For some reason they don't understand the urgency of someone's needs, like they're living in a timeless story which you can interrupt and resume whenever you want. And they have a total detachments of these imperative matters [1] as if it is not important whether they are in the end addressed or not. For example if you depend on them to pursue an opportunity, they seem not to understand that opportunities are temporary and need to be addressed as soon as possible. They IME share this trait with all Ip people. The train is departing, Joe, you either take it or you're left behind.
