Useless advice
As 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's bestest!
I live in an area of a large city that is predominately muslim. I was telling Dad how it can be quite intimidating, in the early evening, due to large groups of young lads and their rather suspect idea of how to talk to white females. Dad's solution? Carry bacon with me. Any trouble throw it at them and they'll run away. Yeah sure dad, that or it'll piss them right off and i'll get a good kicking!
