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!
