why do people get pissed on yahoo questions when all the questioner wants to do is make someone laugh?

There are all kinds of people here - some of them don't have a well developed sense of humor. Others have a hard time understanding humor from countries other than their own. Still others struggle with English and just don't get the humor at all.\n\nKeep on, smiling - for sure someone will get it!

because people post the same questions over and over with terrible grammar, while the rest of us try to make serious questions.\n\n"Why do people"\n\n\nThis question has been posted many times, use the search feature.\n\n"why people so rude"\n"why people so mean"

Some people are just miserable and have to be rude about everything just because to them it is fun and give them pleasure.  Just ignore or report it.  But, that is what happens with the freedom of speech. But, even you have to admit that some of the questions that people ask. Are somewhat idiotic.  They asked the question and got around about way the same answer. But, then their are just plain normal questions that are getting answered stupid. But, everyone has the right to answer. Sorry, babe,  ignoring is going to be the best way out of it.

Why do people... what? (is there a point to your question?)\nshould we just fill in the blank?\n\nOk if you'd like this is the joke section... so why do people repeat stupid Jokes? Do they really think they are funny?  Were they not around when the dinosaurs walked the earth and the jokle was stated for the FIRST time? Are they THAT desperate for attention that they have to repeat such stupid oneliners?  Would you consider this question a oneliner? Is there more to your Question? are we just supposed to READ YOUR MIND through the internet connection? (SORRY... the mind reading classes are just not helping me to do that at this time) \n\nWhat was the question again? Why do people...? Oh yea that's right... did you really want an answer?\n\nHow about...\nBecause the second car was blue and it followed a green one so how could they NOT?\nIt was the only thing left to do after the ostrich did what it did...Can you believe that?\nAfter opening the box and seeing the orange thing-a-ma-jig inside what else could they have done?\nBecause not too long ago... the man with the big purple hat and 7 inch heels said they should... you wouldn't want them to piss him off would you?\nAfter all that was said and done... wasn't it the most obvious choice? What else could they have done?... possibly turned the other way but with the HUGE brick wall right there.. how would they have gotten around that?\n\nHave I answered your question thoroughly enough or will you need more information?  Because if so.. maybe the next time you should be a little more specific...don't you think?\n\nBTW... WHAT in the WORLD does my @ss's IQ have to do with ANY of THIS?  I thought that Yahoo answers was all about using your head... are you telling me I've been answering these questions with the wrong part of my body? and If so... who was it that put you incharge of determining which part of the body answers?  Are you next gonna be asking/telling us to answer with our feet?  (Personally my feet would have a better chance of TYPIN the answers... but if you are really looking for my "smart @ss" to do the typing.. just remember you asked for it...\n\nHere goes:\n\niopru[tgpiootemwwerpo[i,mwiwruop590634-0[q0[4uqaut0pujw0pui4-2w35u8049utujyyyhhmbn    ol bhngzdseo;r840wzgtnhzgnhfso;rhgol. bnnnxof;iews-0tp[wu0-p[4490304umj6ybt095856r[06[u05p6i958u5094-56[0iu750498ap568u9l99o-[ed8sw3908/0'-;.6w34xm72q3nm,9llo87pp7b3wq.l9o8790,nbmzw9qxz67c8907ITRTP;EGERONGHOE;OGOTDBGOHGBJP'TEHJMPE'GWRPWIJTWR[TUJ084W54309UMTJIOPRWSK8UT9HJ4W0SOKRZYHTW35-=045&#92;]\nEWOS0YK,7P;&#92;\n]ER&#92;2Q==3-P0=-05TE-.L[OTJ\n]LY=0OTI7]YGKPP'hVB0P-O89T0JUY50968MS0B589HJ5\n\nIS THAT ENOUGH INFORMATION FOR  YOU? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????\n\nCUZ ACTUALLY THAT WAS KINDA FUN...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who attempted to answer this with out really knowing what I was saying or if you would find any benefit from reading my answer?  For those of you answering... am I right?

Yahoo drops questions from time to time. Nothing you can do about it, so don't get mad.\nAnd..we're making fun of you because you're an easy target.

People who insult just because they didn't like your question. If you don't like it, don't answer it; jeez.\nAnd those people who put "Thanks for the 2 points" or something along those lines.

Stupid questions (such as this one) are asked repeatedly because the person asking wants attention. Basically their 15 minutes of fame. Giving them some sort of euphoric "High" when they see all the answers they receive.\n\nAsking a question costs you 5 points, so points would not be the motivation for asking a question.\n\nPeople answer the stupid questions ( and by the way, it's a crock that there is no such thing as a stupid question) because they get a feeling of superiority over the asker of the stupid question and they also enjoy their little bit of fame and attention. Some people DO answer the questions just for the 2 points and the possibility of getting chosen as the best and receiving 10 more points. They can then get up to 50 points more if people rate their best answer as the best.\nThe extra points allow them to move to higher levels and they are then able to Ask, Answer, Comment, Rate and Vote for more questions. \n\nThere are some people that answer the questions to be helpful. I try to answer serious questions to the best of my ability. It makes me happy to think that I may have helped another person with their problem. \n\nSilly, funny, rude or stupid questions....I answer them the way they should be answered. =-)

LOL - I HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR!\nHave you ever been called a name because you asked a ridiculous question - that was MEANT to be ridiculous - and people just didn't "get it"?  Happens all the time to me.  Lighten up.  Take some time to go live a life and do this (answer questions) for FUN!\nI had some people in mind when I wrote this...

Apparently one of the yahoo members that answer and ask questions found your question to be offensive thus turning you in and then having your question deleted.  It happens, some do not take kindly to what he or she feels offensive and then they report you and your question gets deleted.  I've even had one of my answers reported and it wasn't half as bad as the rest.\n\nHang in there!

I think it's stupid. I also hate that if you tick someone off with an answer they don't like, they can report you for no reason at all. This forum should be FUN, and some people ruin it for others.\nI think if someone is offended by a question or answer, he should just AVOID it!!

because they have no life and they think it's fun to keep reporting someone's question to yahoo.\nit's sad is it?\nthey should go out more and have fun outside.

I've also seen many inappropriate answers to serious questions...\n\nWhen the question is jovial, jocular or just plain funny you expect some funny answers.  \n\nMany people really have a need when they ask a question.\n\nI believe that those mocking the serious should be tagged as abusers and their answer pool examined for any "redeeming social value,"  if none is found then they should be banned from further answering without a serious review period.\n\nI think anyone can examine a list of peoples answers just by clicking on their nickname as displayed to see if they are just answering to make noise (I like your "disinformation participants" description) or to add to the subject from their vast knowledge, talent, or experiences.\n\nAnother poster said "Sad."  I agree, however, you have to endure some bad to have the good.\n\nA percentage guess?  I'm seeing about 20-40% garbage.  Some intentional, some just ignorance.  It nearly enrages me to hear (read) someone spouting reams of misinformation based on hearsay, wives tales and myth. When someone asks a serious question, they probably want to learn something from the answer--when they ask a funny one, then it's time to engage in some entertaining prose.

Either to get quick points or because they have nothing better to do. I suggest that everyone that gets annoyed like I do about these questions report them as abuse. They need a new category of abuse- "asinine".

Its better to be quiet instead of saying something stupid and being thought of as an idiot. It applies to this site because sometimes people just write stupid answers in questions and it would be better for them not to answer questions if they're not going to be serious because they'll look like idiots if they do.

Yes. that might be true. Some people are too serious to answer those funny questions and they must be those that either get offended or something else they dont like or it could be because as you said because theyre not humourous.

They're very immature, and/or so insecure that they have to put someone else down to feel better about themselves.  \n\nI personally love this site, because I like to get others' opinions on issues as well as give advice, if it's asked for.  I take it reasonably seriously.  Even if someone's asking a silly question on purpose, I'll probably answer whimsically, but never in a derogatory fashion.\n\nDon't worry, they're not the majority on here!  :)
