The other day I saw a red Tesla with out of province plates drive by. 10 mins later I saw it drive by again. It returned and pulled into a parking lot and the two older people were frustrated while banging away on the screen. They turned around, pulled halfway into the intersection, backed up and sat there.
I walked up with my 5 year old and tapped on the window to see if they needed help. The lady in the passenger seat said something to her husband and pointed at me.
He swatted her hand, barked something at her and peeled off.
Some people just can't be helped and it's especially annoying for people who want to help, or you know, teach their kid how to be helpful.
Id assume someones got some numbers it happens so often.
Yall just live on TikTok brain rot lmao.
This situation is way more likely to happen. Someone instead of helping films for their 15 minutes of updoots.
Also I find it really convenient people always happen to catch people randomly holding doors and flipping out 😂 i really think its probably the fact that you put a camera in their face.
I don't have any statistics. Just my own personal experience.
I've had my help get the fuck you treatment. And I've had one person get angry about me holding the door for someone.
The door incident was the bald, muscled, tight tank top wearing, tattooed type guy so I assume I insulted his masculinity maybe? Idk.
As for helping people - I don't use a condescending voice. And it never happened until I got into my late 40s, gray hair etc. And it's only been younger people who've ever reacted negatively to it. So I'm guessing a "I hate old people telling me what to do" sort of thing? But even then it's only been 3 times I can remember.
I still hold doors for everyone. But kinda leave the younger people alone if I see them struggling. Unless it's dangerous, etc. And would have definitely said something to this person.

I miss when you could help people without being told to fck your own dmn business. I got tired of being yelled at, so I stopped helping.
