But at the same time some of those interactions can feel a bit like "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM".
If the communication is not in mean spirit and is polite, why be mean about it?

It's like standing in a bus stop for whatever reasons and somebody telling you the bus route was changed yesterday.
One could go "I live here and I know it better than you, hate you!" - or just appreciate people being kind.

That's a point, but let's not forget that assuming people need help can be impolite (or worse), and that some people experience it a lot more than others, for reasons that aren't good or fair.

@richlv @davey_cakes @b0rk Unsolicited information is not always experienced as kindness. Imagine you're wearing a uniform showing you work for the transit authority, there are posters all over town advertising the route change, and you've now had 20 people walk up and tell you the same thing.
