If you have a problem and don’t ask for a solution, then I’d try not to be annoyed with you if you’re annoyed at being offered one. Maybe you already know exactly what you’re going to do but just want to get some complaining in first. Nothing wrong with that.
I don’t know, it’s less annoying then coming to you in tears and then getting annoyed when provided with a solution.
(Although that may depend on whether you consider your friends agents … hmm.)

I suspect kalium would downgrade someone from friend status if that happened once, which does map on to the annoyance difference.
… I have no idea why I didn’t realise that. Thank you.
