It's about that time again. Post only bad advice.
Edited on Fri Dec-17-10 01:19 PM by BlueIris
What is this, our third Bad Advice thread in as many years? Fun.

My bad advice for this December morn:

Who needs to read warning labels? You've got something to stuff in your mouth.

Drunk text the ex once in a while. Keeps 'em filled in.

Porcupines make great gifts.

And my favorite: talk back to cops. Ask to see their IDs.

1. Always say "FUCK OFF, DICKHEAD" when a cop pulls you over and comes up to your window.
That really wins them over.

14. I like this one a lot!
It really hits home with me. My ex girlfriend who ran off to stay with her ex-husband in his single-wide trailer, recently contacted me crying the blues about how much she misses me and I was the best thing wadda wadda wadda.....

Tell it to that stump you ran off to repeat bad history with.

56. Get all your medical advice online.
Wolverines, honey badgers and Tasmanian devils make perfect pets for the children. Well, at least they learn how to defend themselves, the kids I mean.

Never unplug electrics when repairing or adjusting them. Saves time.

Nag your SO at minimum once a day. S/he appreciates the attention.

58. Make lots of plans that involve flights from Heathrow or Gatwick just before Christmas
Edited on Sun Dec-19-10 07:04 PM by LeftishBrit
Then if it snows you can have the thrill of camping out at the airport, as your flight is cancelled and you wait hopelessly for one that might be available. Why British transport always folds up when there's snow is a mystery; Scandinavia or Canada would be paralyzed for half the year if they were the same.
