Favorite "don't"s

So each of us has had certain standard "don't"s drilled into our heads from the first day that we decided to embark on this path of madness:

-Don't say or imply that med school was/is your first choice. If it's absolutely necessary to mention it, be prepared to discuss why you've firmly changed your mind.

-Don't use e-mail addresses that make you seem ditzy/addicted/perpetually inebriated/etc.

-Don't use one of the standard cliches for your personal statement topic, unless you can make it part of a unique story.


Now, what are your favorite lesser-known "don't"s?

I can only think of one at the moment:

-When attending interviews, don't be rude to the security guard/parking lot attendant/receptionist/etc. Faculty members do speak with them about potential candidates.

Without thinking too hard, one comes to mind that I experienced someone do at an interview. Unless it is your intention:

Don't allow your flourenscent yellow G-string underwear to show if you are the type of person who tucks their shirt into their underwear to keep their shirt looking nice and tucked in.

Did it hurt her chances? All I know is that she is not in my class.🙄

HAHAHAHAHA

That's hilarious!

And I'm trying to think if this situation would have been be better or worse if she were a man...
