What is the worst advice you’ve ever received?

Long ago in college, I was taking 18th century French literature. The professor was awful. Someone cried every class because of him. It was the first time I was failing a course in college. I tried to talk to him after class about it one day. He diagnosed me with ADD. He told me he would show me where the student health center was located on campus to get a prescription for my newly discovered “ailment”. He said taking adderall would be great because not only would my grades improve, I would lose weight too! Mind you I am 5’ 3” and was 115 lbs in college. As I type this I wish I would have been brave enough to report him. Instead I dropped the course a few hours later. I promise to the world if I ever see his face again I will scold a grown man.
