I think it's just an extension of how things were. To me, this is the online version of people dropping by your desk with a "real quick question".
Heck, even e-mail, which is overtly asynchronous, has some people expecting answers "quickly".
- bdefore 4y agoAh, 'Real quick' and 'Quick question'. If you suffer from saying either of these two phrases, ever, know that I think less of you when you do. It's aggressive, dismissive, and presumptuous. Usually patently false. Please stop. I don't remember anyone saying this a decade ago, because you'd come across as the boss from Office Space.
