Jigsaw Etiquette

So person A buys a jigsaw and sets it up is working on it when able as relaxation.

Person B happens along and says Oh can I help.

Person A agrees (thinking but not saying out loud ‘nice to do something together’)

Person B explains that A ‘always follows the wrong method and their Mum (not present) was great at jigsaws and her method should be used’

…some days later Person B (while A has been at work all week - B only works part time) says oh jigsaw’s almost finished

A says ‘you did my relaxation jigsaw while I was working?’

B says you said I could help, there are still all the green bits to do

Question is: wtf is B thinking?

Oh that is very very annoying.

We always have a jigsaw set out at our local library that is open for library users to chip inand do. In reality it's mainly only a small number of keen jigsaw users that bother with it. But honestly at times world war 3 has almost broken out over the jigsaw. The main problems are that most of the jigsaw regulars are convinced that they are the best jigsaw doer in the world and that their method is the right method. And also coming and interfering when someone is happily doing the jigsaw by themselves for a short time
Who knew jigsaws could cause such problems?
