Useless advice
As 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?

« Go Back
I was indeed once told
'Smile, it might never happen!'
As the worst bereavement imaginable had just hit my family, and I and everyone close to me were still stumbling about in a haze of shock and grief, I think my riposte of 'It already has!' was quite witty.
