I've realised that when someone asks me to do something without giving any indication of how important it is or what kind of deadline there might be, I prioritise it in part based on how I was asked. The more annoying the wording and method of communication are, the longer it'll take me to get to a request, probably out of subconsious spite
@Zonz it varies! But for an example that regularly happens…
Coworker A sends me a one-sentence message in the work chat about a typo on the website while I’m doing non-focused tasks. I’ll probably drop what I’m doing and fix it.
Coworker B, whom I like equally as much as A, emails me a three-sentence email about a typo, with the story of how they found it. I’ll look at the email and file it in the “do later” pile.

What do you consider an annoying method of communication? How about a good method of communication? 🤔
