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?

The best adviceYou know when you start a new job and they give you all that Health and Safety advice telling you how to sit and how to type etc?
They KNOW that you're not going to sit like the man in the picture with all your limbs at right angles (because it's agonisingly uncomfortable). No, you're going to slouch at your desk anyway and get RSI / carpal tunnel / lumbago / curvature of the spine etc.
But you won't be able to sue them when you're a cripple because they told you not to do it. Cheers!
