What was the first wives tale or urban legend you found to be a lie?

For me, it was waiting 30 minutes after you eat to go swimming.
I was around 8 and was at a birthday party, we had loads of pizza and cake and all the other kids were swimming.
As my mom told me to do, I was sitting on the edge of the pool waiting out my 30 minutes.
My friend's mom asked why I wasn't swimming like all of the other kids, she politely told me it wasn't true so I hopped in and swam for what seemed like hours.
Still haven't told my mom to this day... she was (and prob still is) adamant that we never swam right after eating.

It really doesn't make you go blind or get hairy palms.

I drank tons of Mountain Dew as a kid and still managed to knock up my ex.

praying mantis will spit in your eye and make you go blind. Still not sure if not entirely untrue so I keep my distance.

I found one to be true.
If you stay up all night Christmas Eve, Santa doesn't visit your house.
