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?

my mother, the sageWhen all the kids laughed at me at school because I looked like I bought my clothes at random from a charity shop (in fact, it was my mother who bought them), she told me:
"They're just jealous because you look different."
That's right, and they were presumably jealous of the boy who drooled and gibbered on his own until he was taken to a special school. He was different, too.
