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 Dad was a careers adviser...... and a fuppin good one too. Sadly he didn't cover my school.
SO, I got one of his colleagues from the office. It seems however that listening to my dad and reading some of his books at home I was better suited to the careers interview than the interviewer.... This allowed me to steer the whole thing, strategically answer the cascade questionnaire type thing to get the result I wanted and basically have her there merely so I could dictate what to put in my notes.
I went to uni to do Architecture. I love Architecture, I cannot stand architects! I've worked in IT since graduation!
As they say, "the cobblers children have the worst shoes"...
