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?

Fountain of useless knowledgeGod bless my Dad. He has a vast knowledge of pretty much everything, even that really obscure crap that wins you the top prizes on daytime TV quizzes. But he doesn't half come out with some stupid advice, almost always about trust. A couple of his pearls of wisdom include, "Never trust a man who drives a car wearing a hat" and "never trust anything with more limbs than you".
