I mean, you could always start with just talking to your "friend" and letting them know that you'd appreciate it if they'd keep their advice to themselves until/unless you ask, but since you managed to write your little rant on the internet, hopefully you're smart enough to know that already...

Um….yes you did. Why are you wasting my time with story time then? What are the reasons why you are telling me this?

That’s not necessarily how conversations work. It’s more like

Busy body: Hi Beth, how’re you?
Beth: I’m ok, just working with my contractor who’s running behind schedule. Annoying, right? (Meant casually). How’re you,BB?
Bb: what? You need to tell him to get his act together or you’ll sue him!! I had a contractor who was 6 months behind schedule and I sent him a lawyer letter, blah blah. You MUST do that!!’
