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?

Quantum weather.This morning I was leaving the house and my mum rushed after me to remind me of things I hadn't in fact forgotten, as mums are prone to doing.
"Have you got your lunch?"
"Yes mum."
"Here's the number of my massagist in case you need to call me from school."
"Thanks mum."
"Here's an umbrella, the weather forecast says it'll storm!"
"Thanks mum."
"And don't forget sunscreen and a hat, because the weather forecast says it'll be 34c!"
"Thanks mu- what?"
