Are you an akser or a Guesser?

So then I texted back, "What time do you want them picked up?"

He sent back "7".

I sent back "K".

Why could he not just have asked that in the first place? Like, "Could you please pick the kids up at 7:00?" Just to annoy me? Good job!

Because he's not an akser, he's a guesser and that's what guessers do.
The gist of the article is that they don't do it to piss off askers it's just the way they do things.
