In general I do agree that it’s intrusive to help if it’s not needed or wanted - it’s best to offer then accept the other person’s acceptance or declination. Could it be considered entitled behaviour if someone forced their unwanted help onto another?

Yep I totally agree. And I do think it could be entitled behavior in a way. Because it sends a message to the recipient of the unwanted help that they don't think someone can do something on their own even if they clearly can. It is basically treating someone like a baby. I've had some people do that to me. And it didn't feel like genuine help. It felt like the person was trying to make herself look better since she was a known attention seeker. Always looking for validation. She would actually start trembling if she wasn't getting attention, that's how bad she was. And other people who have done it just assume that I can't do something and even talk to me like I'm stupid. My coworkers do that. Super annoying.
