They're not in a hurry, but we are?

Let's take a hypothetical example...

This person and his hypothetical collegue meet a hypothetical solution provider to discuss a hypothetical mutual oppotunity. After the discussion, over a hypothetical lunch, the hypothetical solution provider agrees to provide the hypothetical people in this hypothetical example more details on the hypothetical solution by the end of the day.

Nothing materializes even by the end of the next day.

Finally, the hypothetical solution details arrive a day and a half later. And now the hypothetical collegue of this hypothetical person is pushing hard to get their side of the information done ASAP.

So this person feels that this hypothetical solution provider does not view this opportunity as something really important (given their speed of response) and so they are not in a hurry, but this hypothetical collegue is...even though the solution is mostly about the hypothetical provider's solution.

I would get so mad if this happened to me. Luckily it happened to this hypothetical person.

Sort of reminds you of Sir Humphrey, doesn't it? ;-)
