    When people message with a “hi” or “hello” and then say nothing more till I reply.

    It annoys the hell out of me. Like, why can’t you just say what you want. It wastes so much of my time and mental energy to switch back and forth while I wait for your reply after replying to your utterly useless hello.

      What’s worse, after you “hi” them back, some people (looking at you project managers) just ducking call without any explanation. Drives me nuts

        Reject call.

        ‘why didn’t you answer’

        ‘I’m not available for calls right now’

        ‘why’

        ‘that’s not your business’

        I’ve wandered down this road a few times now.

      I occasionally give people shit for this. Chat is asynchronous and I’m busy just ask me the question and I’ll respond back when I can. Some people just won’t learn though and I usually just leave them on read.
