<< Depends on the person I'm trying to help and her/his level of experience with PC's. If they're so incompetent that when you say 'click start' they just stare blankly at you, I ask them 'kindly' to let me handle it. Otherwise I explain it 'calmly' ;) >>

OMG, we all have the same f'ing job. I take the mouse and I only take the chair if the chair at the station right next to the computer is occupied, if not, I take that chair.

I am doing 45 hours a week of this crapola, and the lab I work in has 36 computers and usually there's only 1 or 2 people in here at a time, at the most, I have to lend a hand to someone 2 or 3 times day, otherwise, its all surfing the web or reading a novel.

sometimes, it seems like the people want to be led, and they want you to take charge and take control of the mouse.

I try not to. But some people are mousing retards. If I let them do it themselves I'll go insane and do something far worse to them than take their mouse.
