If you're in a public place, within earshot, you can't be surprised if someone else chimes in. She was trying to be helpful. There are similar examples several times a day on MFP.

I've had women trainers who looked terrible approach me with their advice.

I just say thank you and smile.

This thread confirms that people will be offended by anything.

Word.

"How dare you be so judgmental!?" says the judgmental people.

ive been told this more than I can count since grade school. instead of being annoyed, educate the person why its not right. really some people just don't know any better because that's what they've been told all of their life.

Like OMG .. Seriously dude.. You're body is awful.. I didn't ask for your opinion..

WOW .. you're shallow!!!


Thanks for telling us all!

I agree. That dumb woman had the nerve to try to voice her opinion in a conversation. Can't wait to get on the internet so strangers can rip her apart!

They just don't understand her lemon styles.

I can tell just by the reaction who the know-it-all advice givers are. Yes, I even recognize you from a different long-ago post.

I'm not even surprised this happened to you. I can't count the number of times people in worse shape than me give me uanasked for advice on how to get in shape. I've also been told how to get rich by people who have no money.

I loved that episode. lol

The nerve of that unfit woman!!!

Of course, there are women with fantastic bodies through genetics that would also give that same advice, but she clearly had no place in offering her opinion.


Or, ya know, you could have explained to her why that type of mindset is incorrect. But judging feels better, right?

I put on my "Mofo where my money?" face on at the gym, no one dares to talk to me much worse offer me advice.

Unsolicited advice is annoying. Unsolicited advice from someone who appears to not know what they're talking about is really annoying. Judging a book by it's cover is offensive.

Be annoyed because someone came up to you and offered you stupid advice. Not because she offered you stupid advice but didn't look good enough to be offering advice.

Agreed

I don't care enough to have an opinion, but it's the internet so I'm saying something. So "something."

Maybe I misread the post, but ... didn't they do just that?

Both crossfit woman and I said, "no that doesn't work. Body Pump will not give these muscles. You need to lift heavy to change your body and gain muscles."

I didn't read where they just looked at each other and said, "Ew. Is SHE talking to US?!"

But I lack the diviniation skillz of others.

Yes....but then she said WHY she was REALLY annoyed. Because the woman's body wasn't up to her standards. We all pretty much started out not being in shape...so should we judge someone who doesn't look as good as us for that reason? Seems a bit hypocritical, IMO.

I was so annoyed...If I thought the other woman had a great body then I would have asked her. But I didn't. Obviously... I was not impressed with your body b/c I did not ask you

I suggest taking Ancient Runes next year.

This is the age of Facebook at work. Everyone thinks that everyone else should hear, digest and accept their opinions, asked for or not. Then those same people, if their opinions are not appreciated, especially when not asked for, come out of the woodwork crying, 'FOUL!'

If someone doesn't ask for your opinion, especially if you aren't a part of the conversation and your opinion is being offered as 'fact', don't be surprised if people find you an annoying know-it-all.

Me thinks a lot of the people that think the OP is being rude or overreacting, are guilty of handing out their opinions to strangers.

TL;DR Don't be butthurt if strangers aren't interested in your unsolicited opinion or are *gasp* annoyed by your sharing of inaccurate knowledge.
