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?

meat pie hilarityfunnily enough i have, in my food cupboard, a goblin meat pie - it was bought for its humourous values, and to demonstrate the British attitude to food - i especially love the ingredients lists, which of course begin with the greatest by weight ingredient, has "pork lard" at #2... and even better was the drawing - no photos here - of a pie, some yellow straight lines which i took to be chips, and some green dots which presumably are to represent peas - and, (And i cherish the moment i saw this as an archetype) at the bottom, below this pre-school standard drawing, are the immortal words....
"serving suggestion"....
