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?

"Don't swallow bubblegum...""...because it will stick your insides together and kill you."
Delivered by my mother in the middle of Safeway's to a seven-year old me. Seconds after I'd swallowed my bubblegum.
Cue me crying, coughing and windmilling frantically into a large display pyramid of bog roll. The description "complete hysteria" doesn't even begin to do it justice.
Thanks, mum.
