I guess I’m somewhat confused because there was an earlier claim that one had no idea why anyone would be frustrated, but clearly you seem to have a good idea of why someone would seemingly refuse help.
Again we were all doing the same thing and I just suggested using my shit to go faster. One other idea is that there are a few layers of interactions, people prefer suggestions from those they trust, or those they respect. I didn't have that at the time somehow.
I would suspect it's only absurd because of one's personal lack of understanding of the situation. I can only speculate the full situation, but I can imagine a hypothetical situation where a bunch of accountants joke in camraderie about how much their accounting jobs suck, but when someone actually tries to resolve this, the "fixer" is actually trying to fix a non-problem due to lack of social insight and thus the fixer seems absurd.
People forcing their way into your problems are very annoying, again I know I do that at times but I've stopped doing that almost entirely and basically try to listen more than I speak.
