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?

Carrers AdvisorsI can relate to eponymous on that one. My carrers advisor was a complete twunt. According to her computar my best career option was Royal Marines Commando, despite the fact I'm VERY alergic to bullets. How on earth she though that I (a scrawny 14 year old nerd, and a complete coward to boot) would last in that, or my second and third prospective careers, Merchant Navy Rating, and Nuclear Technition, I have no idea. She must have been on a forces commission, so many of my friends ended up there. Still it could be worse, her computar advised a friend of mine to be a Diver, despite the fact he CAN'T FUPPIN SWIM!
*POP*
p.s. she also had never held onto a job for more than six months in such varied careers as blackjack dealer, amature boxer, teacher of ICT, delivary van driver, and a whole host of menial jobs. Still, she had a lot of experience in a plethora of careers I suppose.
