Got told my "helpful" notes on shared documents were actually annoying

So last week my coworker Karen finally told me that when I add comments to her spreadsheets, it feels like I'm grading her work. I thought I was being helpful flagging little errors, but she said it comes off as nitpicky. Now I ask first before I add anything, or I just mention it in person. It's a small change but our whole team dynamic got way less tense after that. Has anyone else had to learn the hard way that your good intentions don't always land right?

My brother once left post it notes all over my fridge judging my meal prep.
