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?

Yes, careers advisers are the most useless people...I did a test on a computer which asked me how much I liked or disliked something. E.G:
Working as a group - Like very much / Like / Neither like nor dislike / Dislike / Dislike very much
I answered about 60 questions similar to this, then went into the room to have my "chat" with the careers adviser. How she kept a straight face I don't know.
"Yes Nick, we have found that your ideal career would be:
T.V Antenna installer."
She tried everything in her power to convince me to go down this route, but in the end I told her I'd "consider it" and left.
I am now at university. I am not studying TV antenna installation.
