People who answer the wrong question

Best Questions asked are those asked by someone who has already got their own answer, but want you to answer, and validate their decision. Yet given a better answer they refuse all other answers, and go with their own decision anyway!!

I see it in the deer forum often. And the on topic and campfire too.

But someone asks one question and someone answers a different question that "kinda" goes along. But maybe not really pertaining at all to the question.

I see this in everyday life as well. People not listening and then thinking they are super smart about a situation.

Makes me want to tell them to close it most of the time and to listen better.

So what do y'all do? Re ask or just nod and move on?

I started a few threads before. I know how to add Smiley's but don't choose too in most instances. My humor is dry and sarcastic, and I'm often read nasty because I don't add a smiley at the end.
Sorry I offended you

This is a great topic. My opinion: Most people have been sucked in to thinking/believing that things are binary. Very few things in the world are as such. Second, people assume that you will ask/have an opinion like everyone else. When you state a fact or opinion that is not binary, it is hard for many to comprehend. Ex: I did not vote for nor am I a fan of Donald Trump. I cannot stand Hillary and did not vote for her. Further, I will not tolerate people who personally attacked Donald Trump or his family. This throws people for a loop, and they incorrectly assume that I am some huge Trump fan......They don't listen.
