My Friend, Nobody Owes You Anything!

Posted on 04 December 2011 by Andrei

So a short while ago, someone contacts me via email and asks for some development advice. It happens every once in a while, no problem at all. Glad to help. But the person I’m referring to now, when contacting me, basically acted as if I owed him something and that’s just plain wrong.

When sending the initial email, be polite and not demanding. Words like “please” exist for a reason. So back to the guy I’m talking about, his email was anything but polite.

I thought that maybe it’s just a language barrier thing and gave him some pointers.

He didn’t thank me through his reply and, instead, emailed me some follow up questions.

Less than 24 hours passed without me replying, he sends me an email asking if I’m going to answer his follow up questions and the email ends with three question marks (???).

WTF?

What would you guys do in this case?

    At this point I would be concerned cause he seems to have some major issues and might need medical help.
