A question about etiquette ...What to expect for a day of helping people?

THe guy knows that I don't drink. He doesn't either. He plays the "old man" card to his advantage. Of the three that were there to help, I am the most outspoken one. He may get them to come back again but I will not.
I do know that he appreciates the help but I would TOO if three guys did all the work while I walked around trying to look busy.
Headers....TTI 1 7/8" and they slipped in pretty easily with the extra help. I am used to doing car stuff alone, headers included. My second set in my own car took 9 hours in 2004. I have cut that time down dramatically. Having extra eyes and hands really helps!
THis will be the that guy at the car shows that will sound like this:
What is the compression ratio? I don't know, I'll have to ask Ernie the Engine man.
Did the car have much rust? Not much, I had Dan Panelbammer do the bodywork and Peter the Painter spray it.
Did you rebuild the suspension to stock specs? No, I had some guys install Hotchkis torsion bars, another guy put in the Master Power brakes, blah, blah, blah...
Headers too, huh? Were they hard to install? Not at all. They dang near slipped right in. I didn't have to do anything.
