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?

All I need...
My dad's a corker for statin' the bleedin' hobvious!
When stating I would like to work for myself in the future when I've got a bit of cash in the bank, my dad advised that I should indeed work for myself. Great so far. Good idea, albeit mine.
I'm a techy by trade, so I said whatever I end up doing would probably be web-based, but it was hard to spot a new service to provide, or an existing service to do better or cheaper. When I do spot it, I'll grab the chance and set something up.
Dad: "What you need is an idea."
Cheers Dad. Thanks for that. Sorted.
