Do you people keep posting the same inane questions over and over and over, or am I just having deja vu?

Some of you scream " Hep me! Hep me!" and then expect me to do all 25 of your homework problems; those I won't touch with a ten foot pole!

Look at your periodic tables, for God sake!

Read your textbook rather than talk to friends and/or the other sex in class!

Listen to what your teacher says in class rather than (see statement above!).

Read the handouts and worksheets your teacher gives you...although if that is all he/she does, and never attempts to explain anything...no wonder you're frantic!

Imagine how long I have to look just to find a question that doesn't look like it was IM'd by a chimpanzee!

OK, Officer, I'll climb down off of my soapbox now, and let some other nutter have his chance.

People gotta vent, sometime!

    I hate it when I spend like 20 or 30 minutes to solve some complicated, multi-step problem carefully explaining each step of the process and often giving a way to check and verify the answer is correct. And the asker picks somebody who has done the problem totally wrong as best answer! Or sometimes when I submit the answer, I find the asker has withdrawn the question!

    Also, those people who always say "10 points for best answer" and then never go back and pick a best answer (very annoying)!

    I understand your frustration, inane is the word. Repetition is another. "Do you believe in aliens?" "Can we travel in time?" "How long does it take the Earth to turn once on its axis?" "Does space end?" These are just a few examples, others must spend hours devising complicated questions about rate of fall. At one time I found it enjoyable going through the questions, now it is a waste of time, I look once a week and give up.
