Thread Name: stupid questions
Subject: RE: stupid questions
I can usually deal with honest questions from people who seem not-too-bright...they are often doing the best they can.

My pet peeve is lazy questions from people who could easily find the answer, but just want it all done FOR them.

I have a little mental exercise I do sometimes..(sort of a Zen thing) of sitting and trying to imagine being someone who truly doesn't think, cope, understand or comprehend the simplest concepts and relationships in this big world. I can't really do this, but it is a way to gain a tiny bit of tolerance.
