I’m not sure if this is just me, but it drives me nuts when I see someone answer a question (for example in the questions section on an amazon product page) to just say that they don’t know or they give an unrelated answer.

For example:

Q: Do these headphones support bluetooth and wired connections?

A: I’m not sure, but my grandson loves these!

The same goes for posts which ask a question on other sites or reviews complaining about a product, despite it doing exactly as advertised. Idk, maybe I should have posted this on unpopular opinion.

    The worst are the ones who give 1 star when they CLEARLY did not even bother to read the actual description of the product.

    NESPRESSO COFFEE PODS: Exist and are clearly labeled as such.

      That drives me crazy and also the reviews who leave a confusing number of stars compared to their comment. “Best food I’ve ever had in my life, no complaints!” 3 out of 5 stars

      I run an online business and the vast majority of people who contact me daily ask a question that is literally answered in the first sentence of the description.

        I post rental properties when they’re available on places like marketplace and the # of people who read zero of the words in my description drive me fucking bonkers. Like you’re looking for a place to live, mother fucker. Maybe read the ad to see if it’s a place you’d want to be?

        My favourite is when my ad says “THIS IS AVAILABLE August 1” and they say “is this available tomorrow?”

        If it was available now, the ad wouldn’t fucking say the date it’s available.

        Or the random “Is this available?” click. Like fuck of course it is, I’m just coolly receiving a hundred messages on Facebook on this apartment and I only have it advertised because it’s not available. 🤪

          Some of the people posting on those platforms do not seem to know how to take a post down or alter it so people can see its not available anymore or reserved or something so i kind of get it.

          On the other hand, if its just that question and nothing more its wasting both of your time which is another kind of infuriating altogether. Just like saying “Hi” and waiting for a reply. Just tell me what you want man. :D

        Yep exactly. It also doesn’t make a damned bit of difference that you’ve worded it so clearly a lawyer could cry, and made them agree to a simple acknowledgement.
