To give people 'the benefit of the doubt'. Screw that - The doubt is there for a reason.

This was on the edge of a cliff, right?

Being told to calm down because I was being uptight.

Turned out I wasn't being uptight, I was being sensible, and I shouldn't have given in just because the "uptight" comment embarrassed me. I did get an apology though.

By teachers: "Tell the truth, you won't get in trouble/honesty is the best policy" - They then give you lines or something.

Turn the other cheek and I did, I got battered, but it was a good lesson I never did again.

When I was in school i lost count of the times drop outs used to tell me to quit school and get onto the building sites. Luckily I ignored them.

never show any fear if a herd of cows run towards you - just stand there and wave you arms about.





No, just run like the clappers.

Buy shares in Eircom! (just before they were floated).

I didnt take the advice as every man and his dog scrambled to buy shares, it was obvious they'd be worth nothing, and whaddya know- they've never come up to the hyped up price since! :rolleyes:

If you build it they will come.

Surely advice should not be just taken in isolation but disseminated based on your own experiences and exposure to the situation in question.

Perhaps blaming the advice is the McGuffin for your crass stupidity and ignorance.

I love advice, I take it form all comers. I like to hear the perspectives that I simply cannot visualise myself. Do I blindly follow someone's advice? Do I fück. I live and die by every decision I make. No one will be responsible for a call I choose to make.

Maybe if people listened to advice as opposed to taking it they might make better decisions.

Buy a house-get on the property ladder while you're young blah blah blah.

You should always stand up to school bullies as you will find that they suffer with insecurity and doubt.

In my school that was total boll0cks, as I found they were raving psychopaths.

Thankfully 20 years on they are all dead from Junkie aids or something

(In 2005) "Don't let that one-acre site go for €100,000. It'll be worth three times that in two or three years' time."

Good job I didn't take that advice.:):):)

This can be bad (and dangerous) advice. In reality it rarely happens unfortunately.

reminds me of a scene in dazed and confused when nerdy character adam goldberg says i'll stand up to this bully, he'll back down if i challenge him etc

confronts the bully and gets head punched off him
