Never send an email or text that could get you in trouble later.

Goes well with "you have 2 ears and 1 mouth cause you're expected to listen more then talk"

Or my favorite that I learned from an impromptu mentor: when unsure what to say, shut your mouth and hold your stare until they start talking again. You can put a thinking stare, defying stare, unsure stare, doesn't matter, while you're not giving away your position they're giving away theirs simply because they're uncomfortable with the silence.

Also. Never take pictures that could get you in trouble. Even if they'll only ever be on your phone. Nothing of questionable legality. No nudity. No behavior that could cost a job 15 years later.
