I used to work on a fairly famous project. One time, we had a major quirk in the data, our QC failure rate dropped suddenly with no obvious reason. Normally a drop in failures is good, but we hadn't done anything to cause or affect it, so it was cause for concern. My staff and I brainstormed some ideas and settled in to dig into the data and figure out what was going on.

Then the questions came. Have you considered this? Have you considered that? How is it going? Any updates? Status update in an hour.

An analysis that should have taken an hour was now taking many hours. Why don't you have answers? We should work this weekend to figure this out!

It was really frustrating.
