Funny (sadly) enough, it's usually American contacts or colleagues that get annoying over it.
This while me, as a European, tend to get creeped the fuck out when they do this fake smiling all the time, especially when going out to eat.
As an American. I'm so, so sorry. It's a plague over here. It's definitely a cultural thing. The ways the US functions at it's core demands it, in its hyper-competitive work landscape. Thankfully, a lot of Americans understand how fake it is and hate it, too. It tends to mostly present itself in more "successful" individuals in the States.
