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?

mumalways got me to deliver her xmas cards around the town with the fantastically stupid "go on your bike, it's not as far then".
Also, on way to Portsmouth ferry terminal, got overtaken by a porsche doing about 180,000 mph (as my mum sees it) "He wont get there any faster" she pointed out.
We saw him hours later, at the port funnily enough. He was at the front of the queue, and we were at the back. How I laughed at my stupid mum.
Advice: Driving faster actually gets you there quicker. Who'd have thought.
Please dont tally this comment with the one i made earlier about driving or you will make me look like the hyprocrite that I am. I am painfully self-aware.
