I saw a guy holding a bag for his girlfriend I thought it was lazy for the girl to not do it your self. And I am a girl. When I said it out load "why is he holding her bag?" my friend said "because it is an act of kindness!!" she said strict and firm to me while glaring at me? Why? It’s like she saying "you don’t do that!" but we not a couple.

Now, like any kind act, he might have been being taken advantage off and being asked to hold it for an unjustified reason, or for too long. But that is up to HIM to decide, not you.
When it doubt, assume the best of people, not the worst. Although I'm not a mind-reader, I would imagine that is why she sounded strict, because you automatically assumed the worse about those two people, instead of seeing huge possibilty of goodness in them both.
