If I hear this line again, I'm gonna smack someone on the upside of their head. If you are doing something in a different method than someone else, and they come to you and say, "If I were you, I'd do..." It's just showing their own stupidity. If they were you, they'd think like you, therefore do what you are already doing. If they did something else, then they're not you.

Litterally had to hear it 12 times at work today from the one guy who made my depressing day, more depressing. Start saying, "If I was in your position..." or "If I was doing (What they're doing)..."

Do not say "If I were you..."
