Title: Things I Don't Recommend
Post by: Javakoala on July 21, 2013, 11:11:08 AM
I don't know if there is/was a thread like this, but here goes:

Give a piece of advice about something (preferably some action you've done or experienced) that you wouldn't recommend. It can be obvious, like the one I'm about to relate, or it can be something that sounds reasonable at face value but not so much in reality.

I don't recommend having two bicycle wrecks in one day, especially if you are over 40 (I'm 50, God help me). I think the Universe (or God, if you will) is trying to tell me something. The last bike I had ended up dumping my aging butt twice over a couple of weeks, and the second wreck screwed up the bike. Today, two wrecks in ONE DAY, and, again, the second one screwed up the bike.

If I wasn't wrapped in the good graces of naproxen's love (I took some after the first wreck), I'd probably be unable to move. I'm sure I'll get to that point a little later in the day. One knee is bruised and skinned into hamburger. The other knee has been screwed up for over a month and was actually healing...until today. I have road rash on my hand from catching myself (and failing) on the sidewalk. And my back feels like a Slinky Dog after a 3-hour session with a sadistic 4-year-old on a sugar binge.

So, I don't recommend having bicycle wrecks.

Ouch! (Understatement if the week?). I hope you didn't hurt yourself too bad!

Don't stand on a dolly and lean backwards.

Never tell a nun she's going to hell because she is Catholic!


(I did NOT do this, but a Pentecostal I knew did.  The results were pretty funny, since he had just been sent to a Catholic orphanage!)

Holy crap! That is damn good advice!

Funny, though.

I did this when I was a kid, which could explain a lot about why I am the way I am.

Don't inhale several balloons full of helium.  It may make your voice funny, but I actually passed out from it.  I then had horrible gas pains the rest of the day.

Don't load a truck without making ABSOLUTELY SURE they are backed all the way to the loading dock, as in TOUCHING it.  I've had a pallet of product tip over because they didn't check their truck themselves.

Don't get p*ss drunk at a brew festival and then let someone talk you into using their remaining tokens (my brother in this case), and then take public transportation home.  You WILL paint yourself a hue of ralf, if not the bus/train, to the horror of the other passengers.

Don't work with (or for) regular drug users who can't at least shake off the effects before they come to work.  These people suck.

Hmmm . . .do I sense an interesting story in your past?

Another thing to avoid is trying to rationally discuss the Civil War with someone from South Carolina!

How much drinking had been done prior to this taking place?

Man! Why even ride a bike?!  What’s wrong with an adult tricycle?  Is that just not dangerous enough to be cool?  Is it because you can’t possibly be getting good exercise unless you are constantly trying not to break your neck?  It just doesn’t seem like a good idea to me to ride something that has the potential to fall over every time you stop and then once you master not falling over when you stop, you are forced to take your bike into the street so now you also have to dodge cars whilst teetering atop two skinny wheels and bruising your butt cheeks.  Don’t even get me started on rollerblades! 

I don’t recommend letting a professional cross dresser string you up in a corset unless you’re really ready for it!

That qualifies for a major "OUCH!!"

Also, don't order a hot fudge banana split at Braum's and then get a Limeade to drink. I tried it and it was a HORRIBLE combination!

If you're snowblowing your driveway and there's a pile of leaves under the snow, don't try to just go through them.  It plugs the thing up.

If you're mowing the lawn and you're at the top of a wall, with a large trumpeter bush all draped over the wall obscuring your view of it, make doubly sure of where you're stepping.

If you're taking a walk in the winter after there has been freezing rain, but things aren't as slippery as you might expect, do not take it for granted that the stairs behind your house won't be covered in ice.

When you're working out and doing squats, don't do a little bounce at the bottom of the movement to get the weight moving upwards again.  Be very slow and deliberate at the bottom.

Interesting. You know, about a year ago my cousin and her friend were messing with a 1970s-era Ouija board left in a closet for many years, spelling goofy sexual things to one another, and all of a sudden the planchette (she says) jumped under their fingers and spelled out what seemed to be some sort of threat to my cousin, actually using her name. My cousin says she knows she didn't move it like that and her friend literally got a Bible off a shelf and swore she didn't either. Why a Parker Brothers toy would be some gateway to another dimension I have no idea but when she told me that, coming as it did from her, it sort of made me pause a second.

I dont recommend - going in the basement at night...
with no lights and with nobody else in the house, and you just watched a ghost movie.

and wondering - is that noise creeping in the dark corner a ghost?

Don't ever eat an orange after brushing your teeth.

Now I know most of you are going to go out and do this, but it's horrible.

Also, here's a lesson I learned the hard way, if you have burned your mouth on pizza or whatever, don't go out the next day and eat salt and vinegar potato chips.

I don't recommend watching The Toxic Avenger, getting sentimental, and go on a Troma movie buying binge.

Not that I dislike Troma. I think they are great, but, for some reason, their DVDs never seem to get as cheap as other DVDs. I know, I know, they sell far less than crap like Titanic, but still...yeah, avoid the binge buying in general I guess.

If you have heartburn pretty easily, or daily as my case, don't go camping and forget your anti reflux medicine, then eat Pepsi, s'mores and Polish dogs roasted on a campfire.

Along those lines, sort of: Never share a tent with someone addicted to sauerkraut.
