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?

Dad *sigh*My old man comes out with all sorts of quasi-military pish all the time. It doesn't help that he thinks I am some sort of homocidal maniac with anger management issues like him [which I am not].
So when he is on the phone and I am telling him of a hard day at the office and the debate around controlable costs, sales targets and wage flex, he starts going on about "keeping your powder dry" [I think this means getting my facts right before saying something]
"just march on" [its not worth the hassle, perhaps?]
"keep your mouth shut and your hands to your self" [eh? either he thinks I am especially handy when provoked or I am a serial sexual deviant]
There are so many more but what really gets me is when I ignore what he is saying and he says "Oi Cunto! I said..[choose pointless piece of advice from previous selections]"
