There's nothing more frustrating than finding somebody trying to solve a problem with the same constraints you have, clearly explaining the problem and those constraints, and having the answers run along the lines of "in my opinion those constraints aren't reasonable, here's an easy way to do it ignoring what you've explained in your question without even a nod toward how to do it the "wrong" way you're being forced to do this".


This. It's like they need a justification for why you want to do something in order to give you any help.


ALL THE TIME. Instead of answering, they just badger you about WHY you want to something.
