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?

dear motherthe single most infuriating piece of "advice" i've received:
me: mum have you seen (insert random but important object which i've been looking for for some time)
mother: it's where you left it
really now? obviously that hadn't crossed my mind at all during any of my searching process. i'd never dream of starting my search by looking in the place i last put it. or maybe, just *MAYBE*, i've either forgotten where it was that i put it, or i've already looked there and it's gone because someone's been tidying.
you know, just a thought.
