Why don't people read the entire question before answering...?

butterscotchx2

Just in a rush, too tired, or jumping to conclusions while skimming the "details" part. I must admit, I have been guilty of that, and realizing later that I missed or erred on a pertinent fact. OOPS! I'm sorry, I'll try to slow down and be more careful.
but, uhhh, what'd you say again? Did I answer the right question?

Is that your final answer?

some people just like to proof read

It is called laziness or greediness (for the 2 pts), which ever best applies.

lelekid4ever

Because the main point of Yahoo! Answers IS just the bold question, not the entire explanation.

BreannaRocks:-P

I do but some people just don't like to read because they think they have better things to do (AKA: be lazy).

StraightDrive

Impatience, reading flaws, thinking flaws, so many reasons. We are alll human.

Hold em Rox.

It's a pretty long book, see if you can find the cliff notes version.

Karl H

a-mazed

Quantity vs Quality ---- problem's been around forever . . .

rltouhe

Because sometimes some peoples questions are too long and just go on and on and on.

banshee

My problem is that I answer the question and then they add a comment later that makes my answer look really lame... I blame it on the question person, lol.

I think sometimes squirrels can be a real pain in the @ss.
Couldn't agree more.
Even wombats are better educated and sociable.

Reaper King

quick two points or some people just like being the first to answer

crazygreeniis

some people are just going for the two points, some are just answering what they want to answer, some just see what they can relate to, and some are just full of $h!t.. ;-P

BTW isn't this question mis-categorized. lol

Eternity

I agree with you. Sometimes I get answers which are irrelevant to the real question asked.

Notnadia

Oops! Me too!

Ghost eye

For points i guess

niffer's mom

Because we're into instant gratification?

rb_cubed

Sometimes the question is too long and rambling. Just get it over with. Let's not write a whole book as to why I don't know Jack Twit!

we have made our opinion about a question and the person behind it as soon as we see the listed-part.
but as you said: sometimes the main point is in the smaller written section....

Arabella

I always read the entire question, no matter how long it is. I'm not lazy, unlike some people on here. Reading the whole question is very important if people expect to give quality answers that are actually helpful.
