When the answer is important or time sensitive, I 'notify' that thread so I get an email if someone answers.  (Often no one answers and) after a bit I 'unnotify'.

When people respond to a post without quoting it (especially when the response is a few posts later).
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

For accountants: Every single person you meet is like "what's this 1095b thing?"
It's getting annoying and has to stop.

When people who don't know me think that they have my life story all figured out, & if 90% of the population could do something then I could as well if I would just change things. Well, you don't know me or anything about my life or any circumstances that might not allow me to do it.
PS. Not everything is about time or money or about a different or better job.
