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?

Wise words, my arse..."Don't wear your coat indoors, you'll not feel the benefit when you go outside..."
What a pointless waste of oxygen that phrase is. Maybe I should just walk round naked and only put on any clothing prior to stepping out of the door?
Most useless piece of advice I heard to today came from the guy in the office next door who advised a girl who's preparing for a really important interview to...
"Ask Rakky if you have any technical questions. She's really good at Biochemistry."
She asked me 5 questions. I could answer one of them. And that was "Where are the toilets?"
