[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No advice, but I'm depressingly here to tell you that geography is not always the solution you think it is.

I am on a text thread that includes a woman who moved out of the area -- to a different time zone, even -- TWO YEARS AGO. And yet, this text thread is STILL full of her giving the rest of us local advice -- to drive carefully because snow is predicted or there's a rally downtown that's closing streets; a new restaurant we have to try; the highlights from someone's kid's latest high school game we have to watch; etc.

At this point, nobody responds. We're all just cheerfully grey rocking her with the occasional thumbs-up or "thx!"[/quote]

I have an acquaintance like this and everyone who knows her has gotten really fed up with her constant "advising" plus she's been called out socially on a couple of occasions including by someone who she *really* crossed a boundary with, so she's actually toned it down a lot. Not totally, but she's learned to only do this advising/guiding/controlling thing with a handful of women who have basically assigned themselves the role of her acolytes.

However, I follow her on social media and she just channels all her "I'm the expert" behavior there. She used to do it a lot on Twitter and then Twitter got stupid so now she does it on Threads. It's hilarious to me. She just really, really needs to be in a position to tell people what to do with their lives. I do worry for her kids, though. That's going to get tough eventually.[/quote]
