He's probably just dragging his feet.
- unsupp0rted 3y agoIt's silly stuff like "Bill said he's free Wednesday or Thursday: which slot works for you?" Yes.
- anigbrowl 3y agoStop being so accommodating. Some clients are not worth the trouble.
- unsupp0rted 3y agoThere are a lot more pluses than minuses. The pluses aren’t interesting enough for me tell stories about on HN, so you’re getting a skewed image.
- shepardrtc 3y agoMaybe assume he's reading it as "Wednesday? Thursday?" "Yes". Meaning, he's saying yes to the latter of the two.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoHa, I would typically assume the former. Usually people lead with the strongest/most desirable option. The remainder are all technically available.
- DANmode 3y agoSpeaking from experience with the functionally illiterate: they read this as "Wednesday....work for you?"
- byronvickers 3y agoThis is absolutely my experience as well. I used to encounter this regularly in a professional context and ended up just replying with a confirmation that "option A" was what he'd agreed to. I was never mistaken.
- DANmode 3y agoAnd it's OUR fault these people are allowed to continue existing unimpeded in society. Just so we're all on the same page.
