In what way are you a professional problem solver such that it applies to random problems in peoples' lives?

The thing that drives me nuts is when people start throwing out immediate ideas, sometimes before I've even given a full account of the problem. But even if they do wait, I don't feel like explaining why all your immediate ideas don't work - most of the time, I've also already thought of those things. Try asking questions instead.

There's value to anyone willing to listen to you talking about your problem. Otherwise rubber duck debugging wouldn't work.

Why don't you ask some questions about their obviously wrong solutions instead od spoiling the fun they have guessing? After all to are the one with a problem.

"After all to are the one with a problem."

Please edit this so it says whatever you meant.

Sorry, fat fingers on a touchscreen ... What I meant to write was "After all you are the one with a problem." Apologies for being uncharitable. I was in a rough mood when I wrote that.
