Don't make big decisions in the heat of the moment.

I was going through the break up from hell a few years ago and wanted to get a visa and go to Canada. I was literally on the point of applying when my cousin suggested I wasn't in the right mindset to make such a commitment.


She then suggested I cut my hair instead and leave off making the decision to move for a little while. She was right.

In any situation that arised, just relax, take a bit of time and take a look at it with a clear head. Nothing good comes from panicking and rushing.

also:

Better to have a few close friends you can always count on than be mr.popular and have nobody there for you when things get tough

But you went to Canada anyways???? so she was wrong? And why cut your hair? how does that fit into the conversation???

You :"should I go to Canada or not"
Her: "Nah cut your hair instead...same thing really"

Best advice I ever got was

• Don't Panic! Stay calm and you can get through anything.
• If you keep plugging away at it, you'll get there in the end.

I went after taking time to research, save up and decide if it was truly what I wanted to do or if it was a knee jerk reaction.

The haircut was a joke about girls always getting a make over after a nasty break up

Always get a receipt: proof of purchase for any shoplifting accusations, keep track of how much money you spend, they can't put your cash into their pocket, can get today's date off it, can get the current time off it, can remember what pub your were in last night from it, when you leave someone thing behind you can get the phone number off it and ring them.

When travelling somewhere, never travel with a dickhead. You're sure to find one when you get there.

It's the same as with the best joke ever heard thread.
The first two posters have actually something genuine. The rest just grabs any old sh1te from Google or some stupid one liner they heard at some time.

Are you seriously saying what people post here is the best advice they ever had?

There are a few genuine answers. Of course there are gonna be whitty/stupid ones too.. That is the risk of posting on After Hours. I didnt say all the answers are genuine. But some are.. There are a few genuine ones

"You are responsible for your own happiness" is my favourite.

One I also like is
"If you run into an ass hole in the morning; they are an ass hole. If you run into aas holes all day; then you're the asshole"

My Dad told me this in the context of refereeing football (which we both do) but it's really the best life advice I ever got:

"Never make a second mistake to make up for a first."
