what's the worst advice you ever got, or...

My kid: Here. Put your beer down and throw this big bottle rocket.
Me: Ah-ight.

 

Worst advice that I followed- "Never go to bed angry." Screw that, I won't force an arbitrary and possibly inequitable resolution to satisfy some old wife's tale. Are you mad at me? Good. We'll figure it out later, but I gotta get some sleep.

Best advice I never followed- "Sleep on it." I am an obsessive and compulsive buyer of junk. Well, it wasn't junk when I bought, but it turned out to be junk once it got to my place. My garage has magic powers to enlighten me to what I should have seen pre-cash offering. Oh well.

 

That's easy as it happened last weekend. Go down to the hardware store b/c I got a clogged toilet. Guy says "you need Liquid Fire."

Here's some good advice: don't use Liquid Fire.

 

Isn't "Liquid Fire" what comes after the #4 Burrito, Enchilada Special, clogging the toilet in the first place?

 

C'mon, what happened?

Edit: could you send the short version to metalhead and have him ghost write it.

 

"Lets drink Miller Lite. No hangover and you'll feel like a champ in the morning."

Couple of cases later...I was ruined well into the next day...

 

That would be better, but here's the short version:

Grind, polish, and seal on the marble floor that was etched by the sulfuric acid in the ensuing toxic sewage overflow: $450.

Plumber to come unclog toilet: $107

New ceiling for kitchen (which the toxic sewage overflow dripped through after reaching the hole for the tub plumbing: $900

Distinctly remembering saying "f@ck it" before flushing the toilet (to help it along): priceless

Like my Dad always say, there ain't no bottom to dumb. I just always thought he was talking about other people.

 

Worst- We're out of beer, we should drink this old box of Franzia I have in the fridge.

Best- The enemy of better is best.

 

Dad: If you are going to be dumb, you had better toughen up!

Dad: Never loan money to a friend( I didn't listen)

Dad: Never let someone borrow anything you can not afford to give away.

 

My father always said the same. I learned the hard way... He was right.

 

I think we have all learned that lesson at one time or another
