I know what you mean (about both statements!)

I find myself often trying to drive someone else's computer by using my 
voice.  I tell you, voice control of another person's computer with them 
interpreting is probably one of the more frustrating things to do.

Or when my mom starts reading an error message to me - and after three 
words, I know what the next thing is and what to do next.
