day no. 15,608: kibitz

kib·itz /ˈkibits/ verb
to look on and offer unwelcome advice, especially at a card game.

Proverbs 26:17
Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.

1 Peter 4:15
But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler.

In other words, “Mind thine own beeswax.”

Meddling can often be merely offering unwelcome advice in the affairs of others. The classic example being that of giving someone else your thoughts on their game of solitaire.
