Lately I've been annoyed by people trying to help me when I didn't need their help. Let me explain by using these case-in-points.
1. I left the ladies' room at a clothing store. My friend remarked that the handicapped sign on the door was messed up, so I decided to look at the men's room door to see if its handicapped sign was altered as well. A boy leaving the men's room looked at me, then looked at me again and stated, "This is the men's room." "I know," I replied snidely. Seriously. Do I look like that dumb? If I had a quicker wit, I'd shoot back, "I'm a man in drag."
2. Today in the library, I decided to leave the computer lab and head to the study carrels. I left part of my backpack unzipped since I wasn't moving very far. A man walking behind me said my backpack was unzipped. Duh. I used the "I know" line again. In this situation, I think the man was trying to be helpful, but I didn't want to hear it.
Maybe I'm anti-unsolicited help.

Seriously laughed out loud at #1. Save up that "man in drag" comment, it might come in handy at some point.
I know! I always think of clever things to shoot back always several minutes later.
