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.

What useless advice have you been given (or handed out) recently?

If that wasn't patronising enough, a little factoid box at the bottom of the page suggests "why not try being friendly and helpful outside of work, to your friends and family as well?" cheeky bloody...
