Not necessarily the worst, but some advice can just be... odd.

I was like 14, and this random old lady came up to me and started giving me heaps of life advice. She said to travel a lot before you got married, because once you're married you won't have freedom again. And don't waste your lives, dearies. Marry late. Travel now. When she left, we all laughed. Now in my late teens, and I think she had it right. I'm planning to travel.

    "Follow only the methods prescribed in boom to get correct answers always" —middle school Maths teacher Now, after studying ancient Egyptian maths shortcuts, Vedic maths and some Chinese maths, I think I've got like a hundred reasons to prove that teacher wrong.

    I heard this right before homecoming… “Don’t do drugs, and don’t add or subtract from the population.” It’s valid advice, but I never planned on doing this stuff anyway, and the way he said it just struck me as weird.

    I think he oddly meant don't have kids and don't kill anyone.

    Never pee into the wind. It's not often that I'm peeing in a windy field, but if I ever do, I'll keep this in mind.

    If I wanna date someone then I should wait at least two years for them to make the first move and do absolutely nothing. This is literally the opposite of what I do and it worked for the person giving advice so ouch

    Never listen to the dating advice of a basement rat. It's always sad.

    "If you ignore bullies, they'll stop bullying you." It does absolutely nothing

    I think this is actually dependent on the bully. Some people bully others to get a reaction, if they see they can't get to you then they will more than likely leave you alone. I've done this a few times, it's worked.

    When faced with overwhelming temptation, imagine yourself dead in a coffin. It calms excited nerves and helps you gain control of yourself.
