The most frustrating answer I have received is when you ask a serious question and the person answers with "I don't know". I once asked something about Larry King and someone wrote "I have never watched him so I don't know". Why in the world they bother to respond is beyond me.

I'm not that blind :) I asked something about Patrick Swazye yesterday and someone wrote "I don't know who he is"!!!!

I've had a few "who cares", but the one that sticks out is "I don't know, you tell me".
