Software Customer

Hire a company to write software for you.  Then don't respond to emails, phone calls, or show up to meetings.  Then when the project runs long proceed to blame them for all the shortcomings.   As long as your position is high enough in your company no one will question that it is the contractor's fault.

Leaning Back

Wear multiple hats (most particularly cowboy hats) stacked on top of each other when flying on an airplane.  Anyone who is on a cross country or overseas flight will not want to sit behind you.  This way you can lean your chair back without getting kicked constantly, prepare for a nice peaceful sleep.

Arriving early

Always tell people it will take you 30 minutes longer to get somewhere than it actually takes. This way you are always early and look punctual, when you do run late you will look perfectly on time.

I don't know if all the airlines flying to st louis do this on purpose, but they are very reliably 30 minutes early.

More flight room

When flying on an open seating airline like southwest, bring a bunch of items a baby would need on a flight. Things like a stuffed animal, a small blanket, etc. Place them out on the seat next to you no one will want to sit there and you can have extra space.

Running a cab company

Start a cab company.  When you pick up people with foreign accents automatically take them to the wrong location and then just say that you misheard them.  Then deliver them to the correct location and still charge the full total.

This one brought to you in part by the shady cab system in London.

Flight hacks

When flying always carry a set of earbuds even if you don't have an mp3 player. That way if you really don't want to talk to the person next to you, you can just put them in.  They will either think you are listening to music or crazy enough that they shouldn't speak with you.

Credit Card Companies

Create a credit card company specifically designed to appeal to traveling customers.  Then lock down accounts when people leave the state or country where they reside.  Have your help center designed to immediately unlock the card so that you can claim a very high percentage of successful help center calls.

Thank you very much traveling credit card.  I'm glad I got you in the first place.
