Don't YOU Hate It When??

You are expected to be a mind reader...as in:

You are given a copy of a document and accompanying letter your boss faxed to someone a while ago. The letter asks the recipient to provide some information needed to complete the document. The boss has attached a sticky note for you stating "I still need the information to complete this document."

Taking this as an instruction to send another request to the unresponsive recipient, you fax over the second request. Only to have your boss come to you later in the day asking why you contacted the recipient rather than her client. Apparently I was supposed to make that connection even though she had not given the even the tiniest indication that I was to contact the client.

Just another one of life's unsolved mysteries or I just missed something...perhaps both?
