I can't remember the word for the phrase don't — me
I can't remember the correct phrase you give someone if they are being overly nice to where it sounds condescending?
It would go like: don't --- me.
Would be a similar word to flatter or pander

@John You clearly move in more violent circles than me if tasing people counts as being overly nice!

@JanusBahsJacquet, what's sad is that's the first thing I thought of when I saw don't [blank] me... Even the second and third things weren't so nice! It may be time to get some Jesus...

Patronize (patronise)
I remembered the word!
- to behave towards (someone) in a way which is kind and friendly but which nevertheless shows that one thinks oneself to be more important, clever etc than that person.
He's a nice fellow but he does patronise his assistants.
(The Free Dictionary)
Could you accept this answer to show that is is the correct one? I have updated it to add the required detail necessary for an answer.
