And other stories from the stranger side of life
“Just stop worrying” has been voted the most frustrating and futile advice in a survey of 2,000 British adults. Some 42% of those polled said it was the worst or most pointless suggestion they had been given. Other annoying pieces of advice cited in the poll included “revenge is sweet”, “forgive and forget” and “marry for security, not for love”. However, 95% of respondents were fully confident that they give great guidance themselves, noted The Times.
