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?

I was advised by several peopleNot to stand in my front yard in a children's wading pool filled with custard, wearing a Batman costume and loudly swearing at passers-by.
As I pointed out at the time, if they'd fucking well told me that half an hour earlier it might've made a fucking difference.
