Moaning about something after it has happened does no good whatsoever.
and related.
Giving someone advice about something they've already done does no good whatsoever and may actually make them feel worse.

It took me about 40 years to work these out. Totally pointless.

No STW thread gets to the 3rd page without turning into a binary, attack and counter attack argument, even ones when STW seems to have a collective agreed stance.

If you spend your life thinking you'll be happy once you get the next 'thing' on your list, you'll never be happy.

Every Married Man has at one time or other, but usually multiple times - blamed their Wife for not being 'allowed' to do something they don't want to do.

No one likes the taste of Coffee, in the same way no one likes smoking tobacco. You've grown to enjoy the feeling of easing your cravings.

Alcohol Free Beer only exists so brewers can circumvent advertising restrictions.

When you get old, your kids will spend as much time thinking about the value of your possessions as much they do your health and wellbeing.

This one is utter bollocks, coffee tastes delicious. Tea, on the other hand, is described by my son as 'stinky fish water' and I think he has a point.

Never drink in a flat roof pub.

I was intrigued by one close to my caravan site when working near Newport, South Wales, so went in - having an English accent added another edge (North Wales and I may have been pushing it too far).

There were some very strange goings on and I definitely got checked out, not being a local to the estate, but everyone I interacted with were really friendly

There is no point saying, 'Things can't get any worse' because a universal truth is that things can always get worse. Until you die. Then things can't get any worse.

The vast majority of people have more than the average number of legs for a human.

Second one is that some STWer will be along soon to ask me if I meant 'mean' rather than average.

Put a man alone in a room with a tea cosy and he will put it on his head. Any man. The only variable is how long it will take.

The bigger a company gets the more managers it has to manage the managers. But never more workers to do the work.

As parents of young children, only occasionally will you not have a cold or some other bug. Rarer still will you all be free of such things.

No, that's penises.

It's fine to have one, it's fine to be proud of it even. But it's not cool to ram it down someone else's throat unsolicited.
