Nobody likes someone over their shoulder or near them telling them what they are doing wrong when he or she feels that they know what they are doing, how to do it or have done it thousands of times.

The best thing for you to do is get out of the habit of telling people how they should be doing something or that they are doing it wrong unless they ask for your assistance. Let them do things on their own. If you see them struggling it's okay then to say to them "it might help if you tried it this way because it's easier."

This way they see you as helpful rather than critical of their every movement. Think about it for a moment here and put yourself in their shoes. I guess you can understand how they must feel even if you meant well. It's impossible to do anything with someone telling them they're doing it all wrong.

Let them try to solve things on their own and than offer help. Things will go smoothly that way.

IF your being nice about it and they are still getting offended then just stop doing it all to geather unless what they are doing pertains to you they probably either dont like the fact that your questioning them if it has nothing to do with you or have their own deep cieted issues about it but if what they are doing doesnt concern you then just let them go and dont question it.if it does concern you then explain your concern in a logical and polite way

You don't.
You kill them..

Ahah, no. Just tell them exactly what you're saying here.. & if you're nice about it and make it clear that you don't mean offense, I'm sure they'll just tell their side & just settle it from there.
