Let's see. No mater how quick you fix is:

sitting in front of the bug report to see what needs to be fixed?
Well yes - but just because I know how to fix a bug in theory, doesn't
mean I'm actually going to fix the bug :P

So hypothetical situation
*I'm bored one day and decide to fix a bug. For sake of argument lets
say I'm not in an internet zone.
*I go somewhere to get wifi. upload my patch to gerrit
*I comment on bug that there's a patch in gerrit. I also assign the
bug to myself.
In this situation I'm really unclear on what the point of taking the
bug is. By the time I have the ability to mark the bug assigned, I've
already done it. If someone happens to fix the bug in the intermediate
time, while that happens sometimes. For a quick fix bug, I'm not going
to be upset about it.
