Does this happen to others?

Among my friends I'm the most interested in poker, both reading about theory and actually playing. However, when it comes to playing games, they suddenly become experts.

Despite this though, they always seem to do something which absolutely amazes me. Imagine a few players see the flop. The first player to act, if he has a bad band, often says "I fold"!!! All they have to do is check, but for some reason they fold. It's unbelievable.

I'm curious to know whether anyone else finds this when playing against rookies?

(BTW, I do point their mistake out first time they do it, but if they do it again I dont mention- it's their fault.)
