What’s the worst piece of advice you’ve ever been given?

"Go to college, you'll always be able to find a good job." My BA in English qualified me for a career in restaurants and retail. But it did keep me from getting drafted and certain death in Vietnam.

@hunkalove
I hear that having bone spurs in your knees would have enabled you to avoid getting drafted into the Vietnam war. You should have played that card!

To get back with my abusive ex

@SW-User no way, never. I'm done with sociopaths for good now.

Oh gawd all the stupid love and dating advice. I usually ignore people's cliche crap but when it came to relationships I never had a good example and I was a late bloomer. Now I feel like I wasted so much time wondering and hoping when truth is, not everyone is meant to be loved.

@SW-User It has its pros and cons lol I think we’re all well aware of them at this point

"You can't refuse when a Greek Nanna offers you food, they'll take it as a great insult."
@Thevy29 This is life tho!
Spectra · 26-30, F
@Thevy29 Lol they aren’t wrong about that second part but you still have the right to refuse. If someone takes it as an insult that’s their problem not yours 😂
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
@Spectra I'll give you an example of what this Nanna was like. Imagine, Its Easter. She makes Marshmallow rabbits the size of actual rabbits. And she's not happy until you've eaten 3 of them! And when mum came to collect us she gave us more to take home... To this day I cannot even look at a marshmallow. 🤢

Don’t go to college it’s not going to benefit you… I was told that and that was so FAR from the truth it’s unbelievable
gfantasy · 56-60, M
When I was 13 or 14, I was told that if I liked a girl, I should go to her and tell her so.

She just laughed at me 🤡🤦‍♂️😐

"Don't adjust your goals, just work harder " 🙄
Spectra · 26-30, F
@GuiltyBiStander Sometimes goals should be adjusted depending on the situation. Nothing wrong with taking things back to the drawing board

Go on date her what’s the worst that can happen…..

Queue me dating an out of control psycho. I had more trips to police station than ever before. She would get into fights, get arrested, or we could be out and some girl would say something to me and she would try and hit her, or just random things. I admit to having the odd mental health issue, we all do really, i have also dated girls with the same, however this was the first (and hopefully the last) time I dated someone capable of actual violence with someone for very random things.

Trust noone.
Or
Put faith in people.

There has to be a middle ground. Use discernment.
Spectra · 26-30, F
@GuyWithOpinions Right! Trust varies from person to person and situation to situation.

Sniffer dogs won't find a dead body if you bury it with dog food 🤔
Spectra · 26-30, F
@SW-User Seems counterintuitive

Almost all the work related advises I have received are bad.
Applepiedom · 56-60, M
Don't say anything she's out of your league
mindless · M
don't pursue it, it will happen

yeah right
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
You just keep doing what you’ve been doing.

This said while being disrespected by someone and being harassed by them at work.
Spectra · 26-30, F
@Muthafukajones Well here’s my opinion. If someone’s disrespecting me or whatever in my personal life fine I can choose to avoid them ignore them etc. But if it’s at work, a place where I’m trying to make money and have no choice but to be around them then no I shouldn’t be forced to deal with their bullshit not should anyone else, Either discipline them or fire them or someone’s getting taken to court.
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
@Spectra I wish it was that simple
paddleherass · 51-55, M
