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?

My Careers Advice...Had to fill in the questionnaire etc. Got fed through computer, and then we sat down with an advisor who showed us the computer results in the form of lots of lines leading from our name to various options, in varying degrees of strength (i.e. the thickest, darkest line was our best choice of profession).
I was a tad sceptical anyway, but my unbelief was confirmed when the strongest line led to "policewoman".
I'm a classical musician. WTF? The lines leading to "the performing arts" or "working in media" weren't even there.
Stupid machine. I now work in the performing arts.
