Coworker: Hi

Me: [Waits for more info, nothing comes.]

Me: Hello

Coworker: So

[Several seconds pass]

Coworker: What's up with that file from yesterday?

Me: [Waits for more info, nothing comes.]

Me: Which file

[No response for literally 10 minutes]

Coworker: The one we sent to client B

Me: [Rather than keep trying to extract information, search through history and find file which was sent to client B yesterday, find nothing obviously wrong with it, and it was nothing to do with me anyway]

Me: [Sends link to file] You mean this one?

[5 minutes pass]

Coworker: NM I figured it out. Thanks!


My other favourite is the coworker who does the same thing but instead of saying hey types "Pssst" and if you don't respond within about 5 seconds they start sending GIFS of people knocking on doors and stuff.

    If anyone says hi to me I literally just ignore them until they say something actionable.

    It's great because if they ever complain about it I can just say, oh I was busy so didn't immediately follow up and they never ever specified what they wanted.
