FabSwingers.com forum: When someone actually takes your advice

Or a recommendation you've made - do you start internally freaking out? I dish it out all the time but can't take the pressure of someone actually following through

Isn't it odd how giving and taking advice in a professional capacity is the norm but in personal life its a random fluke

This is exactly my reaction, and as a teacher I have to give advice an awful lot to impressionable young people.

It's terrifying.

"Nobody (on fab) ever takes my advice "

That’s because you’re far too sensible

Not on big stuff. But restaurant recommendations and the like, I do worry they'll hate it if I've sent them there.

I once said to a young restaurant manager,"your tall enough,young enough,

why not be a policeman"!.

Years and years later in the outskirts of a nearby town,20 miles away,,while I was on a ladder ..a police car pulled up ..he got out and said 'hi, I took your advice '!

Someone once went on a trip to Durdle Door because I said it was nice. Luckily they liked it, but I did get heart palpitations when they told me they'd booked it

Years ago we had a new lad at a rubbish day job I was doing.

This was a crappy place to work and you just felt exploited. So I took him under my wing. I taught him how to walk about with a bit of paper looking concerned and spin that out into 30 minutes of chatting to people. Never going to the loo on your break. Dodging anything that looked as if it was going to get complicated.

He took all of this advice.

He was sacked within 2 weeks for not doing anything. I guess advice without the panache to carry it off isn't as much use

There are some people who just love dishing out advice or passing judgement on people. Quite often it’s masking there own insecurities. I avoid these people
