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?

bitch auntHaving burnt my hand on some mega-hot thing or other, my super lovely auntie helpfully advised me to run it under the tap. not the cold tap, the hot one; at full heat. that way, the heat from the burn gets cancelled out by the heat from the tap.
it hurt a lot. i flushed her driving license down the toilet in a revenge attack.
