"Try teaching an impatient person, who undervalues the subject matter, already missed several opportunities to learn about it in formal education settings and who you lack a teacher-student dynamic with..."

Or, in a way...

"It's one banana, Michael - what could it cost, $10?"

Of course my suggestion wasn't without limits. Personally I will try to help/teach anyone once. If they continue to not make any effort then neither will I.

I'm probably the same generally, but I don't have to be humble about it.... IME, majority are capable and would just rather be doing something else. So they get to go dance, I have to learn/practice and then fix their shit/teach them when their done dancing because I care for them as friends, family or just other humans.

Just frustrating, but I'll typically offer the help or opportunity to learn, where applicable.

I refuse to fix anything for my inlaws without them watching me. I make them watch me Google the solutions and follow the instructions. It helps reinforce the "it's not magic and I'm not a wizard" reality I want to instill in everyone.

This seems like an opportunity to quote one my shirts "I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you". Teaching always involves two willing people.

Absolutely. I was acknowledging that with the word 'try'.
