THE BEST TIME

THE BEST TIME TO TAKE A FLIGHT IS ON SATURDAY AT NOON:

Have you ever wondered what time of day the DMV is the least busy? Or which day of the week your boss is most likely to give you a raise?

Well, a guy named Mark Di Vincenzo did research to find the answer to questions just like that, and he wrote a book about it called "Buy Ketchup in May and Fly at Noon". Listen to this . . .

#1.) The best time to go to the DMV is in the middle of the month, the middle of the week, and either mid-morning or mid-afternoon. The logic is that at the beginning or end of the day, week or month, people are rushing to beat expiration dates.

#2.) The best time to get an OIL CHANGE is just before they close. Why? Earlier in the day, workers are more likely to recommend repairs and replacement parts you don't need. But at the end of the day, they'll just change your oil and send you on your way.

#3.) The best time to get a PRESCRIPTION FILLED is between 10:00 A.M. and noon. That way, you'll avoid the morning, lunch and afternoon rush crowds.

#4.) The best time to go to the POST OFFICE is about 30 minutes after it opens. That way, you'll just miss the morning rush, but you'll beat the lunch and afternoon rushes.

#5.) The best time to FLY is at noon on a Saturday. That's when there are the fewest number of flights, so planes are more likely to be on time.

#6.) The best day of the week to EAT OUT is Tuesday. Why? Relatively few people eat out on Tuesday. More importantly, restaurants tend to get food deliveries on Tuesday, so that's when their food will be its freshest.

#7.) And the best day to ASK FOR A RAISE is Friday. In general, bosses are more open to negotiation at the end of the week because they want to sail into the weekend without a lot of conflict. Meanwhile, the worst day to ask for a raise is Wednesday. (Wallet Pop)
