Do you have a friend or an acquaintance that tells you how to do things?

When we sang karaoke together, this person said I wasn't singing properly.
And proceeded to demonstrate how I should sing.
When I couldn't and didn't they got bored and said let's do something else...

My ex-husband had his nose into everything like his way was the best. Even remarked on things he didn’t know anything about. Telling me I needed to wear my glasses to read (I don’t because I am near-sighted) and how to cook. I was cooking before he ever thought about it and he was a few years older than me.

@cherokeepatti I don't like that.. Glad he's an ex husband... Idiot!

@Mellowgirl I don’t think anyone else will put up with him for long. So I have to wonder who he is trying to boss around now
Yeah...my BIL

But Karma is alive and well.....

After lecturing me for 30 minutes and disagreeing with my guidance of what documents he needed to travel to Asia.... he flew to the West coast and when he went to board the big plane for Asia, they told him he couldn't board because he didn't have the correct documents. And being stupid/cheap he had purchased a non-refundable ticket. So he is out over $2,000 because he is a twit......

(And I laughed and laughed......when he told me how wrong they were out on the coast).

I know two. My sisters. Everything must like what they said. They are like managers in the house.

I could be completely wrong but she sounds a bit controlling
Unless you were there to “ impress” them with your singing skills, you hopefully ignored them. Keep that in mind for the future, ok? Good!
@Mellowgirl If you enjoyed yourself that’s what matters.

@soar2newhighs I enjoyed myself until the person started staring at me and telling me I needed to act the song out as it turned them on. That I needed to add more attitude...
That I wasn't singing with enough effort...
Or loud enough...
They talk about me killing their buzz for asking them a specific question but actually they were killing my buzz with all these unnecessary demands
@Mellowgirl These your “friends “? If it were me, I’d separate myself from them.
At your age you don’t need anyone telling you how to be or act.

Noone likes such people. Such folks annoy me. The only way to teach the a lesson is 'Tit for Tat' because the ones who talk a lot, don't have the capacity to hear a lot.🙂
SW-User
No but I don't have a lot of friends so there's that
Yes. Each and every one of them

I thought singing karaoke and making it sound bad was all part of the experience 😆
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@Justenjoyit well I always thought I was just about singing and if you so happen to be bad it didnt matter because people generally aren't Beyonce or geroge Michael
Justenjoyit · 61-69, M
@Mellowgirl Exactly its just for fun
DDonde · 31-35, M
That sounds really annoying

@SW-User thank you... I think this person is quite insecure and likes to pick up on and point out flaws or discrepancies so they dont feel so crap.

I have no time for that anymore

@Mellowgirl That is too bad, this person needs to focus on their own solutions. I wouldn't allow it either, I am an adult now thank you very much :)
