Robert is reading an article and Stephen is in the next room working intently on his computer. Robert notices something in his article that he feels is very important for Stephen to know. Robert knows it would make a big difference for Stephen if he only understood it. Robert gets excited, and immediately takes the article to show Stephen. He doesn't knock, he doesn't consider what Stephen is doing or whether Stephen is ready to hear anything new. Robert just comes right into Stephen's office and starts talking. He says, "Stephen, I think you need to see this. This is really important". Stephen is caught off guard. He's deep in his own thoughts about his own project. He isn't ready to see the article right now. He is in the middle of something he feels is important and finds it intrusive and disrespectful to be pulled away from his work to consider Robert's unscheduled interruption.
