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?

Don't turn rightA couple friends of mine were on a journey by the river once after consuming some special mushrooms. They ran into a guy who was soaked head to toe.
"Whatever you do," he said, "don't turn right. I turned right, and just look at me."
That put the scare on them. They weren't able to figure out where he would have turned right that was dangerous. It must have been a difficult walk home.
