Is there a such thing as being too nice??

So last week we had to go to Kingston to run some errands. George was on a course that week and he had mentioned to one of the guys that we were going. He asked if he could tag along. So as we were driving there we all were chatting away getting to know one another. We started talking about were we all have been posted. George's friend had mentioned something about one of his postings. For some reason it has been on my mind all week. So I thought I would share with all of you :)
He said he had been posted to Halifax. Well of course both George and I smiled and said oh that's our hometown. He continued on and said it was nice but he found one thing that annoyed him the whole time he was there. He said the people there were just too nice. What??? Yes I do agree Nova Scotians are known to be very nice. Is there such a thing as being too nice?? So when he initially said it I was very proud that he thought we were nice. Could be worse he could have said we were stuck up and rude. To hear it actually annoyed him and he was happy when his time in Nova Scotia was over annoyed me.
Really as a society you mean to tell me it annoys us when people are nice??? I don't get it.
All I know is that I'm proud to be from Nova Scotia and proud to be known as the nice province.
My hope is that when he goes to another province and is treated rude, no one will let him cut in the line is given the finger for driving the speed limit maybe just maybe he will change his mind and think hey maybe NS wasn't all that bad. :)
