Anyone other then myself experience this problem and what do you do, if anything, about it?
Kibitzer "An onlooker who offers unwanted advice"
In my RV Retirement Park and many others I visit, if you dare raise the hood on your RV or Car, HERE THEY COME IN DROVES (its like radar, the whole park knows about it in 60 seconds from hood raising) You know the "Old Farts" like myself lol loaded with questions and more questions driving you nuts and you should do this or that and how to fix it or you're not doing something right and they're all experts. I've had dudes stick their head or get right in the way of where I'm trying to work so bad I cant even get in there myself so I just walk off or go inside lol
At a buddys park he was fixing the roof on his storage shed and here they all came (none of whom were able or offered to actually do any physical work to help) WITH LAWN CHAIRS AND LEMONADE JUGS PLANNING TO STAY THE DAY telling him he needs to do this or that or he's not doing something right until he has to just quit and go inside.
Other day I'm out in front of my shop fabricating a home made combination tow dolly and golf cart trailer and here they come "You sure that tongue is strong enough" to which I reply "NO not the way it is now and that's why I going to reinforce it" Then "I would have placed the golf cart farther back" to which I reply "Well if so then the car runs into it and smashes it, I sort of measured for that you know" Then, "How is the car tied down" to which I reply " With the new DOT rated tie down straps I bought which are at the house until I get to mounting them"
One more gripe lol For the convenience of neighbors I keep a 25 ft air hose on a nice hook loop where its all rolled up nice and neat with an air chuck and tire gauge and a blow gun on the side of the shop on a gravel drive just off the road. So far so good for me or neighbors right??? BUT I OFTEN GO DOWN AND FIND SOMEONE HAS USED IT (which Im glad) BUT INSTEAD OF TAKING 30 SECONDS TO ROLL IT UP THEY LET IT LAY IN THE DRIVE OR ELSE ALL KINKED UP grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Okay, on this site PEOPLE ASK FOR ADVICE and that is different then the above. Years ago an older buddy told me I would grow up to be a grouchy old man like he was lol Maybe I'm just as guilty as some of the above but try not to offer advice until I'm asked.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
