Yep, I get this with people stopped and off their bikes on the (remote-ish) cycle path. I tend to slow down a bit and give them a cheery 'got everything you need?' In case they're stranded. Tend to get blank stares, frowns and even a 'prick' once :-)
If I don't say anything, though, I get wracked with guilt and assume they later died of exposure.

I've offered puncture help several times but people prefer to walk...
Must be the Dutch accent, they may think I'm a female Goldmember...? ;)
Did accept a lend of a pump from someone when my portable pump was being an asshole.

I get the same, I have tried all sorts of wording from "need a patch?" to "want some help?" to whatever but people are always confused.

Next time complement her on her work towards becoming a stain on the road ;)
It's tricky sometimes though, you try to be nice and helpful and get a shitty response back. Then when you don't say something when people do something Stupid you feel guilty.
Hell is others etc etc ;)
