This thread is a place for you to post quick "pro" tips that you learned recently. It's intended to help out people like myself who lack common sense at times.
So, without further ado, I'll get it started.

Pro tip #1: Don't spray your car windshield while driving towards the sun unless you are IFR rated.
 
Don't forget to close your flight plan on your first dual xc. Or ever, really.
 
Don't forget to fly the airplane.
 
Don't let your sim partner dial in frequencies for you when both of you think the IP isn't doing a good job of making it challenging.

He will dial in the wrong frequency.
 
Don't fly into a cumulonympho cloud. That is a f***ing thunderstorm.
 
Never pass up a chance to pee!
 
When the instructor said nose up, he was referring to the airplane nose.
 
To go up, pull back.

To go down pull back - a lot.
 
take off your sunglasses after sunset.

Don't do it when you are just above the freezing level if your windows are still cold.

A light unfrozen dew at about 33-34F will freeze when smeared by the wipers trying to clear the dew. Warm the window first.
 
don't take a sleeping pill and a laxative at the same time
 
Three things to remember when you get older: Never pass up a bathroom, never waste a hard-on, and never trust a fart.
 
never schedule the marching band to follow the mounted police in a parade

I used this one last night on a receipt at a nice restaurant where we had really crummy service - the waiter was chatting people up - to the point where my normally mild mannered wife got ****ed off and wanted another glass of wine . . . 5 min, 10 min - 15 min - finally she got up and went to the bar.

Guy got a 11% tip along with the advice written on the receipt . . . "don't **** off the wife."

hahahah:goofy::goofy:

Don't gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it.

On a traffic stop

Do not exit your vehicle to "meet the officer halfway".

When asked for your drivers license, do not hand over a military ID

If your home gets burglarized, do not compare what the police are doing to what you saw on CSI and say the police are doing it wrong.

Been there quite a few times. I remember the band boosters (parents) having to stand by the doo doo as we would navigate around. One time they placed a traffic cone over the doo. I was playing a bass drum, did not see the cone, it got stuck between my legs and I somehow pulled off some incredible Jason statham transporter moves and freed myself without falling. Still looked goofy as hell.
