Does this frustrate you ?

You're going through questions, and there's one that you think you have a very good/ interesting answer to. But by the time your stiff and not well trained fingers type in what you have to say, 10 other pepole have already said it.

Update:

Hey, I just meant for this to be a fun thing. I do still submit, and I don't get upset about it.

    Happens all the time. I usually answer anyway pretending not to notice a dozen other people already gave the info. I always hope I said it better!

    Yes, I know exactly what you are talking about. Then, the asker will ask another question of why people keep giving the same answer. Well, when I started, there was no answer, and by the time I submit one, there are 10 ahead of me.We need to get a Mavis Beacon cd and learn to type. LOL

    Yes, this happens. I check in this category different times during the day and when I see a huge total of answers, I refrain. Sometimes it is best that I did not answer some of them. Keep on answering or asking. That is what keeps this interesting.

    Sure it does...but what is worse is that you spend a lot of time getting it exactly right and when you hit the submit buttom...you find the question was just closed for answers. Now that is really frustrating!

    I have a lot of pain in my hands. So I type slow

    .Frustrated lol you bet Yesterday,

    I was not feeling good and I thought if I came to answers it would help me not dwell on the pain I was in. My back and legs hurt. and I was getting a migraine.

    I liked this one question. I had got differnt websites. A few words I had to look up the spelling. i took a lot of time on it.

    poof it was gone

    deleted and I did not get to post it.

    lol !!!!!

    not a good evening.....

    No it doesn't frustrate me. I post my opinion before I ever look at what other people say. It usually takes me a while to get mine typed too. It is still *your* opinion no matter how many others have already said it. There may be someone who is interested in knowing *your* opinion independent of those of other people.

    I always read the question and answer right away. Then read the other answers on the way back up. It often happens but that is okay. Great minds think alike I say.

    No, but I hate it when I do submit and then scroll up and read the others answers and find most are better than mine. Then I feel stupid. What's worse is when mine is almost identical to someone else's. I should read the answers first, but rarely do.

  • yes its definitely frustrating, I can type pretty well and it seems like when I'm thru typing 5 other responses are already there. Don't worry about it though, nothing to get too upset over.

    At least in the senior section it's only 10 answers! In the mainstream where there are all of these fast "youngsters," there may be 25 answers!
