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 MotherHandely my mum puts a useful filter at the start of any piece of godawful advice, by stating
"as daft as it sounds....."
Apparently she just doesn't realise how daft these things sound, and are!
If only I could think of a good example.....
