_____, ALWAYS a bad idea

Some folks just don’t seem to have gotten the message, so we should have a definitive list.

I will start:
Bow ties, ALWAYS a bad idea. No one can wear a bow tie and be taken seriously. Unless you are wearing a Tux and you are Tony Bennett or James Bond. If you are wearing a bow tie, brown jacket and plaid dress shirt, we need to order you out of the gene pool.

Crocs, ALWAYS a bad idea. Good Lord, what were you thinking?? I know, they may be comfortable, bit they are HIDEOUS.

Neck Tattoos, ALWAYS a bad idea. This pretty much insures you will never have a real job outside of…being a rock star or a tattoo artist.

Belt below the buttocks, ALWAYS a bad idea. I know this is fashionable among the hip, slick and slow-witted but you look like an idiot. Unless we are changing in the gym at the same time, I should never know what kind or color of underwear you have on. If you we going commando, you would arrested on sight.

Have I covered it all?

Long finger nails on a dude, ALWAYS a bad idea.

I think old men look cute in bow ties.

Sticking your dick in the crazy.

Nonsense. Bow ties are cool.

(That’s the Eleventh Doctor wearing a bow tie and a fez, in case you were wondering.)

Now you tell me.

The OP’s list is full of exceptions, but this one has none!

Guitar players?

Lending money to friends and family. Heck, lending anything to anyone, if you care about getting it back.

In the same vein, renting a house to friends/family.

Man, that hurts just to think about it!

Maybe my nails are more fragile, but still…

Pay Day Loans.

Socks with sandals.

Letting someone stay with you, “just until they get back on their feet”…

Giving your full trust to an active addict or alcoholic…

Having unprotected sex, just this one time, because, surely, nothing bad will happen…

Working with someone that you also live with/are married to…

Using a lob wedge from 50+ yards out when you’re a 20+ handicapper.

Also attempting to hit a shot through a three-yard-wide gap in the trees after you’ve missed a 30-yard-wide fairway.

Trust me on these.

Having parts left over at the end of a home repair.

Using anything lighter than kerosene to start a barbecue.

Crocs are a good idea when you’ve got to work in the garden and need something you can slip on or off at the front door without too much hassle.

Crocs in public - then we might have a contender for the list.

Googling your surgery before you have it done is ALWAYS a bad idea.

Given the rest of your list, I was wondering where Mullet was.

ETA:

meh

Stirrup pants, ALWAYS a bad idea.

A co-worker of mine has just begun doing this, against all my advice not to. :frowning:

She is now a landlady to her sister and her dumbass husband who got them kicked out of their old house because he stopped making mortgage payments on it after 10 years or so.

On a related note, looking at the pictures in dermatology books… always regretted.

Also applies to home surgery.
I disagree with bow ties as an example. Bill Nye wears a bow tie.
