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?

We had a work meeting once,where we met this new manager for the centre. She had the reputation back then as being a bit of an ice-maiden, and our manager advised us to be on best behavior.
We meet her, and are all formally introduced. She gives us a brief well-practised introduction about herself, then asks us each in turn for our name, what our hobbies are and any advice we could give her. She goes past myself and Gethin (the Welshiest man in Wales), and then she reaches Simon. Simon is quite bored with this and decides to go a bit more up-tempo.
"My name's Simon....and...errrr....if you want porn, I'm your man" and points at her.
Her gob hit the floor. Not the kind of advice she was after apparently.
