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?

The Wonderful Joys of ComputingMy computing lecturer has to be one of the most inept people at teaching in the world. Seriously, If thats all it takes to get a job at my college then Im attending an interview and reading from the textbook whilst also becoming a fat a frumpy old woman whos lost all but one marble.
Anyway, the other week whilst preparing for an exam, she asked a question about internet protocols. One chap answered with quite a modern, upto date answer only for her to respond...
"Yes, that is correct. In fact its a model answer"
The student smiled
"However...don't write it in your exam, its wrong and you'll lose marks. And when you're sitting there crying and in dispair in your exam, don't say I didn't warn you because I did. But still, its right, just don't write that down, because, well...I said so"
And she just stopped...no explaination, just froze in time. Its as if she'd over heated and crashed. It wasn't until about 6 minutes later when someone asked if she was ok that she continued with the lesson...
