The bad advice thread

The best solution for getting peanut butter out of hair is to add chewing gum.
Worried about taking your computer to be repaired in case the shop staff find all the naughty pictures on your hard drive and call the cops? Store them all in a folder marked "research material for serious and completely unsexy academic research paper by order of HRH The Queen (bubbles)". That way you will have a totally believable and innocent alibi established in advance and the police will not trouble you.
Worried about being assaulted on the street by loitering chavs? As you come within earshot of a suspicious group begin a loud conversation with an imaginary companion, saying "Thank-you, Graagh-Hamliph, my invisible protector, for imparting upon me the secret deadly fighting techniques of your home planet of Ik'snav, I now feel I could confidently take out any low-life ruffian who attempts to assault me".
Do not appear to address this directly to the gang of ne'er-do-wells in question, or they might realise you're bluffing.
Anyone have any more unhandy hints they'd like to share with the populace?
