I’m not sure if this is just me, but it drives me nuts when I see someone answer a question (for example in the questions section on an amazon product page) to just say that they don’t know or they give an unrelated answer.

For example:

Q: Do these headphones support bluetooth and wired connections?

A: I’m not sure, but my grandson loves these!

The same goes for posts which ask a question on other sites or reviews complaining about a product, despite it doing exactly as advertised. Idk, maybe I should have posted this on unpopular opinion.

    I got one for ya. I was changing the oil in my fiancée’s car and wanted to know how to clear the “maintenance required” light so I looked it up online. First result was of course someone asking the same question to some sort of car forum. The top response? “That is something the dealership can do for you”.

    Motherfucker if I wanted the dealership to do it for me, I would have had them change my oil in the first God damn place! Jesus fuck that response just ruined my day. Utterly useless waste of kilobytes. Luckily the response right under his had the answer I was looking for. This happened like a month ago and I’m still pissed off about it.

      Yes! The amount of times I have looked something up (back in the days of Reddit) to find a post with tons of comments saying “did you google it first before asking here?”. Obviously I looked other places first else I wouldn’t be checking here.
