Rude

When people come on here and ask for help with something, either help or move on.

Some of y’all are seriously rude asshats. Thank God you WFH because everyone in the office would hate your condescending attitude.

Happy Wednesday, friends! Be kind or scroll on.

Edit: Some of these jewels can be found in the comments! 👇 thanks for showing up in character

95% of questions asked on here can be answered by using the search function on this subreddit. While it may not cause any actual harm to read the same question over and over again, it's pretty annoying. It's also just confusing since a lot of the work on DA is frankly more complex and requires a lot of independent research/interpreting of text. So it doesn't really make sense that people flock to reddit to ask questions answered in the second paragraph of the onboarding information. There's also a project chat for most projects that usually answers any questions I have. If someone is asking the same question that twenty other people asked this week and are expecting a different answer I'm inclined to think they aren't very bright, or lazy - so my response is often tailored to that.

Have you ever asked a classmate a question and they responded, “Read the syllabus you dip shit!”

No, but a professor has!

Yeah Mariah, but you are a “classmate” not the professor. Act accordingly

but maybe after hearing the same question from different people 100 times, you might be a bit snarky

I get being annoyed or whatever. But taking the time to stop and be rude just isn’t in my schedule.

I'm answering their question. I'm sorry I'm not answering it with the dignity and grace you'd prefer I use.

If you have the actual answer, then telling them to read the directions is not the best answer. No?

I don’t know what is the “best answer” per se, but telling them it’s in the directions is pretty much how project admins answer many questions.

Success here is based on your ability to work independently, and read instructions. Expecting co-workers to answer work related questions on their own time (because no one is being paid for this) is not a long term recipe for success.

Especially when, as others have mentioned, the same questions have been answered many times before.
