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?

'Smile, it might never happen'There are several responses to this, all involving withering stares.
'Too late, it already has.'
'I'm going to put flowers on a grave.'
'You're right, it won't.'
'And smiling is going to help if it does is it?'
'Would you like to see my scars?'
'The blood won't come off.'
'They always scream when they see the clown suit.'
Or my personal favourite: punching them in the face, slitting their throat and wanking into the wound before dumping the body in a thresher, followed by the witty reposte 'Pardon?'
Any advice given without knowing what the situation is is almost always useless.
As I type this it's midnight where my hands are and 2am where my bell end is.
