But the point OP is making is that it's entirely possible that the person doing this _does_ see it as them being as helpful as possible. That doesn't mean it doesn't suck, or that it isn't annoying, though. I dunno, just seems like a coin toss to me: was this backed by good intentions or not? Without other "evidence", assuming that it was well-meaning but misguided feels better for _both_ of us (at least in my experience).
Good intentions don’t excuse bad behavior, and shouldn’t oblige one to silently accept it.
Having good intentions doesn't give a free pass to be obnoxious.
