Why interruptions are frustrating to developers

Had an attorney doing some work for me a while back. Emailed 3 emails over 3 different days - wasn't hearing back after the first, so I emailed again, etc.

I was told they couldn't work well with constant interruptions like that. WTF? Probably was an extreme ... something going on on their end, but... wanting/needing some answers and waiting 4 days was, to me, being rather patient.

Well, it's impossible to tell one way or the other without knowing what those questions were, and also how many other people they needed to answer questions for.

Sure but “I’m busy and will get back in touch next week” would have sufficed.
