Offering to help is a slippery slope that could go very wrong.

If it is some "macho man" with a girlfriend watching you may offend his manliness and he could get mad. He may feel his 5 attempts show he is persistent.

If it was a woman she could be offended that you even thought she needed help.

If you did help, and you were the one who left it in neutral, you could be responsible for the damage. If you back it in and the plug is not in the boat who is responsible? If you get in their car and later something is missing from their glove compartment who will they suspect?

Too much potential for an ugly ending!

Believe me, I used to try but it is not worth getting involved. However, I do try to conceal any reaction and I never point and stare!
