I understand because I have been on both sides of this. Unless people are really pushy and persistent about their advice I take it as well-meaning empathy -- one of the few redeeming qualities of human beings. Otherwise, to the advice giver, it comes across as being shouted and yelled at when all you did is hold the door for a person.
