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?

Dumb yanksMy dad just returned from America, visiting some of my hillbilly relatives and living out his boyhood Dukes Of Hazzard fantasies..
He brought me back a Hershey bar, and, as I went to open it, I noticed the top of the wrapper, and the little flappy bit were labelled "HOLD HERE" and "PULL HERE" as if no one could *possibly* figure out how to open a chocolate bar...
