What acts of kindness do you find annoying?

I’ll give a couple of examples:

1. Someone trying to take items out of my hands or insisting on helping carry items when I’ve already said no thank you. I do appreciate the offer if I’m carrying a lot of stuff, I have no problem with the offer, but sometimes handing items over risks things dropping, or will take more time than I have available.

2. Rushing ahead of me to open the door for me. If I’m walking at a quick pace, don’t slow me down by getting in my way. I appreciate when someone in front of me makes sure the door doesn’t slam in front of me, but if you’re behind me, and my hands are free, and especially if I’m moving quickly, keep out of my way. If my hands are full and it’s going to be difficult to pull open the door that’s different.

None of mine are gender related, it’s not some sort of feminist mantra. I don’t care if you’re a man or a woman trying to help. In fact I think men should offer to help women with heavy bulky items.
