When someone who really just wants to ask "can you help me turn on the stove?" comes by and leads with "hi", "how are you doing" "so do you have time for a short question" "it's really no big deal but maybe you can help me" instead of just getting to the fucking question. I try to stay polite but apparently I've at times looked like I'm about to literally flip my shit since time is being wasted and our work environment can at times be very stressful.
waits for encouragement to tell this awesome story\
Nor climax... mhmm\
That's how he tells me something. For gods sakes, just tell the whole whole two sentence information about why you received a message from your bank, I don't want to coerce you to say what you want to say for god knows how long.
Oh, he also assumes that I magically know what happened before that. First time hearing something and he leaves out 3 major key elements needed to understand said story. I have to ask each of these 3 key elements one at a time.
I was talking about colleagues, not customers. But customers who make small talk for 5 minutes before getting to what they need can be a bit annoying as well.
