The most useless advice ever given to you.

[person427]

I never realized that when my parents said "don't talk to strangers" they only meant adults. No wonder I never made any friends...
While skiing:
Other person- "Let's go this way"
me- "I don't think that's a real trail"
other person- "It looks safe"
me- "if you guys want to go that way, go and I'll meet you at the bottom"
my dad-"no, stay with the group"
About halfway down the slope we see a bunch of branches on the middle of the "trail". Of course, I was the one who hurt my leg.

For me:
I once connected to electrical wires the wrong way, got electrocuted and saw a friend saying "Watch out you don't do them the wrong way in." while his back was turned(while still being electrocuted). Gee, thanks.

So, what's your story about the most useless given advice ever given to you?

Electrocution is death. Sorry about being pedantic but it irritates me.

Electrocution isn't lethal under 80 volts(I got 75 volts on me) I get your point though, I too realise it sounds that I survived 240 volts or so XD

No, I mean the definition of electrocution is death by electric shock. You're wrong.

Whoops. Stupid brain of me. By the way it's 11 PM here

"Just take up a sport, and start eating healthy, you will clense your body of toxins and immediatly feel better!"

My aunt, when she learned i was depressed.

That's not bad advice. Inertia fosters depression.

try kicking it.

That would have been good advice, if the gorilla had actually been dead, not asleep.

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Leave the gun, take the cannoli

That is probably the best advice ever.

When people tell me to just calm down, or let it go, or don't respond, in the middle of an arguement. It makes me so mad

Younger brother sells my N64 for drugs, parents say "just ignore him". Well fuck that!

Don't worry folks, I got him good.

How so? Did you beat his face in with a tire iron? That sounds like a reasonable punishment for selling one's N64 for drugs.

OT: "Just tell the teacher, and they'll stop bothering you"

Hasn't worked yet in the 10 years I've been getting bullied.

Nah, if I did that then I would be as bad as him. He owed me the exact amount of money I spent on it back then. Meaning I made a lot of money because I spent about 300$ then but just recently I bought another for 40$ and most of the legendary games for 5$ each.

"Just quit it."

Like it's always that easy.

"When in doubt, just piss yourself!" I was then given a smile and a thumbs up, and pushed into the cage.

in l4d when a tank was right infront of me they said run or you will get sent flying.

When I'm angry, and my teacher shushes me and tells me to calm down. It's infuriating. I'm dead serious when I say I'd have killed her if there was a weapon in my hand at the time.

"Don't let the bullies get to ya. They'll eventually get bored after noticing ya don't care and leave ya alone. Oh and don't fight back, fighting is wrong" - every one of my gradeschool teachers and principles.

Just before a rugby match one of our players said 'Remember guys, if we don't win we'll lose!'. He was really serious too.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

Well a lot of people say not to use violence, as it won't solve anything. That is incredibly wrong, think about it, somones pissing you off, you punch them in the face and break their nose. They wont be too enthusiastic on continuing to pester you.

And in the extremist point of veiw, they certainly wont bother you if you kill them.

"Bad things happen when you least expect, so expect them at all times and nothing bad will ever happen."

Kinda useless because it's extremely difficult to keep a constant level of expectation going at all times
