Posters who continue to moan about a problem, while steadfastly ignoring the blatant solution

[Organictangerine]

Is it me, or are these types of threads infuriating?

Second only to the ‘missed out a key detail and will ignore any request to supply it’ ones!

Sometimes people need sympathy, not solutions.

It’s hard to sympathise if they’re choosing to suffer though

Don't forget the ones who ignore the 99 posters pointing out that they are being unreasonable, whilst replying to the 1 batshit one telling them they're right.

Sometimes the 99 who are saying the OP is unreasonable are taking a ridiculous stance just for the sake of being disagreeable.

Haha yes @DanielRicciardosSmile

’Thanks for all the support’

What all 2 messages… out of 300…

And sometimes one person does that because they think they’re making a point…

I get what you’re saying, OP. I also can’t stand threads (or indeed real-life situations) where there are two clear options, but whichever one people advise them to take, they come up with a reason why it won’t work. Okay, so you don’t particularly like either option - you’ve got to pick one of them!

It just seems very churlish when people take the time to write thoughtful responses to be dumped on with Moan Part 2

Ahhh, people who have a problem for every solution. Don’t you just love ‘em?

Its sometimes not that easy to take he first step.
Although I agree, don't ask for advice if you are not prepared to hear the answers.

I tend to assume they're either:

1. On a wind up


2. Desperately peddling a reverse


3. On the scrounge for the naïve posters who say "sent you a pm" because suddenly realising you have two pence ha'penny, no food in the cupboard, no nappies and no gas/electric at 10pm on the Saturday night before a bank holiday so naturally the first thing you think of is "must make an account on MN and ask for help" doesn't strike them as a teeny bit suspicious.
