At what point do you step in and offer help?
A nice nearly new Newmar was backing into a space just across from me. He and the wife have wireless mikes and earphones so there is a lot of communication between them both by voice and by arm move...

I look at it this way. When I am up to my ears in a real mess, and totally screwed up and confused, the last thing I want is someone telling me how stupid I am.
Even if they are not telling me I am stupid, but being very helpful, I interpret their offer of help as telling me just how stupid I am. Then, when I am fed up and ready to kill myself, I go ask for help. Because, when I ask for help, that is the smart thing to do. And if I am smart by asking for help, I cannot be that stupid.
So I think others are the same way. And I stay available, but not in their business. They are working thru it at their own pace. And in their own way.
Does any of that make any sense? It works for me, tho.
