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?

Legless re: your missus...
I used to work as head of medical staffing in a hospital up until very recently and (assuming you're somewhere in Europe) does your missus know that there is no WAY she or any other "doctor in training" (!) is meant to be working over 56 hours per week as it's in breach of the EWTD? Her hospital could be fined £5,000 per day for such a breach. Never mind what it must be doing to her.
I take my hat off to her though qualifying as an Orthopod - any woman who can stick out that macho, posturing, tailfanning culture must be pretty cool.
Apologies for dullness. Moving back on topic - useless advice:
Work for the NHS. It's a positive, rewarding job for life.
Which is why I'm now redundant, following 12 weeks off with work-related stress. Cheers, then.
