What is the worst advice you've ever received in your life?

Don't quit your job at Walmart. You've been here for three years, just seven more and you'll be fully vested in the company.

Ugh, one thing I just remembered about that job. We had a manager who, since the time I started working there,

couldn't speak above a whisper no matter how hard she tried. It had been

like this for years. Two years after I was hired, she finally found a doctor who figured out

the problem. Apparently, if you're stressed out every single day for years on end, it can cause

a psychogenic voice disorder. He ordered her to take three months off work. When she came back,

she could speak normally.

When I was in high school, I had a friend who was not the smartest. I remember him telling me if I didn't want to get a woman pregnant, then she should be on top so the seaman can't flow

up. He became a father his sophomore year. You know, son, there's really no such thing as cheating if you aren't married.

The Bible doesn't recognize any relationship that isn't bound in the covenant of the Lord, so

until you're married, relationships don't really exist.

Thanks, Dad, you just indirectly explained why you're on your third marriage.

Had an uncle tell me that men could be allowed to fool around in relationships as it was

their impulse to have as many children as possible? And women? Well, look at a man other than your

husband and you're a prostitute. I have some questionable family members. I called kids' help phone

when I was a teen to ask for advice on how to help my depressed friend. They advised I

find new friends. I wish I was making this up. To clarify, the conversation was very short. I explained

my friend had been struggling, depressed, and with no motivation and isolating herself from others.

Along those lines, it was a while back, and I asked what I could do. The only piece of advice

they gave me was, let her sort it out on her own, and find you friends. That's it. Nothing to interpret

or misinterpret, I don't think. We remained friends, though, and she's all right now.
