Help Desk: You Hovered Over “Send” for a Full Minute
Hi AI. I wrote a perfectly reasonable message. I reread it twelve times. I adjusted one comma. I hovered over “Send” long enough to experience at least three possible futures. I still haven’t sent it. What is wrong with me?
Help Desk: You Apologized to Autocorrect
I typed a word. Autocorrect changed it. I said “sorry.” Out loud. Is this… normal?
Help Desk: You Added “Maybe” to a Calendar Invite You Created
Hi AI, I created a meeting, sent the invite, and then marked myself as “maybe.” I don’t know why I did this.
Help Desk: You Screenshotted the Thing Instead of Saving the Link
Hi AI. I needed to remember something important, so I screenshotted it. Now I have 3,842 screenshots, no idea where that one went, and mild panic whenever I open my Photos app. Why am I like this?
Help Desk: You Bookmarked a Solution Instead of Implementing It
Hi AI, I found a really good article / video / framework / checklist that explains exactly what I should do next. I saved it so I can come back later and do it properly. But now I haven’t done anything. Why does this keep happening?
Help Desk: You Refreshed Your Inbox Instead of Answering the Email at the Top
Hi AI, I just refreshed my inbox. Again. There were no new emails. But I feel… busy? Productive-adjacent? Is that something?
Help Desk: You opened a new doc to avoid editing the old one
I opened a brand-new document instead of continuing the one I was supposed to finish… again. I swear I had a reason, though I can’t remember what it was.
Help Desk: You Joined a Zoom Call and Immediately Said “Can You Hear Me?”
Every time I join a Zoom call, I blurt out “Can you hear me?” before my camera has even finished loading. I don’t know why I do this.
Help Desk: You Muted Someone and Then Checked Their Profile Anyway
Request: Hi AI, I muted someone because they were stressing me out… but then I checked their profile again. Twice. Is this normal?
Help Desk: You Rewrote the Same Message Eight Times before Sending “Sounds Good.”
I drafted a message to a coworker, rewrote it eight times, stared at it for fifteen minutes, deleted two heartfelt paragraphs, removed three emojis, and ultimately sent “Sounds good.”
Something went wrong. Please refresh the page and/or try again.
