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?

nan and grandadi was a sickly, feverish child. Any cold i caught often turned into fever and soon deliriousness. Many time with mad ravings about having to wash planes.....
anyway, N&G were carin for me one day while me mom was at work. I had a fever but was convinced i was cold. N&G said if i feel cold i should wrap up and get in bed. i tried to convince them i "get" this way and should cool down. But this fell on deafening ears and to bed i went.
mom came home two hours later where she found off my face with bacteria communing with god* and dumped me in an ice bath to avoid a trip to the hospital.
*may have been pixies - not sure - couldnt actually remember my name, age, location, spiritual leanings at the time. Apparently i was good at speaking in tounge-ish though....
