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?

Never VolunteerMy Dad (ex RAF)always drummed into me 'never volunteer for anything' - fast forward 10 years to my first job for government in London, new boss comes in and asks for volunteer for a 'special project' I kept my hand down and my mate Eddie puts his up. Eddie spends the next 2 years doing research project on the Great Barrier Reef, meets lovely girl,etc. etc. Now runs his own dive school, big house on the beach, 2 boats, own plane, drives an Aston Martin.
Thanks for the advice Dad
