Especially when a seemingly serious Q is asked, and you take time to think about it and give a thoughful answer, then the Asker picks some dumb one-liner answer, or someone who is just wrong??

Well sometimes yes like when someone asks for advice on how to get a guy and someone says wear a thong that shows and that gets best answer that drives me insane.

Yes It does In that way There Our Many Times I Think of a good Answer And/Or give what I feel s a good Answer And then the Person Picks a Yes or No Answer What bugs Me also is when I give a good answer and the person or yahoo removes the Question I understand why yahoo does But I don't Understand Why the Person Does It. Like a few Weeks ago I gave a real detail answer what someone wanted know about a singer It took me about 5 minute to do it it was on for 3 days and then it was removed that bug me

Kinda sorta. Not so much for opinion questions...
...but when they are very specific questions about my field of expertise (e.g. chemistry) and I *know* my answer is right, then the poster either picks a one-liner or an answer that is incorrect. This is how misinformation propagates through our society :-(
But I don't lose a lot of sleep over it...Y! answers is much like the real world where people have fact staring them straight in the face, yet they often choose to ignore it because it is inconvenient or otherwise bothersome.

Pretty much, but I try not to lose sleep about it. If people reward stupid/inaccurate answers with 'BEST', they probably weren't too sincere about getting a good answer. Or wouldn't have known what to do with it, either.
What really shorted my sheets was when I spent about 15 minutes explaining to a woman how she was letting her son grow up to be a juvenile delinquent, with options on becoming an adult criminal, with suggestions on how to counter the poor behavior, and when I checked back, the question had been deleted. Guess I wasn't the only one wasting time that time. (I put SO much into that one that 'spell check' shorted out! Couldn't handle the volume, I infer.)

Yeah, totally. Sometimes i check some of my old answer that haven't been picked as Best Answers, and i get upset a lot, because there was this one question asking something like "What's your point here on Y! Answers" and i answered it thoroughtly, spend like 15 minutes on that one answer and later on i found out that the Best Answer to that question was a "i don't know". But sometimes when the Best Answer is really better and more informative than mine, then i'm okay with it and i think the person deserves it. Overall, you can't have all your answers being best answers. :)

I always try to give a good and honest answer at least when it's a good question deserving of one as that's all I can do. I really don't care too much if I get best answer and when I get one, it's nice.

No. It just means that the person that asked the question thought that someone came up with a better answer or the voters picked someone else. Sometimes they prefer jokes over seriousness, it depends on the that person.

No, it doesn't annoy me. Once I answer a question, I pretty much forget about it. Best Answers should be rare and hard to get. That way, when I do get a Best Answer, it's feels that much sweeter.

yep. Like this one question... someone wanted to know if whipping cream was ok to use for making Alfredo sauce... I took the time to explain to them the difference between whipping cream and whipped cream and everything... so they picked "No dont use that it comes in a can and itll taste bad" as best answer.

the flip side, though, is that sometimes you'll get best answer for an answer that just popped right out of your head without any thought....you're amazed you got 10 pts for that and not an answer you might have put more effort into
