You can't (well, shouldn't) force others to play your games. I would mostly thank (definitely if I found it helpful and sometimes just to be polite). But if I don't need that apparently and they do seem to be pleasing themselves (even stealing the room I need to pass without wiping them) I can see it as none of my business. (I don't think I'm obliged to participate.)
I hate people touch me or my things without a permission. Last time in a foreign country I had three incidents. 1. In a supermarket some dick (another customer) started to help the cashier to pack my purchases while I was busy putting away the change. I demanded he must stop. He ignored me completely (He didn't speak my language but of course he got the meaning. I used simple words.). I found that insulting. 2. A waiter patted me on the shoulder (I never knew him). I felt like hitting him back. 3. A pet taxi driver suddenly offered a handshake after charging me more than I had expected (we had never been any close, it was only a business/service for me). Next time I'm going to tell him that's unnecessary. You should pay some true attention to others rather than just entertain yourself at their expense.
Show some respect if you wish to be courteous.
