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?

Trapped in an elevatorWhen trapped in an elevator between floors at work a couple of years ago, the building's aged caretaker shouted reassuring messages of hope to the pair of us stuck inside, then told us he was going to the basement to check the control panels (or something).
"Don't go anywhere!" he advised us.
