Do you ever feel as if some people have a hidden agenda when they ask questions?

Question

Or a secret reason for why they are asking a question as if they are fishing for something? Or is it just me? Lol.

Particularly the questions where the person who asked the question thanks somebidy for giving them the idea to ask the question.

Answer 1

Some people do, but I think the majority just ask a question to ask it. I think a lot of times we try to read more into a question than what's there. *shrugs shoulders*

Answer 2

Once in awhile I get this feeling that some people's questions do have an ulterior motive lurking in the shadow and try my best to answer without getting caught up with the consequences if there any as such.Most of the time these people are looking to see of can get a leg up on the others and with a brief head start to stay in front . I also wonder if some people are like testers to see if they can gget sonebody to trip up and fall . In this way Yahoo is able to kep an eye on us like big brother.

Answer 3

The term 'leap to conclusions' includes suggestions right here the place some think of we reported what we did no longer say, and a few accuse us of issues we did no longer intend. can no longer restoration it. To have fun, could desire to anticipate it, pass on. even with the incontrovertible fact that it does decrease the exciting of all of it, would not it. first element I do is 'weed the backyard', ie. pull off those that could desire to no longer be there, with TD or record. I warn others approximately this because of the fact this Q is for people who answer this specific Q, no longer listening to how stupid it relatively is etc. looking forward to this could properly be a good training. on no account a thoroughly 'good time', even with the incontrovertible fact that it relatively is extra perfect that way.

Answer 4

I didn't have that feeling when I answered a bunch of questions once for the same person. Later, I found out I was totally blind to the reason and felt like a total idiot until everything got straightened out. Now, some questions I approach with caution. : )

Answer 5

Of course I do. Because some of them are. A leading question can be a legitimate aid in the formulation of the
answer. But this can be either good or bad, depending on
what it is that you are being led to. I like this kind of question
because I like to Not go where I am led.

Answer 6

I would think that sometimes people ask questions for a certain purpose.
Do you have a hidden agenda? lol

Answer 7

On yahoo answers .... I've found a few to be leading & they cause concern.

In my personal life ... I know quite a few people who ask questions with hidden agendas. Do my best avoid them ; ) they're a lil too nosy for me.

Answer 8

Oh my no whatever do you mean that would mean there are cliques on P&S and I know that's not true. It must just be you.
("somebidy"? Is that a typo?) }:>

Answer 9

I'm sure some of them do.

Edit - What? What does that mean? There was nothing in that. That was my source of inspiration. If you read his blog, you'll understand. Seems to me like you're the one who has a hidden agenda or, maybe, I guess, yes, it's just you.

Answer 10

You are right on about that.I have noticed some very personal questions being asked about where you were born, do you own a home, how old are you, on and on,and I sense it too.The one thing you never do is give out your ss#lol. or bank info, or google your house and post it on here.lol
