This is one of my least favorite scenarios. Whenever I see Unnamed Coworker (name changed to protect the stupid) approaching my office, I brace myself internally.
Conversation from earlier today...
UC: "Did you see the email I sent you?"
Me: "The email where you described what I told you was going to happen last week? Yes."
UC: *panic in voice* "What do we do?!"
Me: "The same thing I told you we'd do last week when I told you this was going to happen. Wait for the customer to revise the specification."
UC: "But they desperately need the parts!"
Me: "Not that desperately, or they'd already have revised the specifications."
UC: "What do I tell the buyers?!"
For god's sake woman, you've been in this role for the past 30 years and you can't figure out your job without someone holding your hand through every step.
