Why do people answer?

Question

Why do people answer questions the have absolutely no clue about? i have seen tons of answers that either make no sense whats so ever or are just flat out wrong.

So again i ask why do people answer questions that just make them look like total morons?

Answer 1

They might think that they know the answer-im sure you have come accross people in your life that do this on a daily basis. People you work with that get involved in conversations they know nothing about. There is always one. Also they could be interpereting the question differently than you would, there are plenty of people on here that ask bizzare questions or word them so as if we think they are speaking another language so those people deserve bizzare answers.

Answer 2

for points

Answer 3

Maybe because they are answering questions without all the information they need. @ ad previously viewed before your read: what do I need to fix my car? ** What would your answer be?? Stupid Hu?? These are questions from kids that just want to ask questions they know nothing about or are too lazy to research the answers themselves. How would we know where to find a good body shop in Tennessee if we are in Florida? See my point?

Answer 4

They do it just to get the two points for answering.  Some just like to be funny...well, they think they are funny anyway.

Answer 5

because they try to answer as best as they can they want to

Answer 6

Bugs me too, giving an answer like "take it to a mechanic" seems ridiculous when someone is clearly looking for some un-biased input to help them decide how to proceed.

Also the "always stick with the stock parts" comments that are based on nothing but an ignorance of the vehicle by the commenter.

I try to answer as if I think the individual is going to try and repair their vehicle themselves and let them decide if they think they are up to it, if not at least they are better prepared to talk to a mechanic.
