in Chit-Chat
When a complete stranger, either online or in real life, approaches you, unsolicited, and is overly nice to you, for no apparent reason, are you:

A. Cautious, and curious as to what scam they are trying to pull

B. Delighted, that the world is full of such super-dee-duper nice people

C. Annoyed, because overly happy people are clearly annoying

D. Fearful, because they're setting you up for an assault and are very likely a carrier of multiple diseases

    Gotta go with A. I seem to always be on the defensive in situations like that.

    If the person looks like a creeper. Cautious

    If the person is cute. Delighted.

    If the person is like me. Annoyed.

    If the person is holding a gun pointed towards me. Fearful

    Annoyed, I don't mind genuinely nice people but I'd take cold hard brutal honesty over faux-'You're awesome'-nicety any day of the week! I can handle the truth! All of this pretend-niceness is just another buffer that people seem to need these days in this PC, don't call a spade a spade world!

    sod off and get buggered.

    Oh, you mean when, I , OK, never mind. I'm generally distrustful of "overly nice" folks, they usually want something.

    Me too. It's a curse. I'm hoping to one day come out of my shell.

    i have to go with a mix of A and B. I am very friendly and if they are friendly to me.. :). however.. i do move forward with caution. sometimes friendly turns to creepy very fast.

    B.

    Is this really that uncommon in everyone's life? I encounter very nice people every day.

    Unless they ask you for money or suggest you go somewhere more "private" to chat, there is no reason to throw shade at someone who is nice out in public.
