Ripping Customer Service a new one is always gonna come back to haunt ya.
And crocs are OK, for house slippers, or shower shoes.
Telling a cop to kiss your ass.
My girlfriend (who I live with) and I worked together for 10 of our 12 years together (she recently got a better-paying job), and we never had any problems because of it.
I’d add going on vacations with family (as an adult).
I agree with the bolded. (The boldening was mine). We recently had people go apeshit when I said something similar about people with facial tattoos and piercings. So, watch people come in and bitch at you for this. Call you names.
Air guitar? Meh, when the mood strikes you, who cares, let it rip.
Air sax? Always a bad idea.
Air flute or air violin? Even worse.
Well, in object-oriented languages. In BASIC and its various flavors you really didn’t have much choice.
What about suspenders and a belt at the same time?
Couldn’t we just generalize that to “playing golf”? Oh, snap!
Another one: saying “Oh, snap!” unless you’re 16 and it’s 1995.
Googling ‘blue waffle’: ALWAYS a bad idea.
.
Wearing spandex if your BMI is over 24.
Gaging your earlobes if you ever want to work anywhere that doesn’t require steel toed boots.
Driving after overindulging in alcohol or other intoxicants.
Drinking gin with beer.
Attempting to sugar your boss’ gas tank when she suspends you for three days (this actually happened to me. The guy wound up fired and faced trespassing charges when security caught him trying to get the locked gas cap off.)
As long as there’s no bow tie involved, it’s just good safety.
Blackface.
Asking a woman if she’s pregnant.
Also the converse: letting the crazy stick its dick in you is also always a bad idea.
Texting while driving is always a bad idea.
Getting drunk and deciding to call someone for a heartfelt conversation, always a bad idea.
Screaming at your boss about not getting more hours? That’s always a bad idea too. (But surprisingly common. I’ve seen multiple people fired after that)
Going commando in a skirt.
Depends on the circumstances, I suppose . . .
Agreed - one should never ask this question unless one already knows the (positive) answer.
Simple one:
Leaving your tools on a latter… even if you’re coming right back. No body wants to wear your wrench as a hat.
I attempted to multiquote to list how many of these I disagree with and/or have done, then realised I’d probably break the board…
The problem with the “always a bad idea” idea is time - it’s only a bad idea after the fact, at the time it’s a great one! So, “always” is incorrect.
Alligator felching, ALWAYS a bad idea. But there is a website.
With regard to putting your willy in the wacky, I agree with this and might even go a bit further.
It’s all well and good to say “Never put your dick in the crazy!” but the short-term benefits can be high. Now that I am happily married and settled, I find that whenever my mind drifts back to previous sexual partners (specifically in the context of thinking about sex, anyway) it’s just those few who were absolutely batshit. Very strong correlation, there. Of course, if the contraception had failed and any one of those were now a permanent part of my life, I would probably be a Don’t Stick Your Dick In The Crazy Evangelist. (And you really shouldn’t stick your dick in the crazy evangelist.)
Anyway, I nominate the Soul Patch as always a bad idea. Young man, never put anything on your chin which is likely to call to mind the manicured pubis of a woman of ill-repute - except (in some limited and qualified circumstances) the manicured pubis of a woman of ill-repute.
