You can just ignore her completely or maybe write back something that calls her out for being so weird for contacting you like "Wow, nice to hear from you! I hope everythings going okay. Thanks for looking at my pin board and for your comments, although silly me I didn't include the description that this was for charity so pinning to used items wasn't necessary. Take care and I hope to see you soon!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miffed-at-unsolicited-advice#post-259069 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 08:21:41 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 259069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be really annoyed too. That's a little creepy since you don't know her well. I'm wondering why she even cares. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miffed-at-unsolicited-advice#post-259057 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 08:12:01 +0000 matador84 259057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just tell her, "I didn't ask for your advice, but thank you!" If you don't know her that well, it won't matter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miffed-at-unsolicited-advice#post-259052 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 08:09:07 +0000 JerricaBenton 259052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be SO annoyed by that - like you said, it's not just what she said (which is annoying - like it would be one thing if she was like 'oh I see you're thinking about xyz and I just wanted to tell you it stinks and isn't worth the $' but she's basically just dumping on all of your choices as a whole!) but the most bothersome part is that she is watching what you are doing and felt the need to come out of nowhere and offer you her unwanted opinions! My first instinct would be to fire back with something rude, but I think it's best (and prob makes the best statement) to just ignore it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miffed-at-unsolicited-advice#post-259038 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 07:53:32 +0000 regberadaisy 259038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: ugh that is annoying!!! If someone told me taht I would give her whatfor and going into a whole spiel about why I purposefully <i>don't</i> want used items! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miffed-at-unsolicited-advice#post-259021 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 07:39:58 +0000 ladyfingers 259021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no problem buying things used. I just hated that she was basically watching my online activity and felt the need to comment on it as of to save me from ruin! Argh. Thanks for letting me complain :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miffed-at-unsolicited-advice#post-258979 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 06:43:05 +0000 heffalump 258979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's just one persons opinion, and just because she thinks that doesn't make it right! I felt comfortable buying some things used, but for me it was worth it to buy some things new so I wouldn't have to worry about what spit up, poo, etc was left on it. I know she was just trying to be nice and helpful, but people do things different ways and sometimes people should just back off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miffed-at-unsolicited-advice#post-258953 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 04:56:29 +0000 MsLipGloss 258953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously? *augh* That definitely falls into the category of *assvice* and would have annoyed me, too. Is it supposed to be less offensive/intrusive because she wrote it electronically instead of saying it to you personally? I bet anything she would have not had the huevos to say it to you personally. </p> <p>And mosquito bites are the worst! ((Hugs))! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miffed-at-unsolicited-advice#post-258941 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 03:40:23 +0000 ladyfingers 258941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel kind of bad being upset about this but I got a Facebook msg from a girl I dont know well. She had seen a pin board I made as part of a blog giveaway entry where we had to pin images from our dream registry. She went on and on about how yea, new stuff is cute, but I really should just buy all that stuff used because its such a waste of money.</p> <p>I was so annoyed! Because 1. She didn't even know why I was pinning that stuff and 2. I already knew everything she was telling me and 3. I don't know her well and 4. I didn't ask her advice! It made me feel like she was telling me I was being stupid and going to throw money around like an idiot.</p> <p>Idk also I've slept for an hour tonight because I'm covered in mosquito bites, so that could be it too. I know it's mild compared with other unsolicited opinions, but it still gig my goat do I needed to vent. </p>
