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?

my dad would usually pay me when i worked for him in his stained glass studio
usually he'd take forever to pay me as he's a bit tight on money himself. when he failed to make good when i asked him for my pay, here came the immortal line, "i'd rather owe it to you than cheat you out of it"
not really advice, but i do use the line myself these days when i borrow money from friends...
