Am I the only one who notices that some people don't read all the answers and then gives an answer that has already been given and debated to DEATH?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46812points) March 26th, 2014

I had to ask this. It was required so I had to ask. The reason I had to ask was because it was required, so I asked it.

Did you really have to ask it? I mean, was it really required of you or did you just ask it because you wanted to or you gave in to peer pressure?

Coloma's avatar

It can happen on occasion to anyone and I concur with @Judi .
No offense Dutchie but, you’re kinda annoying today.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I am not annoying! Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

I know I’ve done it too, but I always apologize in advance and tell folks that I haven’t read the other answers and why. Usually because of time constraints.

Dutchess_III's avatar

@ibstubro “Miami” is actually from a story about my then 6-year-old grandson. He was pretending to be a pilot with my mom. After about 5 minutes of flying all over the country he asked where she wanted to go next. She said, “Take my to Miami.”
He said, “Well, I can’t take you to your ami because I sell jewels now.

GloPro's avatar

The voices told me you were gonna ask it.

XOIIO's avatar

@whitenoise Yeah, I mean, did it really need to be asked? Maybe it was peer pressure.

Berserker's avatar

I believe it was peer pressure. I wonder if this needed to be asked.

whitenoise's avatar

Just struck me…

Do people even read their own answers? Do they actually just think and reflect before posting an answer? Or would they just type anything that comes to their mind? Just to be able to answer?

Why is it that people just seem to answer without even processing their own earlier input to the same (!!!) question?

Worse: the same even holds true for posting opening questions, I feel.

Why is their such a need to ask questions like this… Might it be peer pressure?

I think I should post a question on that in META.

@CWOTUS And your point being?

whitenoise's avatar

@janbb.
Do you really need to ask?

janbb's avatar

@CWOTUS I had to ask this. It was required so I had to ask. The reason I had to ask was because it was required, so I asked it.

Dutchess_III's avatar

OMG @CWOTUS talk about required peer pressure. Whut is wrong with you???

ibstubro's avatar

Time flies like the wind, fruit flies like bananas.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Are the fruit flies under peer pressure to like bananas you think?

ibstubro's avatar

I’m sure, there lots of pear pressure in the fruit fly community.

janbb's avatar

And…..it’s a stop!

ibstubro's avatar

What kinda intersection, @janbb? Is it just a one-way stop, like at a T in the road, or is ii something more complicated? I’m good, with a one-way or a two way. But wait, I guess a T in the road could be a three-way, and that sounds kinda tricky. I hate 4-ways, not because they don’t make the traffic flow smoothly, but because a busy 4-way will meter the traffic out on the 2 streets involved so regularly that it’s murder pulling out on those streets from anywhere but at the 4-way stop.

But wait! If you’re talking about lighted stops, a 4-way is fine. I actually prefer the 4-way lights with the traffic camera. Most generate revenue from the out-of-towners. The thing I wonder is WHY it seems like once a light is installed, it can almost never be removed! I mean, if a light is put in because of a specific business traffic at an intersection and the business goes out, why can’t the light just be turned off?

Berserker's avatar

whoa d00d

Dutchess_III's avatar

I hate the peer pressure I feel to stop and stop signs and stop lights.

ibstubro's avatar

I hate the peer pare pressure I feel from my pears.

(Wait! STOP! If I Fluther further, I’ll end up on my 5-worded alteration question!)

There are strange things done in the midnight sun

But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.

Now Sam McGee was from Tennessee, where the cotton blooms and blows…...
