No reply

Then nothing till today in the morning.

He replies back, ignores my question, keeps saying he's struggling with Y. So I ask what steps he's tried.

It's been 45 minutes now and no response.

And we're basically expected to help away team people like this sight-unseen because we are a "host team".

Really grinds my gears.

I get it if the problem he's supposedly dealing with wasn't documented (we have a lot of really bad docs) but this stuff I even copy-pasted to him in the chat directly from a document he said he read, lol, and he ignored me.
That kind of shit drives me crazy. Taking service calls/emails is the same way. I stopped giving test specifications because I want to see what they get, otherwise they say, "oh yeah, that is what I came up with."
