, when your lost your house keys.cab drivers charge $25. let dispatcher know your locked in, so the cabbie knows what to take. they arrive fast, unlike locksmiths.

if u lose your phone charger: ask a hotel clerk at the front desk or customer service counter, if u can borrow one from their lost & found boxes
