I got annoyed at someone for stopping and obstructing in the middle of the technique that I was getting wrong. I said "I'm sort of dyslexic sometimes about techniques, but if you allow me to mess up a couple times, I'll usually get it."It's harder when uke is trying to be clever and instruct, and I've been only offering clues when they ask and are totally lost about obvious things, and then I tend to direct them to Sensei. Only times I've ever tried to tell people what to do, I've been wrong. Oh, and my job? Be a good uke, so I'm working on that and telling them to ask the instructor if ever they ask for MY help.
