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?

Sex Edmy entire sexual education came as i was walking home from school with my mum. I think I was about 11 and mentioned a very pretty girl I'd met that day.
My mum stomps along - her mind deciding if this is the time to have "THE CONVERSATION" - the whirring stops, yes it's time, and the advice flows:
"Never have sex with a girl unless you are prepared to use her toothbrush"
Which today I find very astute and often something I think about as a lovely female friend 'cleans her teeth' , but back then - explaining what "having sex" was might have helped more than a discussion of dental hygiene.
