Why to people always just vote for the first answer they see to a question?

Update:

Woah there, horsy! I just read Tina's response:

"The don't, you're just generalizing".

Well yes, Tina, I most certainly AM generalizing! Which means that it is untrue for me to say "people always...", it is even more untrue for you to say "people don't...".

Another way of looking at it is by seeing the vote tallies after I put this question to vote. Good luck at answer #4, sister!

p.s....I appreciate that you do read all the answers. :)

    They don't. You're generalizing. I read the answers and then vote.

    They aren't concerned about actually giving an opinion. They are just trying to rack up points.

    because they are to lazy to read the other possible answers
