What's one thing your parents used to tell you not to do, that you actively do in adulthood?

I'll start: Sticking the knife in the toaster to pull out a stuck slice. I haven't died yet

Smoke
Drink
Eat rare meat and meat that hasn’t been cremated
Talk to strangers

‘’Gallivant” is such a lovely word.

Leave a used cup on the side for over 5 minutes without even thinking about washing it up

I was warned never to have a bath when I was having my period because DM heard of someone who did this and bled to death. It hasn't happened yet!

Not bother to iron bed sheets. Life's too short for that shit.

Eating before swimming isn't dangerous

Lol at a nurse believing this... as for the choking thing...

Bit of a weird one:

Shave my legs, and allow my teenage DD to do the same. My DM has never shaved her legs in her life (luckily she has very fine blonde leg hair) and considers it to be something that only 'that sort' of woman would do. I remember the razer burns I got from trying to secretly use an old bic razor my dad left in the bathroom cupboard (I had no idea I needed foam).

My mum was funny saving shaving legs too. Not because of the sort of woman, more she only waxed and saw waxing as much better, leaves hair thinner, lasts longer, shaving leaves hairs thicker etc etc.

I mean yeah some valid points I guess but it bloody hurts, and it costs. Shaving all the way here now. No regrets.

Don't read so much, you'll wear your eyes out.
