This is a question Useless advice

As a new parent, people seem to think it's OK to pass on any and every old wives tale possible. "Don't hug him too much". What? Quite what possesses people to pass on baseless, idiotic, useless advice I don't know.

That said, I quite often give car drivers directions and then, after they've moved off, realise that I've sent them down a bike-only route, so I can give as good as I get.

What useless advice have you been given (or handed out) recently?

never listen to me
seriously, don't, I possibly give the worst advice ever.

once my friend was telling me something, my advice involved the words "get up and boogy"

I regularly tell people to hit things, or rawr at them.

Linked to the hit it thing. Once in year 9 in maths, me and my friend were a bit hyper. She was telling me how her finger hurt, I told her if she hit it really hard with a text book it'd feel better.

She only went and listened to me didn't she? Her finger was never the same again.

In my defense, when the time calls for it, I do try and give proper advice.
