Jimmy Fallon, the host of The Tonight Show, is making waves on Twitter again, this time by asking his followers to Tweet out the funniest, weirdest, or plain worst advice they ever received.
Jimmy started it off with this one: "I used horse shampoo because I was told it would make my hair shinier but it turns out it's just for horses. #Badvice." Other tweeters jumped right in by pouring their wisdom on Twitter as well, so Bored Panda has gathered the best/worst of it right here for you to study from.
Have yours to add? Then share the worst advice you've ever received and don't forget to hashtag it #badvice.

10 minutes? he could have WALKED up the stairs dozens of times by then.
I've asked people to clap to turn on the lamp next to them.... funniest thing, they keep clapping and clapping... sometimes 3 or 4 times! Yep, people are gullible :)
Elevator is the lift, escalator is the set of moving stairs...

Just in case you don't know, put a little bit of "the green thing" into a separate small plate kinda thing, add soy sauce and mix them together. Then dip your sushi in it a little (not too much, it's too salty), and that is how we eat it in east Asia. Well, in Korea, at least. And indeed it tastes good.
The first time I ever ate sushi I just tried it alone not knowing it was anything really... oops
Yes, I have done this, and I still feel bad. Sorry random person on Beale Street, Memphis May 3rd 1999.
Load More Replies...At least you didn't do it on purpose. I'm still convinced some a*s about 4 years ago gave me wrong directions cause it was funny to him...
I felt really good about helping out an immigrent with directions, only to realize a few minutes later that I had sent him 1.5 kms in the wrong direction when the place he wanted to go was 50m away.
Nobody will mess with you... till your in jail. Then you will be messed with very often.
Nobody will mess with you in school then because you'd be in hospital...
I was told once as a kid that banana peals were poisonous and over ripe bananas would kill you.
Reminds me of that episode of "the Office" when Erin throws her disposable camera away after saying "its convenient to use these cameras, but it sucks you never get to see the pictures"
The binman sends them to your email. They're trained like that.
Load More Replies...That's excellent advice. Figured that one out myself when I was 8.
Interesting. I thought it was rude not opening it right away, in front of the one who gave you that present. Unless it's Christmas, of course, and it was a present given under the tree.
In India it's the opposite. People tend to not open presents in front of the people who gave them.
Load More Replies...yes but one of the ingredients in vodka is potatoes and potatoes are good for you when you have a virus because they're easy to digest so it isn't ALL bad advice
My grandma used to say Blackberry brandy would do the trick. She was half right; it made me vomit!
Actually one shot of clear vodka does settle your stomach. Certainly not the whole bottle;p
Better advice → cough loudly while releasing it, to cover the sound. It's kind of a lottery, though... If it smells, people will assume your mouth has problems...
Or sneeze loudly to cover up the fart noise
Load More Replies...They don't, but some sub-species of bumblebees have more reflective eyes than others, meaning that they might sometimes appear bluish.
Load More Replies...Actually bumblebees rarely sting at all, they do have a stinger but are the least aggressive among the wasps and bees.
Lol. That is almost right! I don't use anything I learned in school these days.
You're reading and writing, right? You learned that in school.
Load More Replies...thats actually good advice.... your still hurt when you wake up but you get the jist
Who would be so stupid as to suggest building a wall on the Mexican border!?
Now, just as an experiment, replace the word 'Muslims' by 'Jews' and see how scary your way of thinking is.
This was a reply to the idiot who commented about Muslims.
Load More Replies...no it didn't, the great Hun (Mongolian) invasion was not stopped by the wall (not even a bit)
Load More Replies...i think that only works when you dont eat much.. happens to me all the time
Actually as warm as you can take it oil. Drowns the bug and helps it just slide out easier
Scary thing, urine used to be a major component of many home remedies. Ahh the good old days.
Maybe sge told mom she wanted to look like barbie and mom thought it was absurd and gave this advice instead. Doubt that mom actually thought this.
Load More Replies...Oh, I think your mom confused deodorant with parfume. I read somewhere it's best to apply a tiny littlw bit of parfume at your blood pulse spots, or something like that. Which included the elbow and knee pits. (NOT armpits, though...)
or she was f*****g with the person like most moms would do
Load More Replies...That actually works you probably put the spray to close to your face
Disgustingly ingenious. I will never eat at your house. I mean that in the nicest way
Load More Replies...I honestly do remember getting this advice in a health class. You were supposed to wash it inside it and let it dry. Somehow I didn't believe them.....
How are you going to go running to her with both of your legs broken?
It honestly just depends on what brand you use, some brands work on people and some don't
My mom told me that when I was in first grade...Unlucky for her, I had just watched some kind of edutainment video about weather.
I quite literally laughed out loud at this one. For some reason I thought of Gopher from Winnie the Pooh
the purpose is so that everyone will inhale to try to detect to popcorn, but will smell fart instead.
Load More Replies...Honesty vs societal standards. Your mom isn't wrong. People just expect you to stay quiet.
cause the only way to fight an asthma attack is to breathe deep and heavily, So she was taking in a lot of water instead of holding her breath, Technically she could have got that coach fired for that, he could have killed her
Load More Replies...That's sports for you. I once saw a coach tell a kid who'd hurt his ankle to "walk it off". His ankle turned out to be badly sprained. Ridiculous mindset.
My dad (bless his soul) told us this in an effort to not keep the door open too long. "Die yskas mannetjie gaan uitval!."
It's possible to work this. Mail an empty box to yourself with no return address. Write in big letters "Refused" on it. Put your stash inside and reseal it. While it will no doubt be searched, you can simply say you didn't know what it was, never opened it because there was no sender info, and were planning on dropping it at the post.
i already mistaked powder sugar with flour... my tuna casserole tasted like c**p
Ummm, I've never heard of tuna casserole with either of those ingredients.
Load More Replies...well... its kinda true, if you ingest enough of a certain type of poison you can become immune to it
I think the idea behind the "Pee on pimples" in these post is because urine is acidic and can dry up the oils that pimples are caused by
there have been so many like this already, I just really hope they are kidding. otherwise... I always thought people had to get a license before driving. stuff like that shouldn't happen if you actually get informed before getting behind the wheel. I feel bad for humanity.
I did this once. He did not think it was funny. Turned out the professor was Jewish.
My older bro accidentally touched the metal part of our oven. Ended up with 3rd degree burns
To be fair I thought this with coke a cola till I was 22 but after a trip to the Dr..... It just turned out life pulled a sad joke on me and i was just impotent =p
The first time I had my hair bleached - BY a competent Hairdresser, it went bright marigold (orange!) - the 3 of us - me, my mother, and the Hairdresser just stared at my bright orange hair in both horror and amazement - It took nearly a whole bottle of blue "toner" to get it to the "platinum" it was supposed to have turned out... I was 16....
"Competent" hairdresser would have tested first
Load More Replies...my granny told me this when I was 2, then would feed me melons when she saw me, for about 3 years till my mom told me the truth
. A tradesman in U.S. can almost write his own ticket. 2yr trade school. More income than most lawyers. And much less on student debt.
The worst advice ever is probably "get out of your comfort zone and put yourself out there".
