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
Or I think worse yet, I ask a question, and they don’t reply for a while so then when they do respond all they say is “hi.”
It infuriates me, I don’t need to be at my desk for you to answer the question I left you above! Ughhh
