Sometimes, I see the following things on WhatsApp conversations:
„Does anyone in here …” and they present a situation like „attend classes at …” or „have the phone number of …”?
Of course, the people present nothing else—who are they, and why do they need the information? This is automatically presumed to be irrelevant.
„Are you breathing?”. If you say „Yes,” then the question might follow, likely, again, incomplete.
The solution would be simple – put a detailed question, mention the reasons for which you require the information, and don’t forget to introduce yourself.
There’s another solution, this time on my part – I can ignore the message, which was so poorly formatted.
Some other types of questions: „Are you using Vodafone?” State the full question! Of course, using Vodafone is not enough; it’s just bait for long discussions.
Suddenly, if I want to help, I must answer silly questions and start asking myself.
I’m sorry. You ask silly questions. You should ask them to people who like them. I prefer to give to-the-point answers to to-the-point questions.
If by wanting to help you, I’m forced to start a conversation and grab your answers using pliers; I don’t want to help you.
You need help, and you should bring the details; don’t put your needs on me.
I’m happy to help, but you should do your best to minimize my efforts.
Finally, people find solutions to their queries but don’t bother to update the original question with „It’s fine; I found a solution.”
