Stress and stupidity: working with idiots can kill you!

A recent newspaper article cited common causes of heart attacks as junk food, smoking, lack of exercise … and working with idiots!

We all know we should steer clear of caffeine, bad fats and cigarettes and get sufficient exercise; and these are things we can do – all it takes is a certain amount of discipline and a great deal of self-control.

Stress is another of the things we should avoid in order to have healthy hearts and live long lives.

Avoiding stress, however, is very distinctly not on the can-do list

Only you can determine how you choose to react to the stressful events, news and situations that will cross your path. And now, according to the unnamed newspaper report, researchers at Sweden’s Lindberg University Medical Centre have identified another lethal form of stress – working with idiots on a daily basis.

The Swedish team also found that most of us have very poor coping skills when it comes to stupidity

Einstein said: “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.”
