| Mar 27, 2022 at 4:39 | comment | added | Brian | More evidence that most people are only concerned with what 'they' want, and don't really think twice about others. I was in line at FedEx, and a teenage girl walked right up to the counter and said, "Excuse me. I'm really in a rush! I can't wait in line, or I'll be late!" You shoulda seen some of the stares she got! But when the clerk asked if the girl could be helped first, no one said anything. So, it's good this list is here. We're saying something about it! | |

| May 9, 2016 at 15:39 | comment | added | Jacob Vlijm | @DamianYerrick Hah, now you are getting serious, while this post was meant in an absurd way :). The truth is however that in 99% of the cases, people (OP) either respond within 24 hrs or never. Personally, I appreciate it if people make it concrete and reliable when they are (un)able to respond. People sometimes spend a lot of time writing a good answer (in their spare time by definition, no one is payed here), which makes it a two-way thing imho. | |
| May 9, 2016 at 15:28 | comment | added | Damian Yerrick | A practical problem with 3: Question on Friday half an hour before leaving work, answer an hour later, and a reply first thing on the following Monday is already 64 times. Or ought users to be obligated to avoid 3 by checking AU while off duty? Is a "thank you for the answer; I will try it when I return to work" comment expected? | |
| May 9, 2016 at 14:07 | comment | added | Carl H | I always really appreciate a question that includes a comedy mis-spelling of Ubuntu. Such as, Ubanto, Unbuntu, Obonto, Ubando, Unununto. | |

| May 6, 2016 at 4:17 | comment | added | andrew.46 Mod | Your question should include the following: 'PLZ HELP ME!!'.... | |
| May 4, 2016 at 7:05 | comment | added | Fiksdal | Hahaha. This is good. | |
| May 3, 2016 at 14:32 | comment | added | user364819 | @SomeoneSomewhere: Yeah, it's very annoying when they don't say what they've already tried and they really want to keep you hanging and begging them to tell you, and they might tell you a little bit in bad English so you can't even really understand what they are saying... But the chances are when you post an answer they will say "Already tried that but didn't work" and downvote you even though they never mentioned they tried that! | |
| May 3, 2016 at 11:36 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | Another fun one I like is "don't forget to tell people not to close your question as an obvious duplicate because you want an answer all to your self" Thats always useful here. An amusing related post on the meta meta meta.stackexchange.com/questions/99062/… | |
| May 3, 2016 at 11:26 | comment | added | SomeoneSomewhereSupportsMonica | @MarkKirby Even better is when they say 'I already tried everything' - clearly, your answer falls under 'everything' so why did you bother to post it? | |

One of the things that most pisses me off is when people handle solved questions incorrectly. For instance when they comment that they have solved it, often not even saying how, and if they do then the best you can do is get the question closed as unreproducible as they will never come back to you with an answer. They also may just edit their question to include the answer and often put something like [Solved] in the title. Or when someone answers their question and it solves their issue they sometimes comment to say "Thanks that worked!", but they never accept the answer.

Typos are distracting

| May 1, 2016 at 10:19 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | Number four is my favorite, I love nothing more than spending thirty minuets researching and writing a great answer only to be told "I already tried this" or better yet "I don't use Ubuntu" and get downvoted by the OP because they did not include what they tried in the question, it really makes my day. :) | |
