pet peeve

[orangerful]

I do not like it when someone sends me instructions in VIDEO format and
only video format. When I'm at work, I don't have easy access to sound on
my computer (hello, LIBRARY) so it's a bit of a hassle to find headphones
and sit and listen to a 20 minute video on how to log into a Wiki and
manage a page. Just TELL me in writing. The video can be a supplement, but
I prefer to read instructions and work through something.

This also applies to news articles I want to read and then click to find
out it's a video only report. LAME.

Uuuugh seriously! I *HATE* this! I work for a big global company, so most of the people I deal with on a daily basis are not in the same country as me. And people keep insisting on desktop sharing or recording videos to physically show me how to do things. NOOOO. Just.. send me some written instructions, and supplement it with a video if you absolutely have to, but if you "teach" me with a video only, you bet I'll forget that shit the next day.
