Not a specifically bad instance, but everywhere I’ve worked has always had that guy who has a hundred irrelevant questions at the end of a meeting, holding up 10 or so people from actually getting on with work.

After a couple of bad questions, I'll either excuse myself, suggest we carry on separately, or (ideally) ask to be sent a list, for me to ignore at my leisure.

Sorry Greg, we're not here to answer your dumbass questions, or indulge your hypothetical edge cases.

It’s always hypothetical rabbit holes 🙄

They think they’re like Doctor Strange trying to map out every conceivable future

If 1 person has a question, then chances are good most people have that same question but are too afraid to ask it in front of everyone.

Some people have questions because they just don't listen when information is given, or have no ability to think for themselves.
