lol. that's me; only I start by writing out the problem as an email to ask someone for help. 90% of the time, I find that I didn't have a complete understanding of the problem to begin with, and I usually end up solving it before hitting "send".
Then I'll have this odd memory of - "I discussed this with you, I told you all abo- oh wait, I didn't send it."
