At the companies I've worked at, I refer to this as the "well, can't you just...?"
Yeah, I can "just" after I "just" do A, and B, and C, and D, and E, and F, and G.
Drives me batty on top of being insulting. "Surely you realize I thought about that weeks ago, and if it were that simple, we wouldn't be having this conversation."
But hey, I get paid every 2 weeks.
