Looking at you, Stack Overflow.
"Just do this!".... Which - it turns out - is impossible, bollocks, or both (AKA impossiballs).
But it takes you the rest of the night to figure that out, and next morning you're like:
JUST DO THIS, THEY SAID. JUST! HOW ABOUT JUST FUCK OFF THEN?
in the bus queue.
"I need to do X using technology Y"
"Just use technology Z"
sure bro I'll suggest to my boss we rewrite two million lines of code to use your favourite thing
"A MODERATOR [who has contributed nothing to the issue and likely hasn't talked to the OP]" HAS LOCKED THIS THREAD AS SOLVED"

Me reading the forum thread after learning the subject: “who the hell are these idiots?”
Google: first result is the forum
Then proceeds to describe in detail some totally unrelated or outdated process, signing off with "hope that helps!"

1. Did you even try to figure it out, most people learn best through trial and error.

>>Google’s top result is that same forum post.
How do I do X
Answer (10 years ago): that is an incredibly inefficient solution, and should not be added to your code base under any circumstances. If you do, you will significantly slow your user's browsers.
Answer (2 years ago): that is now a feature in JS.
While a simple four-click solution exists, let's first spend 30+ naggingly frustrating posts asking about the minutiae of your system and configuration. And of course, don't forget to recount every single action you've taken over the past two hours leading up to the issue.
