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?

worst advice for a 14 year old:Do well in your SATS
In Hull there's money to be had if you improve on your sats by GCSE - something to do with target grades and that. Anyway, our maths teachers tells us that SATs don't matter, because she knew our ability anyway.
Now, I tell every littler person I meet to purposefully fail their year nine exams so that they get a huge payout at GCSE time.
