Now that;s one I actually agree with.
Its the same as saying "too many chiefs and not enough indians" ie the broth will end up with too much salt because each cook comes along taking charge and no one knows what anyone else is doing, like too many chiefs giving orders those orders end up contradicting one another and the few indians doing the job get confused and the broth and the job ends up buggered.
Yes thats garble but its late!
I had two couples as my bosses once, I was the only worker (photographic laboratory) and in the end I told them all to either all bugger off bar one, or I was going to quit.....they ended up fighting and threatening one another with divorce and I put my coat on and walked out!
And my ex-hubby was a chef, at home if I was in the kitchen we always ended up rowing with his interference.....give me one cook and one chief any day!

The one that makes me want to clout the person saying it, "It could be worse".
Yeah, thanks for that, makes me feel ohhhhh so much better........not!!! Evil or Very Mad

Ooops, thats not really what the OP meant, hhhhmmmm well another one that annoys me because it's usually said so inappropriately is, "The devil finds work for idle hands."
My mother is particularly fond of telling me that on the phone if I've admitted to having a nice lazy day for a change. Rolling Eyes

It goes back to when people didnt rush out and buy new clothes, they had to mend and make do.
When you got a tiny bit of loose stitching in your britches, it was better to stitch it with just the one stitch needed, else you'd end up with a whole rip before you knew it, thus had to either have a big job of stitching lots, or worse go out and buy new britches.
It's basically saying the same as "nip it in the bud", so that proverb I actually tend to agree with.
