uninvited advice

Guidance nobody requested

Uninvited advice is guidance or suggestions offered when no one asked for them.

The phrase carries a negative connotation—the advice may be unwelcome, presumptuous, or condescending: She's always full of uninvited advice about my parenting.

The giver assumes they know better; the recipient often wishes they'd kept quiet.
