What's the worst advice you were given that you actually followed?
I just got a new car a few months ago, and I dented it last week by running over a chain sealing off a closed recreational parking lot in the mountains. My friend has absolutely no automotive expertise, but she's a horrible driver and gets into lots of accidents so I decided to take her advice to "just pop the dent out with a mini plunger thingie" in hopes that the bumper would look like it used to.
Now there's a 6-inch dent where a 2-inch dent was and I spent a whole hour looking silly, plugging away at my car with a plunger. A cop even stopped by my apartment and asked me what I was doing... I guess he assumed I was trying to vandalize someone else's car and I had to show him my keys to get him to believe me.
That, and aside from heaping mayo, egg, and avocado on my hair last week because someone told me it would repair split ends (which it didn't, and it stained my carpet and favorite silk robe) is probably the worst advice I've ever gotten and followed.

I don't ever follow the rubbish advice thats frequently dished out to me as i see it for what it is. I learnt my lesson when i was a child and had to do certain things that others forced me into that they were always wrong and i knew that I should never take their advice once im in a position to ignore it.

I almost never get advice, and what I do get, I don't follow because it usually doesn't make sense.

"The Yellow Light means speed up!"
- From believe it or not, my first driving instructor during a Driver's Ed class. Needless to say, he wasn't our instructor the next day.
Take care all.
"C'mon, Eric. It'll be fun to scream out of a megaphone while driving around the city."
As a counterpoint, the worst advice I've ever given was when I told Doomgaze to try Spontaneous Combustion hot sauce with me. Our mouths were on fire for about forty minutes.

STD's? Tch, that's just something the CIA made up to scare us all into monkhood.
I didn't follow this advice, but that's because the person I got it from was a conspiracy theorist.
I DID however follow.
Just go up there and talk to him! What's the worst that could happen?
Thank you...
Not only was he gay, his boyfriend also happened to be RIGHT THERE.
