When would you wrest control?

Another thread prompted this one, and for a change, I cant recall it having been done before.

So the question is this; you are an instructor, you are the non flying pilot in a multi crew enviroment or you are just another pilot that happens to be sitting in the right seat (for you heli guys and girls) or left seat with a good friend when you decide you really dont like what is happening.

Perhaps there is time (or perhaps not) to draw the pilots attention to the developing situation. If there is, for whatever reason, the handling pilot seems intent on doing nothing.

At what point, and in what circusmtances, in the cycle would you feel you had no alternative but to take control?

How would you react if you were the handling pilot?

Have you been in that situation either as the handling or non handling pilot.
