How long a list do you want haha
People at work who are always in a massive rush. And so they will
a) Pester me to do anything they want "ASAP" no matter how urgent it really is in the grand scheme of things, and want me to prioritise them over everyone else and
b) Do things so fast that it takes them longer. I sat and watched one of the culprits last week in a meeting - she is one of these who has to be talking and doing everything at 10 million miles per hour so she can be all showy with "look how busy I am and how much of a sense of urgency I have omgomgnotimetoputspacesbetweenwordsbusybusybusyletsgo!!"
The end result was that she kept mistyping and misclicking every couple of seconds and having to re-do things, and losing windows this way and that. So in the end it took longer than if she'd just slowed down and calmly showed what she wanted doing.
Haha, my mum does exactly that as well, but mostly on the desktop. She rarely directly asks for help, and also chunters away constantly (when nothing's wrong, she just has a habit of talking to herself a lot) to the point you end up sort of tuning it out. Sometimes I may notice the slightly louder "what's going on here?", but more often than not I'll not notice until it's escalated to a loud and hinty "SIGH..."Originally Posted by Shaibana
