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?

Medical expertThis was in Paris on a field trip (many many years ago). We were walking through a fairly built up area, when we heard this rushing noise followed by a *thwack*.
A bloke had thrown himself off one of the buildings behind us, and was in pieces across the street. The rest seemed to pass in a blur as the ambulance came and scraped him off the floor.
It was a few hours later that it dawned on me what my mate next to me had said as it happened:
"I think he might need a doctor..."
