advice

Relationships are hard, and good advice can be hard to come by, especially when the world is so full of dumb and bad life pro tips to not do. These folks were asked to embody the world's worst marriage counselor and give advice that would result in irredeemably fractured relationships. So just do the opposite of what's in here and you're probably good to go. For some more playful relationship disagreements like mis-cut waffles and tangled cords, here are the annoying things that people's spouses do.

As people, we're constantly fretting over the next best move. We don't want to make rash decisions, so we seek out advice that best fits our situation. But that advice sometimes isn't so great. Sometimes, it's bad life pro tips that won't help at all. Be they wildly self-destructive or heinously immoral, some pieces of advice are just hilariously dumb and bad tips to avoid.

Marriage is commonly known as an emotional rollercoaster. When you commit to another human being for the rest of your life through sickness and health, you're pretty much signing up for a riveting journey of ups and downs, wins and losses, and pain and ecstasy with someone who you'll find yourself both madly in love with at times, and completely enraged by at other times. Maybe this guy's collection of things that he was able to learn from his two decades of marriage will be helpful for some folks, and convince other people to never ever give the whole marriage thing a go. 

With Father's Day right around the corner Jimmy Fallon decided to start up a Twitter thread that has people sharing the very best and absolute worst advice that they ever received from their dads. Even when the intentions are pure, sometimes the advice ends up being anything but good. Maybe some of these dads were just kidding around. You know, like they could've been telling their own kinds of dad jokes that just ended up completely missing their mark. Speaking of dad jokes, check out these punny dad jokes that outpunned themselves. 

Just because someone who is older than you or in a position of authority gives you advice doesn't mean that their "advice" isn't pure and unadulterated nonsense. Seriously, there's something hardwired into far too many folks that results in people deluding themselves into thinking they "know best" just because they've been kicking it on this strange planet for a bit longer. If your gut instinct is telling you that you just received some bad advice that you should never put into practice, then you should probably listen to that gut instinct. 

Assigning silly identities and voices to those various thought streams that might pop up as invasive, and with a dark tone around them, can be helpful in riding out the process back toward peace. If you're able to step outside the thought when it pops up, recognize it as that, and not identify with the thought, it can almost end up being a game of sorts. Is the conspiracy theorist with the panicked strain piping up again from the back corridors of your mind? Maybe. 

There are always things we could improve with our demeanor or social skills. So if you want people to trust you (for non-nefarious purposes) or just get a leg up when playing tennis, there are some things we can all do to get that coveted psychological edge. A pretty simple psychological hack like knowing when to speak or how to make the right kind of eye contact can be a total game-changer.

It's not like anyone wants to give you bad advice. Well, maybe these hilariously bad and dumb life pro tips might be exactly that. This incredibly dumb financial advice also falls into the category of "straight up don't do this." That said, times change and some previously ubiquitous good ideas find themselves no longer belonging, whether it be due to evolving technology, changing social ideas, or the rapid decline and corruption of various institutions.

Some of us are talkers, and hopefully you know who you are. There comes a time in every conversation's life when it's time for that conversation to end. Maybe it's when the one person starts talking about their favorite cat names. It could be when you find yourself saying "wow, that's crazy" for the fifth time. But being basically polite people, it helps to have strategies that are better than shouting "I hate you I hate you I hate you." Our politeness gets us into some weird situations, like these worst things people ate out of politeness.

Not all advice is created equal, especially in the case of these dumb and bad life pro tips to not do. Whether it's extremely unethical, wildly dangerous or physically impossible, not doing most of these is a great idea. It's good to keep your ears open for tips, but dubious pro tips of questionable origin aren't exactly gonna do you many favors.

You never know when one of these could come in handy. Maybe someone has just drawn a giant wiener on your whiteboard in permanent marker and your boss is coming in. Maybe you're freezing and all you have is a match and a bunch of Fritos and crayons. Life pro tips can come in handy when you least expect. On the other side of things, here are some dumb and bad life pro tips to avoid.

Here's a combination of totally crap life hacks, immoral life pro tips, impossible advice that isn't based on objective facts and a few plain bad ideas. So they're pretty funny. When we're looking for a leg up, it's always a bad idea to check out some dumb and bad life pro tips to not do. They're generally bad tips that aren't worth it, but it's something.

It's kind of weird how a small piece of foam, extra long cord, or little metal clip can make a daily struggle disappear completely. Sure, it makes us feel stupid to realize that we could have solved a problem years ago for three dollars, but where's the fun in that? On the other side of things, here are extremely reckless uses of money people don't regret at all.

With just a few simple strategies, you too could look like a moron and ruin your life. Dumb and bad life pro tips will help you go out of your way to antagonize people, live a horrible life, and be sad all the time. There's no reason to not streamline your life with a few bad life pro tips to not do. What's stopping you? Other than decent judgement.

It's weird learning that someone you trust is absolutely crap with money. Debt isn't something to play around with, but there are some out there who either don't know or don't care, and see taking out frivolous loans and making dumbass purchases as a way of life. For more money madness, here's a tumblr user's scary debt notice lesson as well as some of the most absurdly expensive thing people witnessed.

All in all, a lot of this is common sense. Head on a swivel, don't talk to overly friendly strangers at 3 am, and don't walk around with hundred dollar bills poking out of your back pocket. It's sort of surprising how many people don't think about this stuff. For some flirtation with the law, here are things people later found out was illegal.
