Straight up. I recently had to get my car serviced for a recall, and was told I'd be contacted when the parts came in. Fast forward a month, and I had to call them up because I hadn't been called or anything. Turns out, the parts were already in and they just forgot about me. I was really annoyed about that, not because of the time waiting, but rather because I just hadn't been told what was happening

Similarly, when I took my car in, I just told them I'd be hanging around the area. They took this as "needs to be done asap", when I would literally be fine if the process took 8 hours. I've got my steam deck, I'm good

Sometimes neurotypicals assume you're being needy when all you want is an accurate time frame
