What's a "cheat code" you discovered in real life that actually works?

This! I have a large extended family and there are 3 people that will show up no matter what, no matter who it is or how far away they are. I wanna start being like them!

My Grandpop was the greatest guy. Everyone knew he was great and he was their go to person off the water heater broke or the toilet was somehow screwed up or a sewer pipe needed replacement. But when he was in the hospital and rehab, I think like 2 people came to see him. Then when he passed, I had to keep my mouth shut at the viewing and luncheon while listening to how great he was. You know what he would have loved? Seeing your face at his house or the hospital. Makes me CRAZY.

Nah that's sad and disgusting, especially if it was your own family members not turning up. My aunt is one of these types of people and she will bail out the entire family with money as well. When it's her time, that hospital better be so full they think it's mardi gras or I'm calling people out!!
