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?

Per LitreMeny budget supermarkets now have little subscript prices under the total cost. For instance a pack of bog-roll will have a price in pence per sheet, undernaeth the price for the lot.
I found this to be odd as the mangement seem to go batshit insane if they catch you breaking open the coco pops to get the 50g you can afford*. But the other day I found tesco's advising me that a liter bottle of gin that cost £19.98 worked out at "£19.98 per liter"
I therefore balence out this with the good advice that making comedy spacker noises in you r local tescos** over this sort of thing is not the best way to draw ateention to your self.
*as proved in scientifc double blind experiments
**this happened in hull, the locals thought iwas trying to converse in thier language. how embarrasing for
