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?

Bad breathAs a kid, if ever my breath was bad, my mother wouldn't ask if I'd been brushing my teeth properly. Oh, no, not for her the obvious. No, she would ask if I'd been going to the to the toilet OK and offer me some Andrew's Liver Salts.
Amazingly I recently discovered that in extreme cases constipation can give you bad breath, so there may have been something in the liver salts advice. That said, I'd still go with the toothbrushing instead.
