Am I grumpy or are some people just bloody irritating

I'm sure they aren't meaning to be, but some people have no personal boundaries whatsoever.
In work, we were sitting on chairs and a woman wanted to see something in front of me. She just put her hand on my chair and leaned right over me, so her long hair was practically in my face. I moved my chair back so she could get in and she said 'It's ok, you don't need to do that.' Well I want to, because you are right in my personal space. She could have just said excuse me.
Then, we had to fill out some paperwork, some of it was an assessment. She just turned around and stared at what I was writing, watching me write.
I said to her, "Do you need help with it?"
She said yes, and so I helped her. That's all she needed to do. Sat trying to copy my answers isn't necessary.

We had a coffee break and she decided to spend hers finishing the documents which is fine. I took myself off into the corner for a coffee and to use my phone for a bit. She decided to ask me for the answers for every question even though she saw I was busy, not even apologising for interrupting my break. I helped her with a couple then excused myself and left outside to actually get a break.

Luckily I won't see her after today. Maybe I'm miserable. I don't mind helping her but she seems to have zero boundaries whatsoever and no concept of personal space. What do you do with this?

YANBU. Some people just are bloody irritating.
And increasingly I’d change that to ‘a lot of them’.

But that’s probably because I’m now a fully paid-up GOB. (Grumpy Old Bag.)

If one person is annoying, it’s them if a lot of people are, it’s you

After my husband's death among the things I kept were his Grumpy Old Man t-shirts!
