Unsolicited Advice.
How the heck do you handle folks who have absolutely no freakin' clue what they're talking about but are overly eager to offer you advice?
Because right now, I am pretty much about to drop kick a certain someone the next time they chime in thinking they know what the hell they're talking about.
There are only 4 conditions on which I'll accept unsolicited advice:
1. When it comes from my husband.
2. When it comes from my mother.
3. When it comes from my father.
4. When it comes from someone who is clearly qualified has the grounds to be offering said advice.
KTHXBAI!

drop kick for sure is in order. unless it was me :). later.
I am totally giving unsolicited advice here.
Secondly, I am totally qualified... on any subject. Just ask. Even Leah asks about her physics doomahickies. And I totally answer.
Everyone is always an authority, arent they? And you gotta love hanging around those people who "know everything" or simply just "know more than you do". HA!
I tend to take a three step approach:
1. Nod, smile, ignore. Hope it doesn't happen again.
2. Ask them nicely to STFU
3. Drop-kick
wow. how annoying! :)
I have absolutely no advice here.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Best wishes for happy running.
Hmm......I'd give you some advice here but I don't fall into any of the defined categories...so oh well!
I have some suggestions on how you can handle unsolicited advice.
But first, here are some of my ideas to live by:
1) Toast always tends to fall butter-side down. That's why you should use canola spread intead of real butter.
2) Pug dogs have exquisite tastes and are able to identify your finest clothing in order to shed all over it. That's why you should only dress like a bum every day. (I've tried this and it works!)
3) Your husband and John McCain may be secretly plotting against you. Be sure to look suspicious when either one is talking.
4) Beware of unsolicited advice from smart aleck blogger friends. (And by that I mean everyone but me.)
Heed my advice. You'll thank me for it later.
Hey, why is everyone suddenly lookng at me so suspiciously?!
