Things to note
Someone walked up to me, and for the fourth or fifth time in 24 hours asked me how to do the same task. It wasn't that hard to do and were someone to google the question it shows up as the first result. I will go further and say that were you to have to ask more than once how to do it, it would have been a good idea to write down the response. So when the response from me was "you're an idiot" slipped out of my mouth, I was shocked when the offended party asked me to clarify why I said that.
I think there are simple rules of education, and it is really broken down on a person's willingness to find out things on their own. This also forms the basis of my generalization of underclassmen around me and therefore is used to apply when people begin to talk to me.
First when given a problem you look at it and begin to see what you know and try to solve the problem, you probably are an intelligent human being. I expect these types of people not to bother me because if they ask a question it has some thought behind it.
Second when given a problem, you first ask for a hint on how to do it. Yeah these are the people I begin to question why they are near me. I have a good chance of referencing you on some level of an idiot. I think the world is filled with this type of people and they wonder why things never seem to work for them, it maybe because they expect someone else to do them.
Lastly when given a problem, you must be walked thru every step. This is also known as the high school mentality. I have no problem calling you an idiot. There are some lines that shouldnt be crossed and asking to have the problem worked out for you causes me to think that maybe the college life is beyond your level to think and reason. I am pretty sure these people are where they are in life because of the efforts of people around them and not of their own volition.
In reference to all that, I have been told I should be nicer. It was just something of note.
