Office Pet Peeve

As I said in my last post, I have some office pet peeves.  We all do but after working for 40 years (am I that old?) I have developed my fair share of them...

Today's Office Pet Peeve ..... Unresponders

I do get annoyed when I send someone and email or leave them a voice mail and they NEVER get back to me but that isn't today's pet peeve, exactly.

Today's is when someone sends you an email, you immediately reply back and ask a follow up question and then they don't reply. 

(This bugs me with text messages too)

Example:

Person:  Will you tell me how much we paid Vendor XYZ
Me: (Responds the second I get the email) - Yes - for what date range?
Person: 

I mean I replied the second and I mean the second you asked me the question, it would only take you another 2nd to reply back with Fiscal Year 20, or for the month of April or whatever.

How can I get you what you want if you don't reply back and you JUST sent the question so I know you are at your desk or with your phone....

Of course that person will never respond and 2 or 3 days later say "I still haven't gotten the information I requested" - upon which I will have to ask again "for what date range?"

I've had similar things happen with a friend.  She will text me and say "Do you want to meet for lunch tomorrow" - I reply back the second the text is sent and say "Yes, what time and where?'  and then 4 or 5 hours late she will reply back.

You JUST sent the text, YOU asked me a question, you must be waiting for my response and then you don't have the decency to reply back to me? 

I just don't understand these kind of people.
