You know what's incredibly lame?

People that answer a question first, but answer it incorrectly. Then when they see the correct answer further down, they go back and edit their answer to make it right. That is the lamest thing I have ever seen on this site. I know I shouldn't take this stupid thing so seriously, but those jerks are robbing me of 10 points every single time they do that!

Update:

All of you little snot-nosed punks that think you're clever will be reported, so don't bother with your sarcastic answers.

    I am rarely first with my answers, but I try to give a thorough, thoughtful answer that may have more to offer than the ones that came before me. Sometimes the people who answer the question first haven't really read the question properly, which is why they have to go back and change their answer. Sometimes, folks will just type a one letter answer to hold their place, then come back and add to their answer after reading the other answers. But like the tortoise, I hope that slow and steady will win out over the answer hares.

    I know tell me about it. It gets on my nervous. It happend to me a couple days ago. I was answering this one question. I was like the 3rd person or something. The other people before me was wroung. I knew the answer. I posted it and i was still the only one with the right answer. I came back to that question to see if there was any other answers to see what other people were saying. The guy that was the first one who answered the question put all most my same answer down to make it look i copied him! I was upset but oh well. It isn't like i can do much about it. That is why i answer harder questions in which the people who want 10 points wont look at because it looks to hard so they wouldn't bother to look at it.

    A friend who is just upset like you,

    i don't be attentive to approximately wonderful. I even have asked, and it wasn't becuase i had to be "wonderful" even with the undeniable fact that it exchange into extra just to work out if she exchange into cool with it, cuz heavily, i did no longer be attentive to. i assume it relies upon on your dating. She reported no via the way. I even have kissed devoid of asking even with the undeniable fact that, yet in those cases i exchange into extra mushy and knew i did no longer could. in line with risk he's not as look after in non-verbal communique and merely had to make sure so he did no longer get a knee between his legs.

    I got back and edit at times, only because I noticed a spelling error.

    What's incredibly lame? How about a horse with four broken legs?

    I go back and edit occasionally if I misspell a word or want to reword something.

    i know it's happened to me once before and i was not impressed! and what's even more annoying is that it looks like YOU copied the answer from them as your answer is further down...but ultimately these people have my sympathy.....
