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?

CoathangersI once caught a mate hanging his jackets and shirts the wrong way round on plastic coat-hangers so that, instead of following the line of the cloth, the arms of coathangers pointed backwards.
The reason for this was delivered as advice along the lines of "never make your clothes bow down or you'll be bowing down to everyone."
I didn't argue with this sage bit of advice. If he's willing to believe that in the first place, nothing I or anyone else could say would convince him he's wrong.
