Advice

Have you ever disregarded advice when you shouldn’t have? I can’t remember times like that, but I do remember following advice from so-called experts that turned out to be a mistake.

  1. oh I have had a lot of those “experts” in my life – and wish I could have stopped before the first huddle!

    the most recent one: I was just thinking of my once best friend, who bullied me for decades and then suddenly I snapped when it got overwhelming to a point where I hated any car noise coming down our driveway, uninvited…because whatever I was doing at that precise moment “would not be good for me (her thoughts)” – I haven’t even spoken to/seen her this year, although she is on my fb page and occasionally comments…

    I do follow “advice” but often I don’t because I tend to work with my “Personal Flow” …

    Since I am famous for doing what someone tells me not to do, and know everything about everything, with the way I do things, the best way to do them, I am sure I have disregarded almost all advice given me for most of my life. I can’t seem to think of an example right now. it will come to me AFTER I click publish.

    This is too funny! Well, of course I have disregarded advice from my Mom, who hasn’t? And probably from others as well. Like the well-meaning friend who wanted us to go on a cruise. NOT!

  4. I used to totally disregard my parent’s advice … only realizing years later how smart they were. These days I take others’ advice (expert or not) with a grain of salt.

    Exactly like the poor guy in your cartoon. I never think a cat can turn from a lolling creature into the creature from the black lagoon instantly!

    Yes, I’ve ignored advice in the past. Sometimes it turned out well and other times not so much.

  7. The OP Pack says:

    I am sure I have done that many times over the years, but my husband is notorious for not taking good advice. And then I have to bite my tongue not to say “I told you so”:)

    I can remember one time buying a vacuum cleaner and Roger did not want me to..and he was NOT one to say no, you don’t need that. .he did not say much and just said if i must have it, go ahead and get it. I ended up hating the thing…it was a big brand name, and to use the hose, you had to take the head off that was for carpet….it had a bag that you took off and emptied. Total pain in the behind.
