Why do certain people have to open their fat mouths when they know the answer to a joke?

Some people have an ability, which I lack to, store upteem jokes in their repertoire, I envy that.\nOthers have the ability to make others feel better.\nI prefer the latter.....

In many cases when people do this, it's because they feel insecure, and being "right" helps them to feel better.  You can simply let them win, assuming that whatever they're saying doesn't matter that much.  You can say something like, "That's an interesting idea."

Because they love to play head games.Personally I don't but many do. They love to make you guess. Sometimes they just don't have the guts just to tell you straight up what they want to say. Maybe they are scared. Who knows.

Some people just don't get it!  I guess they were never taught respect for anything.  I think sometimes people don't realize the power of "words".  They may think they are writing something really clever, and funny, when actually what they write can be very offensive or hurt-full to the person asking the question.  I don't understand why some people feel the need to just answer "any" question regardless if they have an educated answer, or not.  The entire Yahoo Answers thing was set up to help people find solutions to their problems, not as a "playground"  I'm not saying that all answers should be cut, and dry.  Humor always has it's place, as long as it lends it's self to a quality answer.

I think people are more ready to give a flippant answer to a fun question than they are to answer a question about which they actually have to think or one where their answer may be wrong.

Sometimes.  It depends on who's answering.  There's some people who will be straight up honest with you and then there's smart*sses who just want a good laugh at other people's expense.

Ignorance. Plain and simple. \n\nSome people just feel so bad about themselves, that it makes them feel better to put others down. They think it makes them look cool.\n\nSome day, when they themselves have gained some weight, or they have kids and little Johnny or Jane comes home crying cause some other kid called them 'fatty', maybe then they will understand how hurtful 1 word can be.

Best thing to do, seriously, is not ignore it. It only makes you look like you are mad. Just laff it off with them and make a joke back. No big deal. Alot of people make jokes at other's expense because they feel insecure themselves. It makes them feel bigger, better. It's lame. Just smile and laff, and know inside, they feel like a loser.

Making jokes about other people is not necessarily about whether or not they are likely to see them.  For one thing, they might have friends who use the Internet who will tell them.  But the basic idea is that you shouldn't be making insulting comments about people anyway.  The people who do read them can be offended, just because they respect the Amish.  And they display a coarse sense of humor and a bigotry that is inappropriate.  It's like the tree that falls in the forest when no one hears it: it will still be laying on the ground when someone shows up to see it.  And it will still be laying on the ground even if nobody ever sees it.\n\nMaking rude jokes about other people is not appropriate.  It's just not.

Because they want to be told they are thin.  Incidentally, regardless of how it makes them look--you NEVER tell them it makes them look fat.  You always tell them how beautiful they are and before long they begin to look the way you tell them they are.

There are a couple different reasons for this one is, some people don't know how to express their feelings and they just want to fore get about their problems so, when you ask they explode. Perhaps it is a sensitive issue, and they can't talk about it because they feel stupid and that no one will understand. Also Some people, which would be in most cases, like attention and to make themselves noticed at every moment so they make a big deal of nothing to get recognized. Just try to ignore them it is hard but you have to try. These are the main reasons for people bursting out when you simple ask them something.

People tend to leap to an easy conclusion or rationale when they think they are unable to understand the theory or the topic.  This occurs when they don't want to be embarrassed or when they are being "cute" to cover up their self-doubts.

Why do people answer to questions without knowing s**t?
340851
Only some men do this, and they probably do it for exactly the same reason that some women sulk when you dont give the correct answer to them.\n\nSome people react childishly.

Only answer questions you have something to say about, even if its just a funny remark. Alot of people my try to answer all the questions, but I don't think they know what their talking about half the time, and it makes them look stupid.
