Not to let lady friends walk home alone at night.

Never get married

Because the amount of spousal murders is staggering

I really learned this in the military, but UM reinforced for me that you need to leave a partial or full GOTWA with at least one person before you leave to go do something.

G - Where I'm going
O - Others I'm taking with me
T - Time I'll be back
W - What to do if I'm not back by that time
A - Actions to take (in the Army this was actions to take if I'm hit or you're hit by an attack as this is taught as part of patrol base operations. In the civilian world I'd say what to do if you have reason to suspect I'm in danger)

Lock my car door as soon as I get inside/check the backseat before getting inside.

To be RUDE. Too many times people try to be nice and end up in a bad situation.

I guess an example of this would have been Charlie Sigmin....when his ex-wife called him for help, he should have said "not my problem, b1tch", and he might be alive today. So be RUDE people! When it comes to your safety or your money, you are allowed to be rude.

Amen and hallelujah. That Gretchen Burford segment has haunted me since childhood.

Don't drink a milkshake if it burns your throat.

I know I shouldn't laugh, but man that gave me a hard chuckle

Not to open the door for strangers, or to go to an ATM at night.

I've got Coke Zero on my computer screen. Thanks.

Never pick up hitch hikers.
Always keep your doors locked, house and car.

Oh, and never walk towards a landed UFO.

Buy a second-hand bunk bed............

freakbook · 04-27-2020, 01:53 PM

Oh, and to avoid love triangles. Those don't seem to end very well
