let’s stop arguing. OP just post this to rant if you’re upset about being yelled at.
Yes. Let’s be civil
#no
it’s normal if they’re assholes.
Regardless of its ubiquity, its never ok
These people sound verbally abusive. No, this is not a normal response.
asking questions you already know the answer to does not lend itself to your credibility or public perception of your intelligence
I think OP is asking a genuine question. If you’re screamed at 24/7 you could think it’s normal.
the only way you could be sure is if you are an alt. otherwise, its pure conjecture.
personally, even people ive known who get yelled at all the time understand that is not a normal thing. i find op disingenuous, if not an outright troll.
imho, op should post this to rant but decided to post this to ask. seems like they just wanted to vent.
also, there are many people who wonder if this behavior is normal, especially if they constantly get yelled at by every single person they ask a question to. it’s not normal, but it is for them.
not everyone who posts questions like these is stupid or a troll just because you wouldn’t think it’s normal. i think op just misplaced the post
fine. Let me rephrase this. “Does anyone else get yelled at for asking basic questions.”
