Question: What single piece of everyday advice is the best overall?

 

You can submit one of your own if you want,  and you can vote one up and vote one down only. Let's see which one has the highest number of overall up votes. 

It can be anything - as long as it's general/everyday not something super specific or arcane...

I would hope you always have your testicles (if you were identified as a male at birth, and haven't yet transitioned) when leaving home.

T.S.W.W. is a mnemonic for when  a Catholic crosses himself. When you leave home, it is PMT that you check: Passport, money, tickets.
