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?

BurnsIn Poland, they say you should touch your earlobe if you get burned.
My wife is Polish. We were watching a program about a woman whose face burned off in a car crash and who had to have a face transplant.
Quick as a flash, I said, "She should have touched her ear, shouldn't she?"
"Kretyn," she answered.
