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?

oohi would say on a sensible note worst advice ever I've been told is that you should leave babies to cry. Anyone tells me that can fuck right off. I'm not damaging my child's brain cos of some weird idea babies get spoilt when cuddled. It's all bollocks when you know the facts about neurological development in infants.
On a lighter note, my Mum telling me as a teenager that oral sex was an evil disgusting thing to do was probably the stupidest thing I've been told.
While on that train of thought I have given out the advice to an overdue woman to swallow. The prostaglandins in semen are better absorbed through the stomach and can help start labour off.
