Why does it seem that some people would rather whine about the advice they are given2007-11-24 23:43:55

why do people answer questions and they have no idea

what they are talking about, ive seen people advise

others to do things that would kill their pets (dogs, cats

fish, etc) i mean some really dumb stuff! if you dont

know the answer and havent run into the problem before

then dont give someone bad advice,a life may depend on

it

I have experienced what you are talking about. I hang out at a LFS and some people who come there to ask questions are really weird.

Some people ask the question in such a way that they are telling you what they are doing and not really asking a question. They make out like they know EVERYTHING and when someone says something to them they brush them off as this other person is talking nonsense.

Some of them come back to the LFS later to ask again for advice and follow it while many (if not most stubborn customers) carry on loosing fish and messing up.

Sometimes the LFS is at fault as well, I got a bag full of bottom feeder algae tablets from someone who wanted stuff to remove the algae in his tank - the LFS had sold him algae tablets by mistake.

I love to listen to answers the most when I know they are more lost than me. COMMON SENSE is a lost art form thank GOD I have C. S. hahahahaha !!

Most people already have the answer in their mind that they expect (because of their own knowledge, or lack thereof) or want (because it will be easy to do) so when they find out that the solution to their problem will entail a certain amount of work on their part, they will try to discount the correct answer in favor of what they want to hear.
