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?

Pshe Sex talkBack in the days of yore (2005), my year 10 tutor was also my drama teacher.
As a dirty old man he gave us this sound advice about condom usage in a Pshe lesson one day - and I quote:
"If you're going to go swimming in foreign waters, always wear your wellington boots"
Bearing in mind I live near swindon (home of the rampant std) and am somewhat of a geek.
Still, doesn't top the advice from my uncle at the tender age of eleven.
"When shacking up with a bird, consolidate a sober person on your catch. It might just save your credibility"
