in Chit-Chat
This is your typical user who will ask and ask and ask for advice, and you give and give, but then user neglects all you've told them.

Don't be an AskHole please. Too many out there.

    I wish I had been the inventor of the word, but I had only known the type of people that do this, and wasn't sure what to call them!

    The AskHoles who piss me off are the ones who ask a question, get 24 great, thoughtful responses and one negative one and only ever respond to the negative one, crack the sads about how mean MFP is, then go off in a huff.

    Or a DumbAsk.... someone who asks dumb questions that they don't really need an answer to.

    So? To have such a high curiousity in asking so many questions does annoy a person? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :tongue:

    Did you read? It's when people ask countless amounts of questions, they're given the advice, neglect the advice, wonder why they're not successful again.

    Curiosity is asking something, because you seek to find the reasoning and such to what's being asked. Curiosity is not a person who asks questions only to just ignore the advice given, and sit later moaning of why they still don't know the answer..

    ..or the "Need Support with Dr.OZ Miracle Sugar Detox After Failing 6 Times. It's All That Works For Me"
    99% of people say to avoid this. 1 Person says "Me Too!" Op responds to them.

    Or, the ones that ask a question, get 24 great, thoughtful responses telling them what they don't want to hear, get one or two enthusiastic responses telling exactly what they do want to hear, and only listen to/reply to those.

    I get mildly irritated when I (and other people) go to the bother of typing out a response with the intention to help the 'askhole' and then they never respond at all.

    I know people have the attitude that communication on the internet is different to 'real life' but to me it seems just as rude as somebody completely ignoring you when you speak to them.

    A couple of times on here I have gone into to detail trying to help someone and they never so much as say 'Thanks' and ignore (helpful) others too. Or maybe come back and only reply to the negative responses. Manners cost nothing! (Aaargh, I am turning into my mother ;-). ),

    Oh yeah, I've noticed one person on here who is 'desperate' for help yet when people give her solid advice/replies to her 'Help me!' posts... Nothing. Just doesn't respond. Seems plain rude to me.

    Hangry = hungry angry person.

    and crack the sads - we use that all the time in Oz.

    EDITED to include crack the sh*ts (another favourite in Oz) = someone who gets very shirty or grumpy suddenly.

    hangry is hungry + angry, i.e. when someone's grumpy from undereating/being hungry all the time.
