“What is the worst advice you ever received?” – 17 terrible examples
Most people who give good advice are happy to do so because they’re not using it themselves. Not all advice is equal, however – “Never read the bottom of the internet” – good advice; ” Don’t vaccinate your child in case they get autism” – really, really bad advice.

An old housemate told me to piss in a shotglass and pour it in my eye when I had conjunctivitis. I asked where in hell she got that from. She said her Russian grandmother. I asked how was the grandmother. She said "Oh you know, old and blind."
