Ever see this on a list

Person 1: So I have this poorly designed problem that I need help solving

Person 2: So did you look in the manual or the api documentation at x function or y method?

Person 1: No, this is not going to solve my problem

Person 3: Can you post some sample code for what you are trying to do, then perhaps we can see your problem

Person 1: Can’t you just give me the code to do this, I want it to look like x

and so on and so on.

What is often boils down to is.

Person 1: I don’t know anything can you do this for me

Person 2: Go learn something about x before you try to make it do y

Person 1: You are a jerk, whine whine whine
