I have definitely been the subject of this article. I had a particularly demanding client that didn't seem to want to put any work in, work you and I would probably both consider her responsibility.
I was brought in for consulting on A & B - but she wanted me to do the rest of the alphabet too. Ultimately my billable hours drizzled away to nothing, and my client was impossible to get a hold of.
I did find myself using these lines in various emails whilst working on the things I deemed my responsibility.
I still don't know if they had success with their project because she decided to go at it on her own.
