And it begins...

What is the worst piece of advice you have ever recieved? Did you ever recover?

I can honestly say that the most common piece of advice that has led me astray over the years involves some variation of the "Try it. What can it hurt?" line of thinking. I have thrown up, been hospitalized, been badly hurt, and woke up with regrets more times than I can count with this type of advice.

Also included in this genre of thinking is "Have you got something better to do?", "That would make an interesting story to tell your kids" and the ever popular "C'mon....C'mon!!!".

What have you got?
