In my life people have said things to me which have stuck and I remember to this day. Here are a few examples.
My last school report
"EC you are the stuff of nightmares made real"
My last boss: "Never point a loaded..."
Me: "Oops"
My last girlfriend
"You're a B*****d and I've s**t in all your shoes"
Coffee shop
"That will be ÂĢ2.40 please"
My 3rd boss:
"You EC really are the riddle wrapped up in an enigma. I honestly have no idea what you do here. Please take this P45 and go"

Oh no Saint 
Wondered where you were. Hope you can get it sorted out ?
May I refer you to my previous reply..........
Don't spend money you haven't got on things you don't need to impress people you don't like.
My Dad,
"Don't brag about the size of your willy son.
You inherited that from ya Dad - and I never did"
Off again . . .
My first boss 'When you're talking to a client, never say 'I don't know', say 'I'll find out'
Teacher - Don't ever become loud.
Me - WHAT?
Oh and..
"if you p*ss off a boyfriend, NEVER just step into your shoes without checking'
Someone said to me once:
"Never go anywhere without a toilet roll"
Wise words indeed.

I'm have a liking for the phrase "revenge is a dish best served cold", but prefer it said in the original Klingon.

Which is? 
yrs ago
discussing my Ma's rehabilitation options (after her stroke) with bro/sis & their partners
i offered my opinion
i was told to shut up because 'i dont even come into the equation'
cheeky f*ckers
oh yeah & this one
about 20 odd yrs ago me & mate pulled 2 blondes
we arranged double date(
)
mate is suited & booted, drove us to pub in his jeep
im in jeans & t-shirt (they were washed & ironed)
we we're all getting on nice
then i over heard my one say to her mate 'i always get the dregs'
my mate was living on plastic, jeep was hired, money was overdrawn, behind with the mortgage
i owned all my own stuff & didnt owe a penny anywhere & had my own buisness
and that taught me a valuable lesson
taught her one aswell when i told her to do one
'O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us,
To see oursels as others see us!'

Remembered one... My Mum once said "Green cars are unlucky" when i was like 12... Recently bought my first car and my only stipulation was not green, I know its probably bull but it stuck with me.... I'll pop back and post more as they pop into my head.
Yep, I've heard the same about green cars.
My last car was a Mini in British Racing Green.

Maybe it's an Irish thing Ells.

Did it bring you any bad luck?
Not that I noticed. But then again I am not superstitious. 
Re green cars...
Yes many years ago green cars were known as unlucky since they headed the crash figures. the reason was simple since a green car blended in with the background, since many years ago we had green fields and hedges, and green is a relaxing colour so our eyes may not react as fast to it as say red.
I was in the transport industry since 18 and now much older.
When I was in my early 20's the R.A.F. did research on colours and found out that light green was the most relaxing and less tiring colour and had the inside of the trucks and buses painted this horrid green. it may have relaxed some but it didn't please the brain.
my advice if you have a green car it is not unlucky, it is just the better than grey or silver on a foggy or rainy day . just put some orange or yellow stripes so it can be seen better. the same go's for grey or silver. just think safe.
Found the above online

in our family we say red cars... I ignored this and bought a red cavalier years ago - I stopped at narrow bridge (which was on a corner) to a let truck come over first ,it took it too fast and the corner of the flat bed ripped my car open like a corned beef tin.
I still thought it was nonsense until I wrote off a red Clio (my fault this time) - I've never bought another one
Being called onto the stage in assembly by the headmaster and he saying 'Now is the winter of our discontentment. this is my winter of discontentment' (pointing at me 
)
Four of us had locked the assembly piano and buried the key to stop Trevor Liberace the Mincer (class mate) playing it every Friday morning. It was worth the embarrassment to see him struggle for ten minutes trying to open it!
Obviously someone snitched

Don't say that! The car i bought recently is red! My first ever car that I've been learning in
Mam said to me once.......listen to everything and say nothing
My Dad say's "See all, hear all, say F all"
My papa used to say, "Believe only half of what you see (because things are not always what they seem) and nothing of what you hear (ie don't listen to gossip). Good advice.
My nana always advised me to "listen to your conscience". Also good advice.
When my late brother and I were young and had done something naughty, my dad would say, "If you tell the truth, you might get into trouble, but if you lie and I find out, you'll be in bigger trouble!". Maybe that's why I'm a compulsive truth teller!
