Sometimes, the most useful advice you will ever receive might come from the most unlikely of places.

Be it a random stranger you meet on the bus or in an anonymous online chat room.

Sometimes advice that might seem generic and vague on the surface might help shed light on other areas in your life you didn't even realize you needed help with.

With this in mind, Redditor gaps610 gave the Reddit community an opportunity to help out others by asking:

"What is some completely non-serious random advice you wanna give to your fellow Redditors?"

It's easy enough to dismiss these dubious words of wisdom as nothing more than a little frivolity.

But, best to keep all of them in the back of your mind.

After all, who knows, you never know what doing something as simple as holding the door might lead to.
