3/27    Is there a better word then "uncalled-for" in the following situation:
        - X proactively offers help to Y, and the help should be useful.
        - Y doesn't appreciate X's help.
        - Therefore we say X's help is "uncalled-for".
        Thx.
        \_ 'uncalled-for' is typically for an overreaction.
           "Hey, disagreeing with me is okay, but yelling was uncalled-for."
