Does yahoo answers kill a lot of your time?

Question

Here I am only a level1 and I feel like I am wasting hours and hours here. Its fun and addicting to get people all riled up with silly questions. But you guys that have answered thousands of questions must not have a life.

Answer 1

What does this question have to do with Marriage & Divorce? It should be in the Yahoo! Answers category.

When work is slow or in between doing other things, I often pop in here. It has nothing to do with not having a life, but in how I choose to spend 'free' time or 'down time' at work.

I fail to see where anyone on this site can judge anyone else on this site re: what kind of "life" they have...if you don't know that person, you've no way to know about their life.

Perhaps it's really you that has none or not a pleasant one, and thus like many people who criticize others, you do it to help you feel better about your own behavior or self. Instead of negatively judging, why not just relax here and have fun.

I have so much "life" sometimes I need more than 24 hrs to squeeze it all in! ☺

Answer 2

I use it when i cant sleep, something about staring at a computer screen makes me tired. I'm a stay at home mom with 2 kids who are in school, so when theres nothing else to do all day, I get on this site. I use it much more since the winter season has been here, but will more than likely decrease my usage of it as the weather warms up. I'd much rather prefer to be outside.

Answer 3

Some of us have extra time at work and need to "look" busy. This does the trick just fine and may even help someone.
As far as the silly questions go, some of us try to ask only questions that really need serious answers. They may seem silly to you but to others, they are important. Don't be so judgmental. There's enough of that on this forum.

Answer 4

I retired early in life and found myself helping my kids through many of life's trouble's that I faced and found answers for. It's kind of rewarding to help someone using your own successes. I would be a counselor if I didn't think I was too old to go back to school. As far as having a life, I consider my life as great. I don't worry about money, I had a wonderful wife for many years, I go where I want, Do what I want, and don't answer to anyone. How is your life comapred to that??

Answer 5

Absolutely! It's very addicting. I have often had to tear myself away just to get the chores that need doing done.

It's worse than television!!

But like finn says - it's nice to be able to share your experiences, your opinion, and hope that someone else benefits from it all.

Answer 6

nope we help and make other peoples life better because we give and to question some time they are to shy to say or just want to hear what others have to say thats all some of us have gone through what some people say here and if we can help out the more the better have a good time welcome to the club

Answer 7

well I haven't answered thousands but gosh it only takes a second to answer, I'm a fast typer....you have no life either apparently to be asking and answering questions yourself...

Answer 8

I trust each and every little thing you mentioned, maximum are basically too lazy to do the foot paintings themselves, relatively the homework questions. i think of we are doing a disservice to the babies via doing their homework, quite of offering them the your best option procedures to do it themselves.i like to assist others and share my understanding, yet theirs a very good line between helping those young ones and hindering them.many of the adults are basically straightforward too lazy to goggle for themselves.

Answer 9

well, we do have a life, but you have to admit - it's fun attacking some subjects, like therapy with a twist.

Answer 10

it is what I do to relax....when I wake up and am having my coffee and if I have a few minutes here and there......it can get addictive...
