Diso Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 There will be cases where trying to help someone blows up in your face. I try to be helpful when I can. I don't mind it when people don't appreciate the help I try to give. I mean, it's really either I don't know about it and I just don't help, or I know something about it and I give input on it so that person can go on with their day. Yeah it's annoying when the same person asks you the same thing, but sometimes the easiest solution or w/e (rtfm case) doesn't always work so that's probably why they're asking you the same question again. Unless they're just being forgetful or ignorant I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 This has happened to me a dozen times. It's just a part of life. It's also the funny thing about the Internet. A lot of people decide to help people for free, in fact message boards have been defined as this nowadays. Some people are thankful for the help and others are spoiled to always have someone take their hand and walk them to the bathroom. If you don't walk them to the finish line, they'll get pissed at you, and send you annoying messages until you tell them exactly what to do step by step. It's like teaching a child to ride a bike. Eventually, you got to let go of the child's back and let him ride for a while, and if he falls, he'll get back up and ride farther. Until finally, he can ride on his own.

Gryph Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 That's the one of the reasons I took IM info out of my profile. Some people would IM me for help and then curse me out if I was gone or unable to help them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSoaka420 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 i once helped out this guy back when i was still living on the streets. the motherflocka wanted me to give him some cash so he can buy himself some liquor. i knew the guy so it wasn't really no prob. he went to the liquor store and got himself a keg of beer and then threw it up all over the floor. then he blamed me for it! i told t-smallz give me a flockin bat, and i wacked him in the ballz. he told me later it bled pretty bad, but what the flock, ya know? that's not a way to treat someone who gives you some money. piece of crap redneck.
