Dog Section- Your biggest pet peeves in Questions?

What can you absolutely not stand (grammar, content, anything-wise) when browsing through questions here?

Ex: I hate when people spell every single word wrong. I understand a few mistakes, but there is a line there somewhere.

Legit: As Groomers, how much do you expect to be tipped on a dog? As clients, how much do you tip your groomer?

Update:

Okay, so my groomer add on was so I could learn a bit.

Our newest addition is a Standard Poodle/Golden mix and I left the groomer a $10 tip. I didn't feel like I tipped enough (he did a GREAT job) but this is also the first time I've ever had to use a groomer.

    Pet Peeve: when people are completely closed minded and refuse to learn something new

    Legit: Depends on the service. Just to get his nails clipped, I tip $3 (because it makes it an even $10, which is easy LOL). For a bath, ears and teeth brushed in addition to the nails I tip $15 (because it makes an even $60 LOL)

    I cant stand the breeding questions...Now I know this is an answers forum but I just get peeved. Obviously these people aren't qualified to be breeding and I just don't like the fact that these people are basically playing with lives.For what? for money?for experimentation?its just disgusting.Its not about the betterment of the breed or the health of the dogs.These people put the mother at risk and the puppies...also its like why don't you look up the question before you ask because the same question has been asked a million times DAILY!

    I tip my groomer 5-15 dollars on occasion(maybe if I ask for a special cut or something)...I get my dogs groomed on a regular basis(every 3months for my yorkies,7-8weeks for my toy poodle) plus they already have pretty good coats and are easy to groom(as far as they like it and arent hard to handle) so I feel like im a reliable client and don't always have to tip...That sounds cheap lol...but I tip more then not.Its just that whole trip usually ends up costing $130+.

    Spelling, abbreviations, grammar etc. (I try to make sure mine is all correct)

    Asking questions that should be directed at a Vet.

    All the teacup, hybrid crap ( I get so sick of saying that teacups are for drinking tea and a Hybrid is a merging of two species, not 2 breeds)

    Asking questions about breeding after the deed is done, has anyone ever heard of research?

    All the ignorant crap being said about Pits and other Bullies.

    Some People in general bother me, same ignorant crap coming from there mouths every time. They never bother to learn anything new.

    People that are just rude, ignorant , uninformative, etc...

    I know some of the people above have the same issues as me.

    Losing some of my contacts, I really look forward to questions they post and the answers they give.

    Legit: I never take them to a groomer, but will make sure I tip if I do, did not know they got them.

    What should I name my new dog?, How do I convince my mom, dad, uncle, etc to let me have a dog?, I'm looking for a purebred ickypoo or ickydoodle. Where can I find one for $50?, What is the best food to feed my dog?, and those are the ones that drive me the craziest.

    Legit: As a former groomer, I liked getting tips however, I didn't expect or demand them. To me they were a reward for a job well done. If someone were to do a good job grooming my dogs, I'd tip them at least 10%.

    The ignorant breeding questions get on my nerves the most.

    Legit- My dog's grooming costs $34 and I tip $8. So around 23%.

    I always go to the same groomer, so we have a good relationship.

    Besides the ones already mentioned by the others, I can't stand the same few questions being asked over & over & over again like now for fleas, shedding etc. Usually if they were to scan the page they would see the same question already being asked.

    I am groomer so I don't tip myself. Normally I am tipped $5 - $10 for small dogs & given large tips for xmas.

    Edit: $10 is good though. Just tip bigger at holidays if you feel you under-tipped.

    When I had a small dog, I'd tip the groomer $5 if the job was done right. For my big dog, $10 or $15 if I can afford it.

    P.S. I hate it when people use too much "shorthand" or ask stupid questions like "what time is it where you live?"

    1.When people could easily look up answers on google, but they rely on Y/A as their main source.

    2. When people ask stupid questions such as "is my dog in labor?"

    3."What breed of dog should i get?"

    4."Why is my dog having trouble breathing?"

    5."Should i bring my dog to the vet?"

    6.Can i breed my dog?

    7. Can I breed my dog with aggression toward other dogs?

    8.My parents won't let me have a dog, what do i do?

    9. Can you find me a cheap dog?

    10. Is it a good idea to buy from a petstore?

    When someone agrees to buy a dog, but doesnt know anything about the breed, and ends up asking us all these question and when i say you should have looked all this up before you choose to get the breed, I get all these thumbs down!

    When someone buys from petstores and asks us if its a good idea.

    When they ask us if their is something wrong with the dog, and obviously it needs immediate medical attention! Ex: My dog's ear is almost torn off what do i do? My Dog's nose is bleeding really bad? My dog wont put any pressure on his front leg? Just those small stupid questions.

    Rant also bothers me very much!

    I could go on and on about more sections in Y/A! but i wont.

    Why can't people just use basic English skills when asking questions. One or two misspelled words are not to bad but trying to decipher bad spelling and no grammar whats so ever makes it almost impossible.

    Legit: I never realised you were supposed to tip the groomer, opps. How much should the tip be?
