This is a question 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?

I often get asked advice on purchases, such as "How long will this bottle of milk last me" or "How long will £1 of gas last me?"

Not "How long until it goes off" but "How long until I use it all." What the fuck?!
