I had a colleague who would do exactly this in order to slack at work -> pinging someone and saying 'hello', then some time passes until the person responds, then the enquirer asks a question, then the person responds and it goes on...

And everytime during the stand-ups the person would be - "Oh, I couldn't communicate the issue on time, I will continue working in the issue today..."

I noticed this once because we spent two hours discussing about some topic.

(we have a milestone-based flexible release model, milestones could be scheduled every couple of months at times, so the person would slack quite a lot)
