What do YOU think is annoying to you about Yahoo Answers?

I mean, don't get me wrong : Yahoo Answers is great!

It's helpful, and you gain a lot of information from all kinds of people rather than just calling a bunch of friends and trying to save your info and all.

But there is Always something we all find as an annoyance/ pet peeve and we hate.

Mine is when people have the lyrics of a song (or vice versa) and ask for the title of it. I mean, what's so hard about typing for it yourself and looking for it in google or yahoo?!

Also whenever you find a question that has just been open, you read the WHOLE thing, understand it and spend like 5 minutes working on a really lengthy long answer while someother person just writes like 2 words just for the 2 points.

Another thing for me is when someone asks a question and poor thing, they get all these silly stupid answers. How annoying is that?!

These things have nothing to do with YA really, its just the pplz who answer it; ask.

So.. what do YOU find annoying here??

Update:

Heh.

Just curiose really.. @_@

    People insulting other users, is by far, my biggest pet peeve here. I just don't understand why they want to ask questions while verbally attacking otehr usres. The same can be said for the ones who answer their questions, also using insulting language. I feel there's already a complete lack of respect in cyberspace, like in our society in general. Now this is the place to get help and dispense advice, not cause this childish nonsense. If people want to continue verbally attacking others, then they should take this garbage elsewhere. They should know their actions are strictly forbidden in the Community Guidlelines. Any offending Q&A posted by the user will be deleted on the spot, no excuses. I can't tolerate this garbage on ths site; neither should you or anybody else who uses this service.

    Actually the worst thing is spending the 5-15 minutes writing a really good answer with sources and the Asker picks the person with the 2 word answer.

    However as a teacher I am upset by those that ask someone to write their essay, give them answers for a test, or write their poem for them. I even see one person that was asking for a professional author to improve her writing for her. She claims it was a school assignment for them to find a professional author.

    And the other thing is the people that answer with no answer but claim they have the best answer and it is just an AOL profile.

    I hate when people use it to express hate. I'm all for freedom of speech and the first amendment and all, but you can express your views in a nice way, without the whole world knowing you are anti-Semitic or anti-liberal or anti-conservative. You can claim one group is the best, but you shouldn't make other people feel offended. At least, not too bluntly. If they are over-sensitive, that's their problem, but just play nice on here.
