Bobsledding - the new backseat driving

I heard a great term the other day, which I had never heard, and represents the further evolution of cubical culture. While working with a client, we were referring to the "help" that you can get from others. This sort of help where you time is monopolized by people who simply want to get you to do their work and only their work, and they are going to stay until their work is done. The term was "Bobsledding" and conjures instant images of the two chairs back to front in a cube. I have been both a victim and victimizer of this technique. I thought this was a great term.
