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?

Scariest advice I ever heardI was in a KFC after seeing Smashing Pumpkins at Wembley about 10 years ago, when the door burst open. Everybody turned around to see a dirty, hairy, bearded old man dressed in only a raincoat, carrying a bottle of Johnson's Baby Lotion.
As he gyrated his pelvis back and forth, he offered this nugget of wisdom:
"And you'll go nyeeeh nyeeeh nyeeeh, and you're all gonna do it."
Then he left.
Needless to say, I haven't done it yet.
