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?

Useless...It's something's 18th birthday, which happens to coincide with my last night at home before tootling off to university for three years of hard work racking up immeasurable debts. I've managed to corral an immense number of friends. acquaintances, and strangers to watch me finally buy my first legal drink dans le pub.
I know full well I'm going to get destroyed, for the plain and simple fact that I can and, dammit, I'm 18 and fucking indestructible. The last piece of advice my mother gives me before I leave the house?
"Don't get too drunk"
Meh... I hospitalised myself. A badly broken ankle and a pumped stomach. Happy birthday.
