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?

NVQ Customer ServicesWas advised by my old boss to try this course as it would further my chances of promotion within his company. I'd just finished 3 years of A Levels and I thought that this would be a bit of a space-filler, so I reluctantly agreed.
After being in the first lecture for 30 minutes and realising that I was the only person there who could read, I was a bit reluctant to continue the course. We'd reached the Health and Safety At Work Act, and I was being asked what the dangers were in the workplace.
The lecturer woman said at one point "You see, even the coffee machine can be dangerous". I burst out laughing at this stage.
"What's so funny?" she replies?
"Coffee machine, fucking deadly in the wrong hands luv" I respond, then promptly get up and leave, never to return.
