What's a useless fact that only people in your line of work care about?

For example: If you purchase credits on Copyscape, they last for up to an entire year before they go invalid!

The average person has just as much access to tax information as any tax accountant. IRS.gov
Most people, unfortunately, don't understand the tax code and refuse to use the site to do their taxes.

Not so much that only my line of work cares but more like people outside my line of work are to lazy to learn this fact.

In Arizona, your public maintained roadways are NOT funded by your property taxes, they are funded by a small user tax attached to every gallon of gasoline sold statewide.

The combination to the vault.... well, hopefully

I don't think there are any "useless" facts.

Ummm.... The dissolution of limestone actually sequesters CO2 from the atmosphere. So... GO CAVES!

You can only keep £140 worth of 10 and 20 pound notes in the till at any time. 5 pound notes are fair game though. SEL's have to be kept to the left of the product and not obscure in any way. Cigarettes must be covered up when being transported across the shop floor to the gantry, you can be fined and prosecuted for not doing this.

A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

I'm pretty sure that's true of every state, or at least most states.

Sounds like General Motors. They are in hot water at the moment.

I'm pretty sure my property taxes, when I had property taxes in Missouri, I don't here in MS, were broken down into different areas. They actually show this on your yearly tax statement for Missouri. A large portion went to schools but another chunk was definitely designated as road maintenance.

Nobody got the double Fight Club reference?

What Fight Club reference? I was genuinely asking which company you work for.
