Do they really do as much running around as the US does? I kinda thought other countries hated us because we stick our nose in everything, more than most.

They definitely do (maybe not as much, not sure how we'd quantify that), we've just been the big dog for a while and so we rightly get most of the flak.
The entirety of the cold war was basically the US and the USSR stepping on each others toes and trying to spread control and influence throughout the world through the barrel of a gun.
For a modern non-US example, look at China's big Belt and Road initiative, one of Jingping's foreign policy cornerstones, and the influence they're trying to establish in Africa.
