Nice gestures that actually annoy people
Being polite is great, but apparently some people can be a little too nice. A thread on a popular forum Reddit has put together a collection of “nice” gestures that actually annoy people. You’ll be surprised how these gestures are interpreted:
1. “Giving me the right of way when driving if they actually have the right of way.”
- OzTheMalefic
2. “Seeing me eating alone and insisting that I need company. No, I don’t need company; not everyone needs company at a meal. Leave me alone.”
- Ms_DragonCat
3. “When the worker at Subway spends five minutes making my sandwich and then thanks me. Always makes me feel bad.”
- RekNepZ
4. “Holding the door for someone who is not within 3-4 steps of the same door. I feel obligated to rush since they are holding it. Please stop doing this.”
- SeeDeeLow69
5. “Please don’t offer me condolences because I have a disability. Though I often get frustrated by it, i’m not sad about it and you don’t have to be either.”
- blindjo
6. “Slow down or stop for me to cross the street when I would rather they went ahead. Not nice to have someone waiting on you, and the car goes a heck-of-a-lot faster!”
- CrabWoodsman
7. “I hate it when store employees ask a million times if they can help me find anything. Just let me shop in peace!”
- tjenks13
8. “Someone 20 years younger than me calling me sweetheart or honey. They mean well, but it’s very condescending.”
- kmodisette
