Women of Reddit, what thing do male coworkers do that is not quite sexual harassment, but you wish they would stop doing it so you can be comfortable at work?

While I agree many of these are problems, I think some of these issues stem from societal upbringing. This regards lifting things primarily. As a male nurse, there are many times I get asked to help lift patients while I’m busy, while there are other female nurses sitting around just because I’m the guy. Coworkers also make comments like, “oh...chivalry isn’t dead.” I can see how this is an issue if someone is persistent about doing a task for someone that the other person is adamant they can do. It can also backfire when a coworker doesn’t help and then may be presumed as lazy. I was raised to always help others and also be courteous to all regardless of male or female.
