Type A Inefficiency is a chronic condition that affects a small portion of the population. Individuals suffering from this affliction demonstrate typical Type A behavior (time-urgent behavior, perfectionism, need for control, etc.), but with the caveat of not knowing how to plan with a group effectively. Often affecting the roommates of the afflicted, Type A Ineffiecients turn seemingly simple or nonexistent problems into the biggest stressfuck imaginable. A typical example would be expecting a group to make multiple trips as a unit to complete errands that could be divided and accomplished in a fraction of the time, seperately. There also appears to be a strong attachment towards bothering others with non-existent problems (3 dirty plates in the sink when the dishwasher is actively running) during the most inconvenient moments (during a pregame) and expecting immediate action. While not a character issue, Type A Inefficient behavior tends to really irritate those who like to go with the flow and like to reduce stress in their lives while also accomplishing everything they need to. To those with Type A Inefficiency, we like to simply say, FITFO.
SITUATION: It is 1am
Chill Friend: Hey, I gotta go to bed I have to be up really early for a flight tomorrow
Type A Inefficient Friend: Ok but you're aware we haven't cleaned the house and we NEED to move organize our rooms
Chill Friend: Well you haven't been here all day, it's really late and this is gonna take a long time, and besides I'll only be gone for a day I'm sure we can find a way to get this done as a group when we're back together.
Type A Inefficient Friend: I know you're awake, i dont care that this is quite possibly the worst time to expect this to get done. HOW AM I GOING TO SURVIVE FOR ONE NIGHT IN A MILDLY UNKEPT HOUSE BY MYSELF WITH MY CLOTHES IN A SUITCASE.
Chill Friend: tbh idk, that sounds on par with the Trail of Tears. I know you suffer from Type A Inefficiency, but how abt you FITFO
