I absolutely cannot stand the kind of people who answer a brief and simple yes or no question with a wall of text or a two minute voice note. If it’s that complicated, because your pet chihuahua just had a stroke and you then fell in love head over heels with the veterinarian and that you’re currently at the airport to fly away for your spontaneous honeymoon, just say no and tell me about the details in person.
If I got that question by text though I’d normally ignore it until Monday.
Bumming around doing nothing is one of my most valued hobbies.
“are you bored ?” might get a response, but better to reveal something about the proposed alternative. “want to do macrame on Sunday?”
I especially hate this one in work.
“you free?”
Unfortunately, a polite reply is expected in that context so i can’t say “no” (I’m at work, as you fucking well know).
The question normally means " i fucked up x and don’t know what to do about it"
If they don’t tell me what “X” is, how do I know where their fuckup ranks in the wider population of fuckery.
Receiving LLM output as an answer to a question, is the equivalent of getting a voice reply to the question:
“Quick question, are you free on Saturday afternoon?”

I respond to the “are you free?” With “No, I charge $200/hr”
