Vent: Spent 3 hours prepping a client meeting only to find out they wanted a 5 minute phone call

I dug through 2 years of their analytics data and made a 12 slide deck, but when I hopped on the call they said "oh I just needed a quick yes or no on the deadline." Has anyone else had clients waste your time like this where you could have solved it in 2 sentences?

12 slides for a yes or no question... @logan271 you could've just texted them back.

12 slides is just bad form. A quick text with 'lunch?' would take 5 seconds. If Logan actually needed an answer to something critical, that's even worse. Nobody reads 12 slides for a yes or no. It's just noise.
