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?

Mmmmm tasty!Never eat a polar bear's liver. Apparently it contains a poisonously high concentration of vitamin A, and if you eat it you'll die.
This may very well be true, but let's consider the situation in which this piece of advice may come in useful:
i) You're stranded in the arctic
ii) with no food
iii) but you do have the correct equipment to take down a polar bear (and those f**kers are big!)
iv) you've already eaten every other part of the (big) bear since, let's face it, who would go for the liver first?
Now how many people does that cover?
