Useless adviceAs 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?

I was given some bad advice onceFor some reason my dad once decided to regale me with the little gem "if you are being chased by a Crocodile or an Aligator dont run in a straight line run in a zigzag, because they are faster than you over a short distance in a stright line but cannot turn well and so when chasing you will take longer"
I have given this info to several of my mates now, but the other day i was watching one of those "COULD YOU SURVIVE" programmes and the serious dramatic sounding american man on the telly told me to run in a straight line, now i lay awake at night wondering what to do, and also if any of the people i gave this advice to have perished at the hands (well teeth) of giant prehistoric reptiles.
its becomming an obession. what can i do?
