I've seen people and even know some who pretend to be helpful but in reality, they are boosting their own ego and making themselves look better to gain attention.

In that case I would have added to my "no thank you" that I was almost finished anyway & was just wrapping it up.
Yes, I have had offers to help unload my truck when I bring home my 50lb bags of feed for my horse. Seriously, I unload it when it is convenient for me.....I don't want to call for help & wait.
However I do know my limits & I definitely need help with the 80lb bales of hay. When they were smaller (50lb) I could unload & stack them myself. Also after oral surgery it was nice to have the help so I could just sleep & recover.
I have helped many people but I always ask if I can help first but most of the time I have a sense they could use help before I ask.
However when I have been the first person at an accident I don't ask I just get the needed help called & handle what is needed.
Different situations regarding need for help should be assessed individually
