maybe warn her to keep the crazy in check for a while
but basically nothing.

do people listen to your advice?
it seems too sensible for anyone to pay attention to.

No one ever listens to any relationship advice ever.
Unless it agrees with what they want to do.

^ this
Example:

'So you're saying I should stop calling him and leave him alone, that's your advice, okay sounds good'

I like to think that I'm not that bad at ignoring advice.
but generally I'll only ask people for advice if I know they'll agree with me.

I don't tend to ask for advice
I tend to wait until I have done something daft and then tell people what I have done! :)

this doesn't surprise me

Meh
I'm not bad at dishing out advice, but when it comes to accepting it I'm rubbish, so I tend to just bugger off and do something silly instead... it works for me, well, sort of.

I can only give good advice through the medium of email

Really?
I'm much better IRL

people don't seem to ask me for it face to face*
I'm not a particularly serious person


*even on subjects where I know more than everyone else they know.

Hehe
You should distribute a pamphlet with your 'chosen subjects' so people know they can come to you about specific things! Hehe

I'm not a serious person either but people always ask me for advice, especially at work... its very strange, maybe I look like I know what I'm talking about?
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Thu 19 Nov 2009, 15:40, Reply)

at work is different
because I'm an "expert" at various things, so people are constantly asking me for advice.

Don't think anyone has ever asked me for relationship advice, despite having had a string of long and (until the end) successful ones.

Hehe I mean they ask me for
relationship advice at work... most strange!

Awww, perhaps you should start your own OT Ask Vipros thread?

naa, it'd be full of "Why are you so smug?"

That is true!
Oh well
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Thu 19 Nov 2009, 16:05, Reply)

I tend to ask for opinions rather advice
because then people get less offended when I dismiss them instantly
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 15:23, Reply)

I usually get advice if I want it or not.

Oh I hate those friends
'You know what you should do'

Yes, tell you to fuck off and stop messing around in ma bizniz!
