How not to advise

How not to advise

My friend John called asking for help. His girlfriend was offended, and he didn't even know why. Just tell her she's right and buy some flowers,  I said. Sam did so. But instead of flowers, he brought her a flowerpot. So they don't fade, he explained to her. Now they haven't spoken in three days, and I'm avoiding his calls. The advice was good, I just needed to clarify the details.
