I know where you are coming from, I had to come home from fishing in the summer cause some kids were having a swim, like I used to when I was a kid. I realised I felt like I was doing something wrong, which sucks cause when I was a kid going swimming nobody said a thing to anyone fishing or walking their dog who stopped to make sure we were safe.
Just isn't worth the hassle now.

For some reason, it always makes me smile when you run into someone and the two of your fall all over each trying to get the other to go first. It's like an excess of politeness, but I like it because there is so little of it.
Or when there is a train of random people all going in or out of a place and everyone just holds the door for the next person. And everyone says, "Thank you!" with a smile.

I always chuckle when you approach someone in a narrow space and both step to the same side to allow each other to pass, then both realise and step to the other side and keep repeating like your having a little dance with a total stranger.

Haha just re-read your post and chuckled because pretty much all the roads I drive here in SW England are little two lane roads!
I wave at people multiple times a day thanking them for stopping to be able to pass lol, get the same back every day as well.
I sometimes give a thumbs up instead with my smile but I get mildly annoyed with snooty folk who do a raised single finger instead of a wave, I flick them a middle finger back.
Yeah, childish I know.
