She Went On A Girl’s Trip With Her Friend, But Her Friend’s Constant Politeness And Manners Really Annoyed Her
This 35-year-old woman recently went on a girl’s trip with one of her friends.
Apparently, she’s known her friend for a super long time. But they both lead very busy lives filled with kids and jobs– which is why they don’t always have time to catch up.
So, they planned this girl’s trip just to reconnect and have some fun with each other.
“And we did have a great trip and a lot of fun!” she prefaced.
However, there was one thing about her friend’s behavior that really irked her. She claimed to find her friend’s manners and politeness to be pretty annoying and “over the top.”
For instance, her friend would reportedly apologize for any and every tiny thing that happened.
“Me having to stand and wait while she made a purchase, having makeup out on the bathroom counter, bumping into me, etc.,” she explained.
On top of that, her friend would offer to let her taste anything that she was eating, and her friend would always try to fill up any moments of silence by asking her questions about her family members.
“Or defer to my preference in what we do or where we go,” she added.

And honestly, she really didn’t like her friend’s politeness. To her, it basically felt forced and made her feel like her friend was “removed” from her– not actually letting her in.
“Like my friend wasn’t letting her guard down with me or something,” she vented.
Still, ever since getting annoyed with her friend for being so nice and polite, she’s been left wondering whether that makes her a jerk or not.
Have you ever been friends with someone who is extremely polite? Can you understand how being so nice can feel inauthentic or guarded in friendships? At the same time, would you rather be friends with someone who is overly polite or really rude? Do you think that maybe her friend was just super excited to finally be hanging out and wanted to make sure the weekend went really nicely?
