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?

cheer upoh, and the other most useless tidbit which gets offered up
"cheer up! it might never happen/it's not that bad"
how the f*ck would you know?
1. chances are it's already happened which is why i'm looking miserable at the moment
2. you don't even know what's put the miserable expression on my face. for all you know i could've just been diagnosed with leukemia! cock off!
3. if i'm down it's usually for a good reason, and some cheery optimistic twunt trying to share their "everything is so great" view is the last thing that's going to make all the bad things in my little world go away. share your rays of sunshine with people in the same mood as you kthxbye.
i should emphasise that i'm not some wrist-slashing emo kiddie and i'm rarely down, but when i am don't go trying to cheer me up because it just makes me angry at you which in turn makes me feel guilty and consequently more depressed.
EDIT: Curses! ThatBlokeOverThere beat me to it! Ah well, vote for me anyway - mine's longer!
