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?

My mother
Militant feminist. Thinks all men are evil. Regards knowledge of one's ladybits as the key to emancipation. Constantly tried to engage me in conversations about my vagina from the age of about two. Her best moment though was when she took it upon herself to lecture me on the harmlessness of masturbation when I was ten.
"It's okay, as long as you wash your hands afterwards"
Pretty sound advice, come to think of it...
