Let me give you an example from earlier this week.

I was at a client about 30kms from the office for morning meetings. I arranged to work from home in the afternoon since I live closer to the client than I do to the office and I can avoid 1 1.5 hours of rush hour traffic.

Cue a frantic email that she is getting a compiler error that a method with the same parameter signature exists in the same namespace and I need to fix it. Cue me replying that she just needs to search for a duplicate class. Cue her telling me that she will wait until morning for me to come in and fix it for her.

The next day was the hard deadline so I ended up having to drive into the office to solve the issue for her. It turns out she has somehow managed to copy/paste a class in her solution.

1 1/2 hours in traffic later I was ready to murder someone.
