Short and sweet, here are the pressing issues (well, some of them) for your Agony Uncle this week.
Oh, and if you like these 10 Deep shorts, you can buy them here from ASOS.
What’s the worst thing someone could do with your address?

Send you a box of tarantulas without a return address.

There’s a guy at work who eats smelly, reheated, deep-fried prawns in our office EVERY. BLOODY. DAY. Apart from the fact that I hate seafood (yes, a crime), it really stinks and lingers for hours. Can I tell him to go outside?
Sheri, Twitter
For the purpose of the exercise, forget your aversion to seafood and bring in fresh prawns and shell them beside his desk and see how he likes it. Failing that, take up masking the odour with Red Door; it’s enough to put anyone off between-meal snacking permanently.

Is it considered rude and intrusive to ask about a women’s age directly?
Joon W., Twitter
Take a moment and remember asking your mother her age. No recollection? That’s because she bludgeoned you over the head for doing so. Please refrain.
