People sometimes make me wanna headdesk

You know how there's always this person you know...who always seems to have an overbearing interest in the most minute or mundane facets of your life?

It could be the random acquaintance who smiles sweetly at you in the lift while asking you what you did to your hair to make it look like that? Or that friend who always seems just a little bit too involved in your fashion sense or how much you weigh. And I'm pretty damn sure that everyone has a distant relative who never fails to remind you, without a hint of subtlety,  just how you don't measure up to Cousin So And So and then proceeds to enthusiastically list all the things you should do to make up for your shortcomings.

The burning question is...WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS? Is it some sort of complex? Some subconscious need to express superiority? Genuine concern for  my being? Sometimes it takes all my will power not to snark back "I guess you haven't really looked in the mirror lately either".

People should just give their opinion when it's asked for...and the world will be a happy happy place.
