Reading

A survey of 2000 British adults found that "just stop worrying " was voted the most futile.

What's some useless advice that you have been given?

When I see a TV chef (i.e. one on the telly, not... oh, you know) they have this strange tip when adding a small amount of something like spice or pepper or whatever. They say...

"Not too much."

How is this helpful?! Obviously "too much" is the wrong amount by definition!

Have you ever wondered how much of something to put into food you are making and thought "How much of this should I put in? I know. Too much. Yes, I think I'll put *too much* in. That sounds about the right amount."

It also helps to be cooking in a fully stocked kitchen bigger than most other people's houses

I'm not diabetic, but a surgeon told me to lose weight as follows: "just stop eating entirely."

The correct advice is stop worrying about shit that you can’t do anything about

I find telling people to calm down, is peak good advice when they are mildly uncalm.

Time is a great healer.

Anyone who says those things to me receives a very useful piece of advice from me, ending in 'off'.
