If it takes longer than 5 minutes it's "get up, let me sit there"
I always say either "can I drive?" or "let me drive" depending on how polite I feel like being in the moment.
Five? Fuggedaboudit. More than two minutes and I'll sit. Not all here are youngsters.
I have noticed, people just leave their chair when I arrive. I sit down, do the thing they did themselves the whole time without getting it to work and it starts to work at first try. Sometimes, idk, what they were doing but they are happy to carry on.
This happens more often on Windows than on Linux. Linux users seem to have more real problems. ^^ On the other hand, at my place there is a lot more Windows than Linux on desktops.
