What you’re doing out of the goodness of your heart might be making someone’s teeth grind in the shadows. So, let’s dive down this rabbit hole of unexpected annoyances and see how many of these “polite” habits have you secretly curling your toes!
Overuse Of “Please”
We get it; you’re polite. But please, with sugar on top, stop saying ‘please’ every second sentence.
Excessive Apologies
Sorry, but constantly saying sorry for everything, even when it’s not your fault, isn’t necessary. And yes, we forgive you!
Invading Personal Space
Leaning in too close during a conversation might indicate openness for you. Still, it could feel like an invasion of personal space for others.
Fake Compliments
“Oh, your hair looks… different.” Please spare us the phony flattery. We can tell.
Relentless Optimism
It’s great that you see the glass half full, but sometimes, it’s just half empty, and that’s okay, too.
Habitual Punctuality
You arrived 30 minutes early again?! We’re still in our pajamas!
Talking Too Softly
Speak up; we can’t hear you at the back!
Excessive Gift Giving
We appreciate the thought, but your presence, not presents, matters!
Constant Thank You Notes
Thank you note for a thank you note? We’re stuck in a politeness loop!
Always Insisting On Paying
We have wallets, too, you know!
Unwanted Advice Giving
We know you mean well, but sometimes, having only some answers is okay.
Being Overly Formal
Relax! You don’t need to use ‘sir’ or ‘ma’am’ whenever you address us.
Insisting On Doing All The Chores
It’s a BBQ, not your one-man show!
Always Letting Others Go First
It’s a doorway, not a life-or-death situation. We won’t mind if you go first.
Responding Too Fast
Take a breath; you don’t have to respond to our messages the second we send them!
Overdoing The Small Talk
We get it; the weather is nice. Can we talk about something else now?
Unnecessarily Holding Doors Open
If we’re 30 feet away, you don’t need to hold the door. It’s not a race! We appreciate your chivalry, but we’ve got this. Trust us.
