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?

From a Chinese FriendShe was suffering from interfering parents trying to encourage her to marry a Chinese boy and was complaining about it to me.
She sighed deeply, look at me seriously and said to me, "Never be Chinese."
Oh, alright then.
Which reminds me...not quite advice, but it made me smile.
A Dad and 7 year old daughter were reading the Sunday papers when Will Young told everyone he was gay. The little girl said "Oh no. He should never have said that. He'll never get a girlfriend now."
