“When will [task] be done?”
When I told you it would be done.
“But why isn’t it done now?”
Because it’s not when I told you it would be done yet.
“Well, you need to hurry up and do it faster, because we need it right away.”
Great! But you standing here arguing with me about it is now actively preventing me from getting it done. It will be done when it’s done, which will now be about 20 minutes later than it would have been before you came over here and started shooting your mouth off about it.
If I had a dime for every time I’ve had this conversation with middle management in my various careers, I’d at least be able to afford a Taco Bell combo meal by now.

Some people like to give commands just to feel important.

I used to have a manager who’d tell you to do exactly what you were already doing in the moment. Like if you were sweeping she’d say something like “hey, could you sleep the floor?”
