This is a question 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?

A nugget of wisdom from a neighbour who passed away years ago...
This old chap, Mr McIntyre lived next to my mum all his days and he used to tell me all sorts of nonsense but the one which I loved and it's the only one I remember to this day is:

"Remember to always eat yer porridge laddie. That way your body will be strong and you'll no wake up dead"



Erm. Cheers Mr McIntyre. To be honest I do eat a lot of porridge and have never woken up dead...I don't think.

Yours
