Saying “please” when asking someone to do you a favor isn’t excessive, IMHO. It indicates that you are making a request and not issuing an order, and recognizes that you are grateful for the assistance.
That and the century of humiliation.
Presumably you had to travel to get there. It’s likely you didn’t have anything to drink while travelling. So they offer you a drink.
Also, it’s nice to sit and chat while enjoying a drink, whether that is a warm drink (coffee, tea, whatever), a cold drink (water, juice, soda, whatever), or an alcoholic drink (beer, wine, whatever).
Edit: Also why are you annoyed? If you don’t want anything a simple “nothing for me, thanks” is fine and shouldn’t put you out too much!
The people in the trolley problem aren’t necessarily tied to the track. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Possibly because in the past there was a notion that doctors would lie to their patients “for their own good”, and that the doctor’s decision about your care was something you had to just accept.
The notion that patients could advocate for their own care arose during the boomers’ lifetime.
