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?

Parents are great for redundant adviceDay I passed my driving test, I naturally wanted to go out and have a drive around by myself, maybe pick up a few chums. So off I set, mid-afternoon, for my first solo drive.
"Be careful." I'm told as I pull away. As if I hadn't thought of that myself. Still, at least it wasn't "Don't crash."
Also, recently me and a mate tagged along on a holiday with his parents. The day we set off, his dad advises us not to run around the airport screaming that we had a bomb.
Ahh right, cos of course I thought that was standard proceedure.
