garbage disguised as hard work
Piggybackers love gimmicks because it helps disguise their
piggybacking behaviour.
Often, Piggybackers spend more time writing emails (or gimmicks) than actually spending time on the actual work or task at hand. This is how you can identify a piggybacker.
Typically, the piggybackers will frustrate the piggybacked with too much gimmicks
to the point that the piggybacked will choose to do it himself/herself.
Praising is a critical weapon in the piggybackers arsenal.
Piggybacking and gimmicks are synonymous -- one cannot exist without another.
Piggybacker A:
Have you done your part for the report and
presentation?
Piggybacker B: Yea, I have done it under a hour -- it is plain gimmicks.
Piggybacked: Can
you get me some tibits and a coke?
Piggybacker A and B: Sure! *Comes back with green tea instead of coke*
Piggybacked: I wanted coke!
Piggybacker A and B: We are concerned about your health!
Piggybacker A and B: I like your laptop very, very much!
Piggybacked: Really? It is a very old laptop!
