If your lover already has children, *don't* believe him when he says that he's sterile because he had mumps after he fathered those children.

When your girlfriend has a jealous ex-husband and likes to make love with a blue light on in the bedroom, go somewhere besides the house she lived in with her husband if you want to be intimate! (Guy almost lost something very near and dear to his heart, and it was *not* the girlfriend!)

If you wish to commit suicide, don't just stick a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger (if you thought life was tough before, try life with no face).

If you suspect that your boyfriend is abusive to your children, don't leave him alone with them!

*Don't* breastfeed while riding in a car, or otherwise let your children ride unrestrained (can't tell you how many poor outcomes I've seen from this one).

Don't go to Mexico and buy stock-size bottles of antibiotics, then pop a few whenever you feel you may be "coming down with something."

If two extra-strength Tylenol are good, more are *not* better.

If you walk into your house and think you smell a gas leak, *don't* light a match to see what happens.

If you decide to make a barbecue grill from a used metal drum, make sure that it did not previously contain anything flammable. At least, don't let your wife and small child stand nearby to watch while you apply the blowtorch to the drum.

If you have a medication allergy, don't take the medication again just to see what will happen.

Putting on makeup and doing your hair beautifully to present that beautiful image when you swallow a whole bottle on xanax will not help your looks when you are drooling black charcoal after vomiting while sitting on a bedside potty pooing out the same black charcoal.

WOW, some of these stories are really sad and shocking at the same time.
I can't believe how little common sense some people have.

A great title for a show involving this: make it into a soap opera type, call it "The Dumb and the Senseless".
