Useless advice
As 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?

Boring, but literally happened the minute before I read the new QOTW
Called up for an eye test. Asked how much it would cost. The guy asked whether it was for a first consultation or a check-up. I said "consultation", he said "£35". I asked how much a check-up was and he said "£35".
Numpty.
