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?

Death by knife lickingAfter being caught licking a knife by her dentist mother, a mate of mine was told if she kept doing that she'd cut her tongue, and you can't put a plaster on your tongue, so she'd bleed to death.
Not sure if that's medically accurate; but she's never licked a knife since and hasn't bled to death, so I guess it must be good advice.
