Watching my biopsy on the screen as they performed it,no anesthetic. It was horrible and painful. If I could actually reach the doctor that was doing it( that advised me to) I would have strangled him.

Kerosene gets rid of lice. Never ever did it. Feel sorry for the poor kids that went through that. Dangerous.

From a doctor: "if you loose X amount of weight, all your medical problems will go away!" I lost X amount of weight, my medical problems got worse!

Some tips fro horse racing!!!

People used to tell me to have kids, it's the best. I'm glad I didn't take their advice. Being a parent isn't for everyone!

All the pressure and advice that was put on me right as I was graduating school. I settled down into my career and life way too quickly in my early 20’s and by mid-late 20’s I was bored, burnt out and miserable. Wish I just enjoyed my youth for a little while.

I have autism and have been told (by a loved one no less) to "just mask, mask, mask so you fit in and no one knows". Very insulting and honestly a very harmful way for autistic people to have to live, luckily I didn't take much heed in it

When I’m feeling depressed over a loss of a loved one was to get over it 😭 they keep telling me to snap out of it

Brandy on my newborns lips to make them go to sleep - did not do it!!Edited 11-Aug-24 23:03pm

The worse advise I ever got was to work through my pain. Get paid good to hurt. A doctor told me to do this.Edited 11-Aug-24 21:52pm

Cabbage soup diet will aid in weightloss

When I was a kid - The Pineapple diet would make me lose weight! Anybody - Remember the Pineapple Diet of the mid to last 70's?

Don’t do anymore studies ( like going back to Uni) after 50.

Get another child after my third

Not to discharge myself and my newborn baby the day I gave birth. I was fine and baby was healthy... I just wanted to go home and sleep in my own bed! Was made to stay in an old, over crowded. really noisy birthing unit. Couldn't wait to leave! So we did,

When I was a was pregnant with my 5th child, a woman from my church told me I needed to not return to work after maternity lead because that would cause my husband to step up and get a better job to support our family. I tried her advice, and it didn't work so when my baby was 6 months old, I returned to my job.

Go for it what is the worst that can happen

Get married the first time, and shouldn't have listened to her sister.

Doctor (after doing an internal examination) informed me that I was not pregnant - second doctor clearly refuted that statement! (I definitely was)

CANNOT RECALL ANY

Marrié à nouveau

Buy crypto currency

Buy an Hillman Imp……..lol

I remember Best never Worst.

my father in law had cancer and was going to die all the nurses could do when family was around his bedside and nurses would come in and out of his room and all you could them saying , not long now ,only another 24 hours, No we think 48 then 36 they have a betting machine in front of him At the end their prediction was wrong because he was alive another week. its wa onlt time when God called him. That was the worst news i ever heard and received.

to use a financial planner he made more money for himself than us, gave him the flick

Call me if you need me.

I've done so many bad things I don't know which was the worst?

Anything and everything from the ex.

Go to University and you'll be set for life. The reality is I used what I learnt at University for about 4 of the past 45 years and ran up a massive bill in Post Grad Studies which have been completely useless to me from a work standpoint except for a 2 year stint in Germany.

Not being a Vet, I was keen but found secretarial studies a bit of a cop out.

I was told not to listen to my gut instincts, how wrong they were

My Advice was from Myself to me,don't get married or have a child 😆& there's nothing i've Missed Out On.That's my Style & loved It.😊

give up your dream of being a radio/TV technician......got all my qualifications and also amateur radio license...someone was wrong

My father said not to learn to drive as all pleasure would go out of driving in a car. Did not to drive until I was 19 have been driving for 63 years & I still like to be driven by someone else if possible.

Promise not to tell anyone especially when you are a child.

To get over a man get under a new one

Do not go on a blind date. My blind date changed my life. We are still together 57 years later.

Bit Coin is the way to future riches.

when I was getting married one of my friends offered me a one-way ticket to New Guinea plus 500 ,38 years later I would still be saying it was a bad offer,, I had a bit of a dispute about women's rights with my wife one day, I am an equal rights type of person somehow I ended up wearing a pair of her tights to a pub clean we were doing that night to prove a point, I didn't think it would be an issue but that night unbeknown to me the staff were staying back completing a stock take, not sure what point I was trying to make I know men shouldn't wear tights unless they are wearing a long shirt

Put your money into superannuation and watch it dwindle to nothing due to the admin fees. That was from a financial advisor with a bank. No we didn't, a bit smart to fall for that one Thank goodness. Sell out from Sydney and come to QLD (we wouldn't be together if that hadn't happened so kind of glad it did.) Sell out now and only get half of what the house is worth now. We couldn't live there and we are so much more happier where we are today.

Get a safe job, like the bank, or public service…

I don't have anymore kids.

Not to keep my baby .

Always wear clean underwear, you never know when you will be hit by a bus.

Went on a blind date

can't get pregnant the first time😂

stay with my abusive husband

we were taught and educated to work out our own problems. no one else can walk in your shoes so any advice you get is risky.

I have never had any so cant help with this one

The voices in my head kept advising me to die young and leave a pretty corpse!

I was told I was too young to marry at 18 years old and not to do it as it won't last. We have now been married for 49 years and they have been the best years of my life.

At Secondary School I was told to get a government job and you will be set for life. Because I was not that academic suitable and it was back in the 70's when learning was all about academically.

Don’t trail as a teacher or librarian in the 1980s My mother’s reasoning There were no teaching jobs ( found out later I could have used the degree for another job ….] She thought I was too noisy to be a librarian lol

Headmistress stated to new students in high school to "keep your sheets clean girls"

A Uni Professor told us many years ago to stop renting and saving money, borrow the absolute maximum amount that we could, and get into our own house. I didn’t agree with his advice. We rented a flat for two years, saved everything we could, borrowed the least amount we could, and after moving in to our house, kept saving and were mortgage free in 5 years. We’ve never looked back!

I was told that, as a woman, I had to be all things to all people.

Just fake it till you make it. I would say it is from those who don't understand the true meaning. I would never give that advice to anyone. If you do fake it you will become miserable, depressed, and so much more. People need to have more understanding of others.

told as a young teacher to accept the then new superannuation BIG MISTAKE

Moved my Mom to a senior care residence and was promised it would be just like home...it was a nightmare and she just left home

We were in a Refuge Camp and finally, after jumping through many hoops, got accepted by Australia. Among all the misery I now had to face the fact of having my lovely long hair cut very short, was told by my mum it would grow very quickly on the journey, which turned out to be true HOWEVER was not told the journey (back in the 1950s) took nearly 2months. The real reasoning behind it was it took too long each day to plait and pin up ... my goodness what else would there have been to do ... I had to look after baby brother as mum developed sea sickness as soon as we set sail!! you may now laugh!!! as in those days the men were separated from the women and dad got of lightly from parenting duties!!! another laugh coming up .. they wanted to put my baby brother in with the menfolk but I told them to give me a cot and I'll carry on looking after him and mum .. not only did my hair grow back but I also did a crash course in growing up!!!

I was told that this guy was GD, and it turned out he was an addict and dealing. No thank you wish him best but not my cup of tea.

mine isn't funny, I was told where to invest some money and lost the lot and this was before scams became a ":thing"

"Don't Sweat the Small Stuff"... I understand the concept but in my experience, the devil is very truly in the details. Sweating those is the better strategy. Swat one fly at a time and the task never becomes overwhelming.

Things can only get better

That I stand out in the crowd too much and therefore I need to get uglier. ... and no I did not take that advice and that is why I am still THE CHOSEN ONE.

OMG there is literally a lifetime of bad advice that would take me another lifetime to remember and write down. I just use a combination of logic, commonsense and gut feeling.

Doctor said I had an inflamed intestine and bladder infection. A few months later I gave birth to a 'surprise' son. I always recall my mate saying "Well he has got to be the cutest bladder infection ever!". Nice one doc!

punch him in the face, you end up with a broken face

WORST was when I was introduced to a man whom I was told was "Perfect for Me"! In a nutshell, we eventually married. He turned out to be abusive, especially verbally, mildly physically abusive, more to intimidate, a freeloader and an alcoholic! After 7 1/2 years of horror, he took my home away from me (a log cabin on 3 acres in GA) because I naively let him. When I thought about it later, I realized he had never paid for anything! I have so many regrets and, as for the lady who said, "I know someone who would be PERFECT for you.", what was she thinking? What kind of person did she think I was? I have forgiven, but I'll never forget. ;-(

I was told by a family member I needed to respect my brother even though he was awful to me. I did for a while then I began to think for myself. YEAH.

Get a job in the private sector - lucky for me I ignore that advice - I got a job in the public sector - made less money in the public sector compared to the private sector - but I get a federal civil service retirement check for over 26 years, COLA, and my federal civil service retirement check is tax free - I retired on 100 percent disability!

here son, sign right here, and off you go to boot camp and hell

Stick with it, tough it out!

The worst advice to give a person is to stay in a relationship where you're being cheated on. That's not healthy.

Go and play on the highway After hearing it so many times I actually did to make the person who said it happy and hopefully kill myself at same time.

Apply for disability

Not to marry my husband! Been happily married for over 40 years.🥰

No, you don't need a pre nup!!

Though it it out no matter how bad it gets

Matthew is really good below, good point, and I can't even remember any bad advice!

cannabis is bad for you and you should not use it as it is an evil drug, you will go mad and loose your mind and destroy your health...now i get it from the doctor as medicine...the times they are a changing

Keep smiling no matter how sad you are - how can you be honest when you do this?

play rewardia - I'm addicted!

That children should be seen and not heard

Play BUBBLE SHOOTER ! It is frustrating me no end because I still havent completed No 5.

Getting vaccinated for...well, you know.

WHY WOULD U LAUGH AT BAD

Take weight loss drugs for weight loss instead of exercise (causes digestive problems, sagging skin, loss of muscle, list goes on with these drugs).

Only feed your baby every 4 hours - Do not demand feed it

Always stand up to bullies at school..doesn't matter how big they are.....thanks mum....I lost interest in that one long before they killed me luckily...
