We have a new arcade style game in our break area, a stand up box that has over 100 games on it. One of them is a bubble popper and I was one of the first people to play it and get my name on the board. A co-worker came along and wiped me off the board, which you know, happens, and it's trivial in the scope of things. I was determined to get back on the score board, not really caring where I placed as long as I placed and enjoying myself when co-worker in the #1 spot (who's a guy) comes up to the machine.
"I'm going to give you some pointers." he says.
"I didn't ask for pointers." I reply, while playing.
"Well, today, they're free of charge." he says, leaning on the game.
"And I still wouldn't want them." says I, irritated at this unsolicited "assistance".
Normally this is a reasonably cool dude, and I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt in retrospect, but in the moment, I was just like, NOPE.
