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 keep telling the people ...

don't eat yellow snow

I'd say that's useful advice. Or do you know something I don't?

Do as i say, not as I do. WTF kinda stuff is that?

Also useful. I often have pretty good advice to give but since I have flaws like everyone else I don't always practice what I preach, hence "do as I say and not as I do".

Just a random thought, you would make an excellent school teacher. Your eloquent and find reasons for everything.

Here's some advice; whatever you do, ignore any advice I give you!
