Consider the following list a bunch of red flags for when people offer you "career advice" that could actually be anything but helpful in you accomplishing what you want. Just cause it's advice doesn't mean it's good advice.

If you want terrible life advice, there are a lot of places you can find it. Even if someone thinks they have your best interest at heart, they might not exactly have the proper wisdom to be helpful. Here are some really bad ideas. Some folks dodged these bullets, others regretfully went through with them.
Maybe people out there thinking about tying the knot with that special someone will learn a thing or two from this guy's list of marriage advice that he wishes he'd known sooner in life. Sometimes the only way to get that kind of wisdom though, is through those mistakes we just call experience.
Yes, you done messed up big time with this one. As far as "Am I The Asshole?" threads go, this one was just glaringly obvious. You're going to bail on your boyfriend in arguably one of the toughest times of his life for a vacation with the family; and then have the audacity to ask whether or not you're an asshole for doing so? You are quite lost. Quite lost, indeed.
That being said, if you're looking for some more juicy "Am I The Asshole" drama we recommend you check out a recent post about a bald bridesmaid asking the internet if she was a jerk for not wearing a wig to a particularly unruly bridezilla's wedding.
What a powerful and hilarious way to handle the paralyzing nuisance of a wave of intrusive thoughts. Nobody likes to hear that voice in the back of their head telling them to check the garage door or stove for the third, fourth, eh fifth time, cause you can never be too sure. In this case, the Tumblr thread works to assign funny personalities to those troubling intrusive thoughts. Seems like a pretty effective way to handle the situation.
This uncomfortable boyfriend decided to pick Reddit's brain on whether or not he's the asshole for NOT wanting to meet his girlfriend's ex. This sounds like quite the complicated, awkward situation. Hope he found some sort of clarity from these people's answers.
When faced with a tough decision, it's helpful to get another opinion. This guy wanted to know if he was wrong to not want to adopt his stepdaughters, and people had a lot of well-thought out opinions on the matter. The internet has tough questions, like this guy who asked if he was a jerk for disowning his sister for marrying his childhood bully.
You can trust that L. Scott Briscoe has your back in whatever idiot-headed chicanery you find yourself "wrongly accused of." In any case, the man needs some numbers on bus benches we can call the next time we really get in deep when it's "no fault of our own." For more lawyer themed shenanigans, here are courtroom stories from a tumblr thread spotlighting how crazy it is that court reporters can keep straight faces.
These mystified mothers encountered all kinds of unfounded, crazy advice when they had their first kids. We want to believe the people offering their "advice" were doing it from a good place; but even then, what they chose to pass out as "helpful" information is just ridiculous! Never read anything about putting a hat on a kid or anyone else, to cure the hiccups.
