It's the single most irritating interaction I have had with a coworker, and I have had it at least once at every job I've ever had.

"Hey, thing xyz is super confusing, can you (help me use it|explain how it works|rewrite it so I understand it)?"

"Did you read the document I sent? The document (has sample code that does the thing you're trying to do|explains how it works|explains why the simpler approach doesn't actually work in practice)"

"...No."

It's incredible how some devs can learn 15-20 different programming languages, and completely forget English in the process.
