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?

My aunt.My Aunt has this odd affection for insects. During the summer I'd have to go into a room that always had at least one bee or wasp trapped in it at least several times a day. Her advice - "Don't kill any of them!"
So I whipped out the can of raid and sprayed the fuckers until they were dead. The point of this story? I've never once been stung by an insect.
