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?

Think of the starving children in AfricaAnd eating food I don't want will help them...how?
My mum had a friend when she was little who, when told by her mother, "Think of the starving poor in China" (that tells you how old my mum is!) put her leftovers into an envelope and addressed it "To the Starving Poor in China"
