Poll: What annoys you on Yahoo Answers?

Question

For me, it is the ungrateful idiots you try to help, spend a bit of time answering, and they give you a thumbs down.

Or maybe the totally random deleting of your questions.

Or maybe wishing that we had a version for over 18s only.

Your thoughts?

Answer 1

people who answer a question with "answer mine" and add links

"rate me" and "am i pretty" questions

and anything about The Jonas Brothers

they should ban kids and rise the age to 18

Answer 2

Usually nothing.  I have nothing invested in any of these people so why would I care.  I usually answer questions with anecdotes and jokes BUT when I answer a question seriously (I have made a living/life of taking care of dogs/pets) and I get a thumbs down I do get ticked.  The people giving me the thumbs down are usually pet "sissies" (people who coddle their pets rather than doing what is BEST for them)  they do things like feed them garlic, table scraps and things that are truly BAD for dogs and they don't even know it.  They are so busy babying their dogs that they are slowly killing them and yet they give me a thumbs down because they don't like my "no holds barred" attitude about taking care of dogs.

I do agree with alot of the answers to your question and will give you a star.

There should be an over 18, jonas questions bore me to tears, am I pretty bothers me because it shouldn't matter and usually the answers are just mean for the sake of being mean, am I prego is ridiculous and anything to do with "answer mine" is absurd.  It's annoying to see the questions in the first place but I don't ever open them or read them because they are all the same.

Answer 3

The trolls

Answer 4

You.,

Answer 5

-people who ask "am i ugly/ attractive?" and post pictures of themselves.

-people who thumb down others for no reason (it's not necessarily the asker who gives thumbs down).

-people who choose a stupid answer over a good knowledgeable one.

-trolls

-stupid questions such as 'what is the name of this song?' then post some of the lyrics... just do a google search!!!

or how old is Britney Spears? something that could be easily searched for on the internet.

i agree with yours except for the whole over 18s thing... seeing as i'm under 18 :)

Breathers

Trolls reporting

Certain people who take things really seriously.

All the dirty little scatches who's avatars or 360 pictures are all near naked ladies but if you say hello to them they scream "RAPE". lmao.

Just joking people, I think we should have an Adult section like many others have said, then we can all be perverted together.

Answer 11

Pervs sending emails to you.

Freaks.

Answer 12

People who ask questions that could be easily searched on a search engine.

People who choose the person best answer when they have just wrote nonsense

All these annoy me

Yes there should be an over 18's yahoo answers

Answer 13

Petty People!! People Who Report EVERYTHING.  

Answer 14

cheating point whores are so lame

Answer 15

the cofee break stuff!

Answer 16

People who never bother to check and ask a question that was on Y/A only the day before.

Answer 17

The sad reporters who have nothing better to do with their time other than target certain people who have done nothing wrong.

The attention seekers who winge when people ignore them.

The ones who parade around this site acting like tarts,and then wonder why other users take a dislike to them.

The ones who give you rude and sarcastic answers and don't like it when you tell them a few little hometruths about themselves which results in them blocking you....sad,sad kids normally.

I could go on for days.....rant over..

Answer 18

Pretty much all of yours. That and bland questions.

Answer 19

People making a guess as to what the answer may be, rather than a well researched response. If  sensible questions were easy to find  answers, the sensible person who posed the questions would have found the answers.

Answer 20

trolls and spammers.as far as thumbs down,i dont think its always the questioner.i think people just thumbs down for pleasure.

Answer 27

Unreasonable reporting and people giving pervert answers.
