Thread killer inspired thread killer
 
Just wondering, it is often the content of the thread that kills a conversation rather than the poster.

So what question posted annoys the most?

Mine is when the OP gives no useful info and then wants a complete stranger to suggest what to do with their life

" I am from the Yukon territories married with 2.5 wives and 13 children, 5 huskies and a yeti. Where in NZ do I want to live?"

Hate trying to answer the impossible, so I don't bother :confused:

What yours?

I suppose, I dont particularly find anyones questions that i've read to be 'annoying'....vague, lacking direction & definition...yes but not annoying.
I just take it that sometimes people are looking to be reassured that they're not the only ones to do this & not that they are particularly asking for someone to make the decision for them :) anyhow thats just me :thumbup:

Ummm!!!
i suppose what one person find unhelpful will be enough info for another person to give an answer that is helpful :rofl: that makes sense to me but to you it may make you feel:curse: !!!

we're all different i suppose...i don't like nastiness.

I was at work the other week when someone i work with said to a student ' oh tell them that stupid question you asked me'

i was like OMG...how dare she call her question stupid, for one if she doesn't know the answer then it's a valid question and two if you put someone down like that it may stop them from asking again and they'll learn less.

:wub: love to all:wub:

most of us on here are here for the same reason to find out info or to give it out.
Some questions and threads may be pointless to some, but then so is this thread to me.
Each to their own.
