You're not a shithead, your are just cautious as our present culture has taught you to be. Good intentions are not always recieved well in this brave new world.
I have been cussed out for holding doors open for women, or standing aside so they could enter a building first. Stopping to help a woman with a flat tire is a possible entanglement with the police, or pepper spray.
Many people today just can't believe that a stranger would do something nice for them with no ulterior reason.
I find it sad but I understand why you did as you did.
