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?

anatomya guy I went to school with was adamant that your "thigh" was the area along your side between your hip and your armpit. Obviously I had to contest this vigorously with hnnnngggg noises and general implications that he was retarded, which of course progressed to an actual fight, but I was impeded by the fact that I wasn't allowed to actually punch the weaselly git because he'd had some sort of heart surgery and the rumour round school was that "he would probably die if anyone hit him". I didn't want to be the one to prove this rumour to be true so ended up having to concede. I spent the rest of the day convincing him, successfully, that the area between his hip and his knee was called his "gusset".
um, so he'd obviously had some bad advice about that sort of thing in teh first place, from somewhere.
