Useless advice
As 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?

Flying
I am scared of flying but can generally cope with it with the help of a few beers and plenty of reading material, crosswords etc to distract me during the flight. I wouldn't mind a pound for every person who's said to me "Oh don't worry, if the plane goes down there's nothing you can do about it, you're gonna die anyway" or words to that effect.
Huh? That's exactly what I'm scared of!
