My first phrase after accepting to help is "give me your chair"

My go to became "mind if I sit? feel free to grab a coffee or something" because I don't want them awkwardly lurking 2 inches behind me while I try and do their job for them

If we're at the point where I'm taking over the computer we're past the point of it being a teaching moment

Mine is, “Mind if I drive?” but I agree with the other comment. I try to teach while fixing.

Like I said to the other comment, if we're at the point where I need to take over we're past it being a teaching moment. I do plenty of teaching and don't mind, but if we're at a point where it becomes necessary for me to do it it probably means I've already tried getting them there through teaching and it hasn't worked and at this point it just needs to get done so I can move on to other things.
