When I said I was frustrated by people's reaction it wasn't entirely about their reasons but the way they refuse too. It's still an odd sequence to hear someone complain everyday then when you say "hey I have this thing" you get a "nono I dont need that". Still appear absurd.

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.
