People who send to you an email instead of talking to you despite the fact they sit next to you.

@h3ll that's right, unless this isn't done every time with everything. If not, then you spent more time going through your mails instead of working.

This is a feature not a bug. See also instant messaging.

Could be they want it documented if work related.

I fucking hate this shit. Why does everything have to have a fucking paper trail. I'm old school I use the telephone and face to face communications. I routinely don't answer emails on principle.

For me it's not the paper trail, it's the break in concentration. If I can respond to a request over chat or email, I don't break focus. If I have to speak to a person/answer the phone, it breaks my concentration and I lose 10-15 min just getting back into my code afterwards.

or people writing emails, skyping you about the emails, then walking over to you asking if you've seen his Skype and mail. yes, that happens a lot...
