It can be annoying when someone waits there in case you fail, true. They are not technically doing anything wrong by jumping in if you fail, but it is a tad immature, IMO. However I don't really have issue with that.
What I do, however, have issue with is the following. Say I unlock a chest, having no idea how many good items will be available to me before opening. Now I'm sure everyone who crafts has inventory issues when farming mats/chests. So I open a chest, grab what I can/have space for, then attempt to rummage through my bags to see what is of lesser importance so I can toss it and make room for whatever items remain. Then some child opens my already unlocked chest and grabs the item for which I was making room. Now that is pure and simple immature MMO behavior. Not "reportable" ...but I've played MMOs for over 15 yrs. Eventually once you do that to enough people, you end up with a server reputation and it bites you later on.
...While I was killing the scamp, another player grabbed the loot and ran...
....unlock it themselves, instead of mooching off my work.

That just baffles me..anyway If I see a chest that is being worked on I will leave them alone, however there is a cool down on the chest if you fail, meaning..it lets someone else have a try, I mean you did fail, It isn't yours until you open it and if you failed and someone else tries it is fair game.

When you see a chest that is guarded by mobs, you start fighting them and then some d0uchebag comes along and steals it while you are fighting the mobs and then he/she even leaves you without any help with the mobs even. You can not take it until the mobs are killed and they will only target you since you are the only one attacking those mobs.
Now that, if something is irritating.

This is why we need world PvP!
I'd be pummeling some manners into them with my dual axes, if only the game let me ...
Its simple, they got there first and they should be able to try and open it, without another person, IMO, hoping they fail and then stealing it. I'm sure you have failed on your first try. Is it wrong asking people to just not be rude ?
They are able to try and open it. They got there first, they get the first try. That's fair.
But failing means you blew your try, and now someone else can have theirs. ZOS put a cooldown on the lockpicking ability after a failed try for a reason.
Ok folks if you come up on a chest being worked on, please let that person alone. Don't wait for them to fail and immediately take over and basicly steal the chest.
Let them walk away, they got to the chest first, don't be rude.
This happened to me yesterday on a Master chest, missed my first attempt by a tick, with a player just waiting for the steal and sure enough they stole it. I asked them to stop, then reported them.
I know there are those of you that will see this on the side of the thief which is fine, everyone has an opinion.
