Are we really on a coffee break?
Hey, everyone -
As you may know from the occasional “we’re taking a breather/coffee break” messages, we have been experiencing some glitches recently on Yahoo! Answers. We’re working on the problem now and hope to have it fixed soon.
We know how frustrating this can be and we apologize for the inconvenience. We appreciate your patience while we continue to make improvements to Answers.

I’m just waiting for the day that I sign on and absolutely nothing happens. No 360, no Answers, nothing.
“Occasional?” What a joke! More like I’m recieving that message for every two out of three questions I try to answer!
Be sure to post when the problem is fixed….hardly worth trying to post answers anymore!

Good to know, I thought my computer was acting funky and the problem was on my end. Too bad some questions missed my fantabulous answers because they wouldn’t post while you guys were on a coffee break. LOL
ok, at least they told us something. thank you, and please get the problem fixed as SOON AS POSSIBLE. and when you guys are really on a coffee break, only drink Starbucks, or locally grown coffee
Phew! That sure if a relife…that “coffee break” page was really starting to bug me.
I was always thinking “how many coffee breaks does Y!A need!!”
Thanks, YA.
sometimes its really hard because we’re in the middle of answering a really good question and we cant answer it because of the coffee breaks.For example other Y!Answerers are annoyed too:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlSFtvmLqnCc2R9Lp5dSwlvty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080728132740AAKgtKC&show=7#profile-info-o1EPTQfsaa
i can never seem to go on Y!A without some sort of problem! it is so frustrating and please get it fixed!
occasional ???
This is not occasional. This is hourly, if not more often.
However, while you’re at it, how about updating the leader boards? I know some have not been updated for WEEKS and I’m pretty sure most Y!A users would rather see that done than more useless, inaccurate (and annoying) spell check balloons!
I just got a couple of them. I think Yahoo Answers should provide free coffee for all of us
I can’t access anything on yahoo answers!! I can’t search for questions or answer anyones questions or ask any questions and I need this web site soooo badly!!!!! GGRRRR!!!!
It’d be nice if you guys could include times when it is repaired.
I’m afraid to come on when you say I might experience odd behavior. I am odd enough as it is!
Occassional? Ha! Almost every click of the damn mouse leads me to a “Coffee Break”.
Come up with a new way to make light of your problems.
How about: “We’ve got a problem. We don’t want it. So we’ll make it yours. We’ll be back when we feel like taking care of it.”
This is EXTREMELY ANOYING i started yesturday afternoon with a question and still today they are on a coffee break, slowest fixing of glitches i’ve ever seen :@
PS Seriously, it’s a great site. Thanks.
If you mean by “improvements” those ghastly pop-ups which try to correct my already correct spelling and punctuation, you can get rid of them.
At least you are getting a coffee break..mine always says taking a breather…after 10-15 minutes …dude break is over.
I haven’t been on Answers in a week or so, I guess I’m glad I haven’t because it sounds like I would be VERY frustrated too.
KEEP TRYING TO FIX IT, so everyone will be HAPPY again!
due to these fixes – most likely – i’m having problems with my Ymail, it goes to the tmp problem page on either every click or just about every other click…
It seems that they always take a coffee break whenever I’m on Yahoo! Answers. Frustrating.
I have spent ages getting a comprehensive answer together and then I get this ‘ we are taking a break’ rubbish when i try to submit it!!!!
What a waste of my time!!!
Get it sorted.
i cant post ANY questions! this is rediculus!
I have noticed that the arithmetic “plus” signs do not appear on my computer at work, however they do appear on my computer at home. It sounds not only like a software problem, but also a recognition problem.
I have also seen backdoors and security holes that can easily be accessed by the novice hacker. Just judging from what I have seen, it wouldn’t be that difficult to have access to someone else’s account. I hope that YA is aware of these, because it needs to be fixed.

Thank you for the info.
OK, this is definitely NOT just happening occasionally. Come on, Yahoo. You’re losing people as we go looking for something else to do that works reliably.
funny thing i kinda like it when the computer says that it just makes me think the computer is a little human or some one running the thing is human
These Coffee breaks are the most annoying thing in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please email everyone when the prolem is fixed. Why do you even have coffee breaks?
That’s a huge glitch to be called one- how about this folks, coming from a 15 year + computer programmer:
Dear Yahoo Users,
We are aware of the ongoing server connects and incorrect log usage- we are currently working on new software and an algorithm change to ensure the reliability of our bandwidth and advertiser output.
We are working in tandem to get this resolved promptly and encourage a continuation at no hassle or frustration- so please be patient with us, we are doing as much as we can and when. Our limited employee benefits do not enable us to ensure immediate action.
We apologize for the inconvenience- do not hesitate to reply as much as possible on this blog- we know we receive spam bots, so excuse and ignore those in the time being.
Kind regards-
Yahoo Answers Representative 000-001-0000
As long as you are not censoring appropriate free-speech and devising ways to do that its only an annoyance.
It’d really be great if you guys could take some time to post a legitimate and honest reason for all of the extended trouble. The humor behind the coffee thing is kinda dry for me.
With all these breathers, I lost all my contacts, can’t answer qustions, so what’s next. Everytime you try and fix something that isn’t broken you now have screwed up the whole site. Maybe you all need a vacation. I wonder if this will post.
umm… this has been going on for almost two weeks now.
I have said this before, and no doubt will say it again..
Fix what you have BEFORE you try to introduce anything new. It seems your ‘new’ content never plays well with the existing content.
Really, how much patience do you think people have? Other sites are calling…
I’ve been reading some past responses to this, and the general yahoo answers public needs to show some respect.
This is a free site. We don’t pay for this service, we use this service as a means of recreation, socialization and information. If there are problems, there are problems, just like with any other site that has to deal with millions of people logging onto their servers every day.
I’m appreciative that yahoo answers is available everyday without me having to shell out a monthly fee.
And you all should be too. If you run into some technical problems every once in a while, take in stride, go make yourself a sandwich, and calm the hell down.
WOW, if people get this excited about things going wrong with YA’s I wonder what happens when important things in their lives go wrong.
This is supposed to be a fun, relaxed way of asking and answering questions. I understand that things happen with servers and computers, sometimes it’s a bit hard to get all of the parts to “talk” with each other.
I for one have never had a computer work 100% of the time.
Yahoo, keep working on the problem, it will get fixed when it gets fixed.
Chill everyone, this is for fun.
Give the Yahoo Answers people a break; they admit to the problem and are trying to fix it. You’re not paying a cent for this great service. Enough of the bellyaching already.
I think it is funny that when Y!A fails one time, people freak out and start crying about it.
Complain about something that isn’t free, and time is money.
it is nearly impossible to get all the bugs out of anything before it is marketed or put out for general useage, that is how the bugs are found…there is nothing so important and needing to be hurried that a break and a nice piece of pie and a glass of milk can harm before getting back to work.
And here I thought it was me left clicking the $#!+ out of the “refresh” button, trying to get any Y/A page to work properly.
refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh…You just know everyone else is doing the same exact thing. LOL!
this is a free site and its a cool site…so maybe people should chill a bit with the complaints.
Well, the least that you could do is tell us what was wrong and at least try to prevent these things in the future. By the way, the new spellcheck feature sucks, most of the time it tells me that my words are spelled wrong and I should change it to its suggestion, but the suggestion provided is not proper grammar or is spelled wrong!
I think it is ironic, your “coffee breaks ” happen at the same time there are differing views on political agendas. Never has this occured on mechanical problems, but when differing views occur on liberal views, you stop me in my tracks. You just prove the liberal bias !
I know computer problems can be hard to control. Getting different parts to talk to each other can be a pain.
We all need to remember that this is a free site, even if it wasn’t, glitches like this would still happen.
I haven’t had a computer yet that works 100% of the time.
Relax everyone, this is for fun. A place where we can kill a few minutes, asking and answering some questions. Technology will never work all of the time. Yahoo will get if fixed.
Yay! It’s being fixed!
i thought it was just me! thank goodness this is being fixed, was driving me bonkers!
That must be some really, really GOOD coffee! =^_^=
why would the percent sign cause this to appear with no warning that was what caused it !
very bad Yahoo!
good job there is Google for the important things!
So, when we answer a question, and we get the crappy coffee break thing, which keeps us from answering questions and maybe getting higher rankings, there is nothing that you can/will do about that hen?
It is VERY disenfranchising to keep getting these crappy coffee breaks.
Or, getting caught in the loops of the two top questions.
the first yahoo page seems to be in order of time but going to the page two it almost always starts with a time such as “3minutes ago” so there is always a time gap of about two minutes between the last question on page one and the first question on page two. Sometimes I want to find a recently posted question and it has disappeared into the 1 to 3 minute vanishing area….
i think it is odd but (i am happy for it though) that i havent gotten a single one of these breather messages…is it just a few member or is it like most everybody…
I just want you to know, people are asking questions and getting saddled with bad, misleading, or downright incorrect answers because I can’t answer their questions.
If any of them die as a result of taking bad advice that I could have corrected, the blood will be (partially) on your hands.
When I hit “submit” after answering a Q and get the “taking a breather” page, I go back a couple pages to the Q and refresh and find that more often than not, my answer has posted.
Everbody calm down and look around a bit. The sky is not falling.
I have read the above comments with great interest, and they have certainly altered my perspective. The majority of complaints seem to assume that the complainer has a God given right to perfect service.
How can one expect, that on a free site that is an information highway, where you can ask anything you wish, however stupid, that there won’t be glitches along the way, especially when you consider how many millions are logged on at the same time.
WHY do you have to make it redirect in such a way that when I open 10+ questions in tabs, and 3 of them end up with the “coffee break” error, that I can’t just refresh the tab? I have to find the question again in the list, and then it works.
You should fix the page. It’s not that hard, is it?
Oh, and make it say something a bit less cheesy. “Coffee break”? Unless, of course, you mean that you SPILLED COFFEE ALL OVER YOUR SERVERS and caused the problem.
Seriously, make it say something a bit less cheesy. “Coffee break”? Unless, of course, you mean that you SPILLED COFFEE ALL OVER YOUR SERVERS and caused the problem.
mine stopped at around 4 and now none of my posts will go up. yet, the posting boards are still active. why is this?
when is it going to work again ?!?
Got another one..yay
It’s a good thing most questions give you 3 days to submit an answer.
I’ve been writing up answers to the questions, then when I’m on the “Preview your answer” page and I click “Submit” I get the page saying Y!A has gone to coffee. So I just go to another question and write up another answer. When I get to the coffee page again, I just go on to yet another question.
Then every so often I click the back button until I get to the last question I answered and I hit “Submit” again. If I get the coffee page, I dont worry about it. If the answer goes through, though, I hit the back button again until I get to the answer I wrote just before that one, and I submit it.
Today I kept trying every so often all day, and I was able to post a total of seven answers that I wrote yesterday. That seems like a pretty lame number to me.
Hope this gets fixed soon.
wow. this is highly annoying. how am i suppose to get points if i can’t answer questions. i understand you are working on it but is there a timeline when it will be fixed. at least an estimate?? i mean i do feel bad for all the hate people are giving you but really…..if you don’t get funded or something to fix this problem you will lose people and therefore lose even more money. so PLEASE fix asap, for your sake and ours
Occasional? Ha!
I hope they will fix it soon. Some of the questions I am trying to answer are not quite that bad to not be answered, but when someone is talking about a friend thinking about suicide I want to help that person keep that friend alive. It is also really annoying when I am trying to tell someone how to fix their relationship, when the other answers are not helpful.
Your useless “updates” that you guys did a week ago completely messed this site up. Stop trying to fix something that isn’t broken. Y!A used to be a great site back in 2006-2007 when you didn’t get any error messages, now it just sucks.
Oh the coffee breaks bother me too – there was someone I really really wanted to answer & it took me until this MORNING to respond to her – and then I wanted to edit it -my bad – the button didn’t work.
I am tired of not being able to ask a question! how much longer?
I think Yahoo Amswers is great. I love helping people. Sometimes, I even get helped. I liked the old Spell check better, but I am aware that not many people used it. I still love ya’ll!
That was at 9:55 am…it is now 9:19 pm still no fix here….
coffee breaks are aggravating. I got the message when I had a good answer going for someone, and I couldn’t submit, what a pain. There’s nothing more upsetting than things you can’t control.
yeah mine was doing it all day yesterday!!! i am going through withdraws people. i still can’t ask a question and it’s killing me!!!
still not working =( it’s been about 30 mins already
I hope the Leader Board on Royalty will be updated soon.I know I have earned much more than the 596 Best Answers listed there!And right now,there is something going on in that thread;questions are missing,the Leader Board is all wrong–who are those people listed,they’re not the usual crew!
hey want you namea
? though frequently Yamster does appear taking breathers, perhaps this is best for all, running around chasing trolls, skimming through lengths of endless scrolls, it’s a wonder we all don’t fall short of our goals,
? all seems well now, back to those quests, where the spell checker dwells in this ink well of answers, keep all feathers tethered for the pen of these lancers, ?
its been doing it everytime i try to ask my question but it lets me answer peoples questions with no problem
COME ON…I want to answer a question. OhmyGOD
I just want to know why other questions have been getting posted for hours, yet mine cannot get through. Thus, I encounter the coffee break message. I’ve opened new browsers, etc.
Too much coffee isn’t good for you lol
The spam bots are somehow getting through it…
ive had really good questions ive answered and now theyarent showing up. HURRY!!!!
HOW come the answer board is still open but it wont let me answer the questions?? i dont get it
Can you guys just be honest and say “Hey, the system isn’t working right now?” in your error messages rather than pretending you totally intended for the site to be screwed up?
it happens CONSTANTLY to me!! like more than other people, i know this cuz my friend and i like to go on here and answer questions at the same time, and it ALWAYS happens to me, but not her!
not fair.
Occasional???? It’s been over FORTY EIGHT hours.. and you give that message after one is ready to submit an answer that took about an hour to answer.
Could you make a REGULAR error message, please? I mean, come on!!! Coffee breaks??? BREATHERS??? Seriously!!! Computers don’t drink or have lungs!!!!!
Please fix this ASAP!!!! I want to answer questions!!!!!!!!!!!
I am very upset by how long this is taking, my boyfriend is able to answer questions on his computer, how come I can’t answer on mine?
PLEASE FIZ IT BY TOMMORO
Omg, hurry up please! That ticked me off so much today. Rawr.
yea um 1 thing when you reach your limit of answering 20 questions a day it says your taking a breather or “coffee break” when it should say you have reached you 20 per day limit fix it fast because its confusing a lot of people
thanks,
Michael
Fritz
COFFEE BREAK?!?!? I’VE BEEN WAITING! AND YOU TAKE A “COFFEE BREAK”?!?!?!?!? THIS IS VERY CHILDISH AND SILLY!!
i cant stand this…every single time i try to answer something is says your taking a breather…if i hear somebody on tha street say that im gona scream..lol…but ya i wish this fixing wouldnt take so long…plz fix asap…
btw they are not occasional.
HURRY UP
Hurry UP its been 3 days!!!!
“We know how frustrating this can be and we apologize for the inconvenience. We appreciate your patience while we continue to make improvements to Answers.”
Sure. No problem. Pffft! But some of Us know that you get free coffee and get Us off your backs while you are down. Hehehe.
We know how frustrating We can be and we apologize for our sometimes rude behavior. We do appreciate your efforts as you continue to make improvements to Yahoo! Answers.
Wow, seriously, this is pissing me off, and I’m about done with being patient.
I literally spent 45 minutes typing out an answer, only to find out that the damn Y!A staff was taking a breather. THAT, is what I like to call frustrating.
yeah right, here are some things you should look into
leaderboards not updated
points per week not reset
questions not posting
etc
If it really were only “occasional,” then it wouldn’t be so bad, but it’s with practically every single answer I make! I spend a lot of time on my answers, and for what? I can’t even post them! It’s extremely frustrating.
just tell them that there’s a gorlitchi in the system
Muhahahaha!
Stop being complete jerks and let Yahoo! handle it! The more you flame, the less work they get done!! >=(
It’s pathetic how belligerent and rude people get when a LUXURY service that is provided to them FREE OF CHARGE goes down OCCASIONALLY so that those who maintain it can try and IMPROVE it and make it more secure against cascade failure.
Everyone get off you rented high horses, turn off the computer when Yahoo! is on their coffee break and take one yourselves. You might find that those around you have questions that need answering more urgently than some 20 something in Texas who wants to know what color she should dye her hair.
I just don’t understand what’s going on…why would some people be able to answer the exact same question that gives me the “coffee break” message? Why does it only show up for some people?
How do you stand the rude answers and the infantile demands. I guess it is kids of all ages. living in a world where they see waiting as an infringment of their civiil rights…what monsters we created.
I apologize on their behalf. it does get frustrating but there is no need to be abusive.
All right, who’s the wise guy who made this thing? When you go to a coffee break, why don’t you disable the “answer this question” altogether when you are taking a **** coffee break? I click on the answer this question button, waste 10 precious minutes on answering the question, hit the preview button, edit the answer a couple of times (and waste 5 additional minutes), then finally hit the submit button. What do I get? “Oops we are **** taking a cofee break”. I feel like hurting you people really bad.
I, personally, think its bred by a society full of video games and television shows and computers that entertain us and basically endeavor to do our thinking for us.
I see kids in line at the grocery store playing hand held video games and people at the park on cell phones and computers. It seems that we’ve been so conditioned by these things that we’re afraid of what will come to the surface if we stop everything else and let ourselves think for a minute…wait, I remember this story…Ray Bradbury told it. Strange that kids aren’t required to read Fahrenheit 451 anymore isn’t it?
the spellcheck is annoying like a teacher at your back ppl get the get it . they know when a misspelling is ppl are tired or what not put a stop to it,
Wow. Are people really getting this crazy over a frozen site? God help us all if Mommy doesn’t hand over their cookies when they want them!
i just want to say that i liked the old format better, however since we do have a new format, i have issue with the spell check, it never shows up when you really need it. why can’t it be stationary like it was before? so much more useful. also today we seem to be having serious problems with our contacts missing, then returning, i’m missing more than half of them so i’ve been e-mailing all day. now we been having trouble connecting with the IM. we can’t get a hold of any of our contacts, friends or loved ones unless we e-mail, and some e-mails aren’t even going through. i’ve been on this sight for quite sometime, and i know that updates must be made, even if for routine maintainence, however this is getting redundant! also we all like the 360, and have forever been having trouble with that as well, blogs not posted, i have 36 outstanding invites to people to join my 360, i can’t even make a 360 on one of my accts! verry verry frustrating, now i hear thru the grapefine, that 360 is gone, so we are we all going, it would be nice if there were an annoucement and a choice listed on the home page for information, as well as information on any and all changes to be made!
thank you very much.
sincerely,
lena?
I understand about the problems this site is having…but I must admitt I’ve been frustrated about it.
I’m not trying to sound too mad and I’m also not trying to offend you guys….but maybe you need to change the way you code your website or something. O_o
I haven’t been able to answer a question for over 12 hours…which sorta..well stinks.
It’s a bit annoying getting these “We’re taking a breather” for over 12 hours…
Well, hope you get it fixed soon! <3
Tell people they have a daily limit. Or hourly limit- whichever? No-one knows because you were disinclined to tell them.
Listen to people when they complain. They aren’t plebs to be treated as you please. You want popularity and a fan-base well those come at a price- you need to offer something in return… It’s just good business policies.
If you repeatedly fail to listen to people, fix big issues, then expect people to leave and flock to a hypothetical
Answers.Google.
And first poster, stop villifying the human race with the “blame the victim” routine. It’s old news.
I meant that last comment for the poster directly beneath me. Mr “Infantile Demands”
not to worry unlike all the people kicking off and swearing at you i have a life outside of yahoo answers and can just go on one of my other forum sites or even go do something else altogether
Thanks for letting us help each other for FREE.
Some ppl just do not k now how to be nice.
I really admire all the work you do to keep this site up an running for FREE.
Some ppl should really be more conciderate..
The old spell checker seemed to be more user freindly.
I Wish that I could help you get this site back up an running.
Thank you for all the hard work you are doing.
WoW, some pretty harsh words by some of these people on here.
I just wanted to say to them…You might try getting a life, and not depending on answering questions all day as a past time. Sure it is fun, however we all know how things can go wrong with computer softwear. Take a chill pillllllll
Any clue on when this “coffee break” will be over? I’ve had a tab open with the answer to a question for 18 hours.
Yes, computer and computer glitches go hand in
hand. But computer genius’ should havdle these
problems toute suite. You are a fantastic company
even though you give me violations ( LOL)
I get angry.. at glitches as they appear at the time
I want to post my answers.
However, You are still a great service and up there
after WIkipedia in popularity.
Keep up the good work and your ( glitches ) down.
Thanks. .
There seems to be a lot of :”coffee breaks” lately.
Glitches are part of life. Computers and Glitches go
hand in hand.
I seem to have coffee break glitches before postings.
I think you should hire some more computer geeks
who will straighten out these glitches .and foresee problems before ( GLITCHES)
Thanks.
we just hope this gets fixed soon. yes, it is inconvenient but i know you’re doing your best.
Eric, but why?
It is highly annoying but hey, its a public server with millions of people using Yahoo for emails, answers, news and so on. Its only a small glitch anyway and only happens in one inevery ten posts. Anyone shouting abuse is only a childish and ignorant person.
Then again, if Yahoo accepted the $47.5 billion from Microsoft maybe they might be able to afford some new top-of-the-line servers…
I’d just like to remind anyone who is mad about this, that this is a free service.
I find the apologies and praises to Yahoo at the beginning of this thread to be a bit much.
that happened ALL week last week i couldn’t answers or ask any questions.
Posting on this blog goes a long way toward mending the icy state of customer relations. We appreciate it Yahoo.
Ladies and Gentlemen of Yahoo! Answers staff:
Yes, the coffee breaks are frustrating, but I do appreciate that a site with a user base the size of Answers is an enormous and ongoing technical challenge and you do your best to meet that challenge. What I am very unhappy about is the testimonies I keep seeing from users who have had their accounts “suspended” (ie, banned) for one abuse and not even an offensive one. Technical excellence on this site is an ongoing goal, yes … but what I desperately want to see is a proper, serious framework of appeals and case reviews for banned users. Gentlemen, we live in a society whose very heart is natural justice, and I want to see a real commitment to fairness and natural justice on Answers.
Yours most sincerely,
David (known here as Cosimo)
It’s terrible! It lasts all day long! I can’t do anything!
Don’t y’all use software testers BEFORE you release a fix?
Would you be interested in one . . . . .?
Hey the coffee breaks are fine with me, it’s the only time during the day that I get my own work done! This site is addicting. Very addicting!
Yes, kids are monsters now. It’s a “me” society out there, they think that we all revolve around them and that’s the bottom line.
I don’t know why people make demands on here, that’s just dumb. Grow up, it’s a world-wide company that’s trying to let us know what’s going on inside the company. I would take that over crickets chirping any day.
Take care,
Chad
I have been trying to post an answer to one particular question for 14 hours. I have refreshed, I have called it up in a new screen, I have re-entered–no luck whatsoever. What do I do?
While you are updating would you put in a word recognition program that recognizes the age of a questioner and boots them out. You have a serious problem with kids between 11 and 12.5.
I’ve met alot of kids that age that have real and considered questions,but the kids that try to use this site seem to be the kind that aren’t mature enough to be on it. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do for those who meet the guidlines that urgent questions about who is prettier.
Still can’t answer using Netscape – the
preview” and “submit” buttons disappear when moused over! Please do your best to fix this problem and it’s quite annoying!!
I’ve finally become used to those annoying bubbles, but I have to finagle with my tab button in order to preview or submit my answers using Netscape. Please, as you fix your “bugs”, squash this one!!! Thanks very much.
Yeah, you all really got to work on that.
And please don’t allow children below 13 to be on Yahoo! Answers. People here ask all sorts of questions that are not suitable for children. I hope you would do the best.
Occasional? Constant. Stop editing-the site is fine the way it is. Stop making it a work in progress. I am very close to the next level so KNOCK. IT. OFF
Thank you
<3 please hurry!!
why cant i answer questions? but i can ask them
…this Coffee Break thing:
-does it have anything to do with us using certain symbols, like the ‘%’ sign?
-does it have anything to do with lengthy answers?
…another area of inquiry:
there seems to be a fair number (=one is too many, IMHO) of drug questions, like “What’s your favorite thing to do while high?” since WE are members of Yahoo Community, what does Yahoo do to filter out what might be considered completely unnecessary, inane and even drug-use-glorifying chat, to protect US and our children from druggies and their inane banter?
…finally, “Violations:” I’ve received a few, NONE of which are explicit enough to explain WHY I got a VN…once was for asking a question, and answering it, as part of an answer. Another VN was because I answered a druggie question in a sarcastic manner, BUT: why do you allow that type of question in the first place? Essentially: is me mocking a druggie’s stupid question worse than the stupid question? I’d LOVE to see your answer…and did you Violate the asker?
From my viewpoint, there should be ZERO tolerance for drug talk in YA; I should be rewarded for making that druggie look as stupid as they are, not punished; what ARE your priorities?
Can you please fix the hockey section as soon as possible as it is getting out of hand. Random questions that do not belong in the hockey section are ending up in there. The new system is flawed and stupid people are asking stupid questions and the first spot that they go is the hockey section. Is it that hard to pick the right section? Apparently it is very hard.
please add more meaning to levels.
I don’t have the enthusiasm to answer questions to go to the next level, because level 5 has nothing more compared with level 4
add stars of different colurs or writing level clear under each
You need to disable the “suggested” category feature until you get it fixed, which may be a year or two from now. Getting tired of seeing cell phone and Polls and Surveys questions in the Hockey section.
Why don’t you people LISTEN TO THOSE WHO USE YOUR WEBISTE AND NOTICE THE FLAWS YOU SEEM TO BE BLIND TO?
It’s been driving me crazy for the past two years. You guys add all these new features, yet can’t even attempt to tackle the real problems? Look at all these people talking about trolling, inappropriate violations, inappropriate questions.
As for the “coffee break” message…can you not simply say that something is glitched? I know for a fact people don’t discontinue the use of websites for a coffee break.
I am unconvinced that the “new” messages are an improvement. Longer or technical words are tagged as misspelled; and hmm–I use a lot of punctuation! As an older user, I find punctuation and vocabulary comforting. For the Text Generation, they’re probably optional.
Look: thanks for a free website; I guess the pop-up ads, etc., pay the freight for the free stuff. Yippee.
BUT:
This coffee break fiasco: ONE of the many problems is that quite often, after making a detailed response to a question, based on my many areas of expertise, I will click “Submit” only to find that I get the “Oops” message, but it means more than that: the answer gets lost in cyberspace, all that time and energy WASTED! Dammitall, it’s very frustrating. But since you’ve provided this particular means of feedback to you, I think I’ll just return here as often as I can, just to remind you that I’m not dead!
love the site but the coffee breaks have to go. i get really frustrtaed when i try to post an answer and it is stopped right in the middle.
Plain Jane.
Try hitting the back button at the top of your screen, and wait for that page to come back. The information you typed should still be there. If so, use your mouse to select all the text, right click and choose Copy. Or do as mentioned above before you hit Submit, so you can re-paste when you try again. The information should be restored as you wrote it.
Everyone says this is a free service website, but you forget that I’m paying $19.99/month for AT&T Yahoo DSL Internet service and it is wasted money if I can’t get through to my email and the other services I use.
This reminds me of all the different Star Trek programs shown through the years where the most technologically advanced space stations and star ships are brought to almost distruction by stupid computers that fail while the enemy’s computers never seem to have problems. I’m sure glad my life doesn’t depend upon Yahoo. I could be dead by now.
re: SpellCheck
Why doesn’t it recognize Proper Names, foreign terms commonly used in English, etc? For example, when I type Jimi Hendrix, it tells me that Jimi is wrong (has a red underline ‘neath it). What good is THAT?
this is absolutely ridiculous it’s happened to me 7 times within the past two days and this time it’s been over an hour… i’m sorry… i think that something should be offered like a level up for everyone
how long does this stupid coffee break last? it is gettin quite annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I find interesting about these “Coffee Breaks” is that while I am getting them continually regardless of what questions I attempt to answer, other people are able to answer without a problem. I’ve even seen how the person who posted the question, can edit the question in the middle of my repeatedly attempting to submit an answer and getting only the Coffee Break in response.
Why is this Coffee Break not universal? Why does it not go away, when someone spends more than 15 minutes hitting submit, back, edit, preview and submit… over and over again?
I think you guys on yahoo work very hard, and a little coffee break popping up on my screen is not too bad. I think we just have a lot of other hostile users here.
thanks for your hard work YAHoO Answers team!
How about letting people know somehow about the problem with the percent sign? That solved a lot of my frustration once someone told me that was causing the coffee break problems – since then I’ve taken it out of my answers and it’s worked fine.
Here’s what I found, BonGart: if the answer is long, you are more likely to get the “coffee break” response. After trying to post a long answer several times, I broke it into two sections. I posted the first half, no problem. Then I edited and posted the second half, no problem.
A real pain in the backside and wouldn’t normally bother, except that an Asker specifically wanted my input.
Whenever I see that comment I have a vision of a bunch of bald guys in front of a computer with a steaming cup of coffee in their hands reading the days news. But, I appreciate what you guys do, and I’m glad you keep Yahoo! Answers working and keeping it up to date.
Although I must say sometimes it’s annoying when I’m trying to post a question and the bald guys have cups of coffee with their newspapers in hand, so I have no clue if it posted or not. (The first time that happened I try posting it again and again, I ended up loosing 25 points that day, but I learned my lesson, “If they are having coffee, get up from your computer and go get some coffee for yourself.”)
Thank You again Yahoo! Answers
I Appreciate your hard work to keep me happy.
PS: The new stuff Yahoo! Answers is pretty awesome Thank You.
And I did see comments about younger people on the sight, I do agree with them, I think you should make it so only 15 and up can get on the site. I say this because the 12 and under are getting exposed to some things they shouldn’t be exposed to, which also brings me to the perverts saying “What is the ideal size for your man’s D***” which is a question i see a lot on here. Or something stupid like “Do you think I’m cute (pics included)” and you click in and it’s a girl showing half her chest area.
Okay off my soap-box *Sheepishly Smiles*
Keep up the good work Yahoo! Answers Team (and maybe in my next vision of your coffee break I’ll add a few girls and give the men wigs)
No please, fix it! I love yahoo and I’m bored.
We already figured it out that you’re working on your laptops at Starbucks.
This is seriously lame. How long can this take to fix? I’ve worked in software development for years and haven’t seen this persistent of an error except in only the most poorly designed software. Very disappointing.
i dont like it not one single bit. its been already 2 hours and im stuck in the house with only this to do. you put an exception on something we all like
I’ve been trying since yesterday to post a question. I have tried no less than 5 times at various times, and I ALWAYS get the “we’re taking a breather” type of message, and yet I see hundreds of new questions being asked in the mean time.
What is going on?!?!
aaaah!! im sorry but im tired of all this..i cant post one answer..and everybody else is..?? wats up with tht??..how long will it take to do this and u guys are always taking breathers
I don’t mean to be a grouch but, I can’t answer any questions for like 6 hours now. I can ask a question and other people can answer. The only problem is that I can’t answer anyones questions. Besides that I love this site, thank you Yahoo.
sorry to leave another comment..but its been 3 and a half hours…i dont think it takes long to drink a cup of coffee…??? please come back!! lol u guys provide a great website n im addicted!! i need this website..i still cant answer any
Ahhhh. I remember the good ole days when I could post answers…..
I must admit that some categories did improve without anyone answering their questions. Hehehe.
come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back come back PLEASE!!
i say we all
I know…
I like to joke about you guys saying
“you’re on a coffee break”
Eveytime someone asks a question about it
I always add “at least they should invite us!!”
It’s OK. Everybody needs a hobby. Er…Aren’t you supposed to be camping? Made it back, huh?
ive been waiting 7 and
a half hours..wats going on?
i have now been barred twice in the last few weeks from entering rooms – what the hell is going on here- i have been playing bridge etc for 10 yrs or more and all of a sudden some spiteful person or persons unknown must just be reporting anyone willynilly for a laugh – how can i stop this victimisation for doing absolutely nothing
OHMYGOD HURRY THE FREAKING HELL UP. THANK YOU.
Please fix this as soon as possible because it getting really frustrating not being able to answer questions for a few days as a frequent yahoo answers user.
eehh,… man i hope it would get fixed fast!!
well.
it isn’t OCCASIONAL.
it’s every time i try to answer.
and it’s getting annoying.
THANK YOU to whomever posted the comment about the percent sign! I took it out of my proposed answer, and it finally let me post!
i am dirt dyke diva, i want my y!A
Please hurry up with this stupid coffee break thing. But thanks for the awesome site, I love it!
man wtf yall been on a coffee break for six hours?
I too am upset with this.
Everyone else can answer, except me. I’ve went on one of my other accounts, they worked PERFECTLY. Now please yahoo get this fixed! It’s been going on since yesterday..and im stuck in the house also..it’s a rainy day today!
Please get this fixed A.S.A.P!!
Why can others ask? Why can’t I ask?
This is ridiculous. I took the time to write out about a 5 paragraph, detailed answer to an asker’s question about having symptoms of sweating and fever. I’ve been trying to submit my answer for about an hour and a half now, everytime getting that stupid coffee break screen. I’ve tried it with Opera, I’ve tried it with Internet Explorer. Everytime it didn’t work, I cleared the cookies and cache of both browsers and tried again. I’ve prolly tried about 30 or 40 times now, and it’s really pissing me off, that I have a best answer here, but because of this bug, or glitch or whatever you want to call it, I might not be able to submit it. Round of applause for all.
When can I ask? Or when will this breather/ coffee break end? I need to ask something urgent..
This is getting too much. How long does it take? I’ve been trying to answer questions every now and then for about 12 hours! And every time i get the stupid ”we’re taking a breather” message… Come on!
There are few things more annoying and frustrating than spending 30 minutes to an hour working on a really good answer, only to find you can’t post it.
Please let us know when this problem is fixed because I don’t want to waste any more time writing answers nobody will ever see, and I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking that way.
seriously, i put a lot of thought into my answer for a question, then your stupid message came up, i kept re posting it over and over and over but it still kep popping up. you guys have serious problems and a lot of users are going to stop using answers if you dont get these dumb glitches fixed.
Yahoo, may we please have an update on the current problems? When will they be fixed? Thank you.
I can’t ask questions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My questions do not show up in the categories and so no one answers because it isn’t there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes those coffe breaks is really annoying me.
What do you guys on Yahoo doing?
why does it seem like everytime i am on i get this stupid coffee break crap? is this website ever actually running? i have tried all day yesterday and all day today (so far) and still this stupid coffee break? i love your site and what it does but if the coffee breaks dont go i will. i am sure there are other sites that offer the same things.
is there anyway to get past the coffee break? i read something about % signs or something?
I am only 44 years old. When I was 3 years old, only the black and white TVs existed. My grandfather owned a Model T Ford. He had to crank the motor with a handle in front of the radiator to start the car.
My mother was a TV Producer, Director, Film Maker and became famous because of her documentaries. My mother taught me to face adversities. She gave up her career to raise her 5 children.
I cannot tell you how many times I have written an answer, a long answer, and kaboom, my answer is gone on a coffee break. The last time it happens, it happened 2 times in a row. I am still laughing.
So now it is a gamble. lol. I wondered if my answers should be shorter, just in case it gets lost in cyber space.
When I was a child, the futurist stories in cartoons of men co-habiting with machines was quite a fantasy. Today, the fantasy has become true. The machines are the computers. Computers everywhere, even in cars. Batteries did not exist when electricity did not exist. Can you believe that, that is how unevolved we were.
I read only a few of the answers above and stopped. Why are they so angry when they loose what they wrote. They could write it first in words. But they don’t because Yahoo is unique. They could copy and paste later before they Submit an answer.
To answer a question brings up self esteem. To loose the answer to a coffee break, brings down self esteem. Why ? There are few people on this planet who truly understand the function of the human brain.
When you write, you access different part of your brain. When you loose an answer to a coffee break, you access a different part of your brain. In 2006, I was rebellioius and my Yahoo account got deleted. I lost hundreds of blogs I had never saved elsewhere.
To keep, own and display an answer on Yahoo Answer is a prize to have. I love what I write and I reread what I write so I can learn to write better. I write too much, I have no time to reread all that I have written. So I do not save much of my writting anymore.
Anger is impatience. I am very patient with Yahoo because without Yahoo, seriously, I would be dead in 2006. I love everything Yahoo. Especially my avatar.
My mom passed away in May. My mom only discoverd the internet a year and a half ago. She discovered my avatar a year ago. She logged on to Yahoo everyday to see what my avatar looks like that day. We laughed hard together. She wondered why my avatar was so sexy. I told her that it was because I am sexy in real life. We both laugh. The last time I saw my mother was in 2002.
Can you imagine what Yahoo is going to be like in 25 years ! Go Yahoo Team Go !
btw Greetings from Seattle
Caroline aka Lapis Lazuli
I HAVE ANSWERED LIKE 12 QUESTIONS THIS MORNING AND THEY ARE ALL NOT COUNTED BECAUSE OF THOSE BLOODY COFFEE BREAK THINGS! I AM FRUSTRATED AND THIS SUCKS A LOT.
This coffee break seems annoying…never mind.
Well guys, enjoy the coffee (while you still can) lol
X
I see other peoples questions and answers on the page. Why not mine? I keep on asking a question since last 3 days, but its not appearing. However I answered few question, they also come up.
Why why why not mine?
Will we get this message if you guys are reviewing a post that was reported as abuse? I got this message a few days ago and then got an e-mail a few hours later about a post being removed for abuse.
Nevermind, the no % sign worked.
freaking stupid. i get all the way until it says Submit Answer and then BOOM, OOps on a break.
Well hurry up wth this break, i got questions to answer. That is is the point of Y!A, isnt it? hahaha
I wish I could take as many coffee breaks as Y!A lmao
OHMYGOD PLEASE HURRY UP AND EDIT I WANT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS!!!<3
Yes, it is terribly frustrating when you are so enthusiastic that you spend 30 minutes you never had in order to help someone only to get the breather notification. Which is funny cause you can post answers elsewhere, but not the one you spent so much time on. Always happens when I use numbers, or have long answers. Just tell me why it’s rejected and I’ll change my answer. What a waste.
If you go back a page, it will go back to the preview answer screen, so you can copy and paste it into a blank document and post it later! Has anyone else figured that out??
??
~ Kye
I understand you have problems and things come up, but problems with the answers section has gone on too long. It wasn’t broke in the first place. Ever heard the saying…if it ain’t broke ….don’t fix it! Ya, you need to apply that. The new version is horrible anyway and everyone hates it. Let’s get your act together ..M’KAY! Before people start leaving this site. Come ON!!!
Danget! Answering q’s is the only reason I signed up for yahoo. Well, that and so I could IM my friend
ive been waiting patiently but i cant take it anymore
please let me know wen this is gonna be over..i cant take it haha seriously i cant answer n im getting rlly mad
Yeah i have had to write alot of my questions up again, thats why i ctrl C ‘em
fix this glitch!
don’t believe Yahoo. It’s very, very annoying when they do this. You can not submit your answers. and their breaks are much too long. Recently, i discovered a trick. Signed off or log off and then reopen PC. Of course after I copied and pasted the answer to my inbox with the attached question and category as locating the question again becomes a problem. And viola YA is back
This is really annoying.
could you tell us when its fixed please.
Thanks
I am STILL unable to log into Yahoo! It just sends me in circles, back to the log in page! How much longer until this problem is fixed????
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!!!!
But how long will it take?
Aren’t you into Day 10 of getting this fixed? I honestly should never have to see this “coffee break” slug and what makes it especially frustrating is that I cannot back up and resubmit my answer. That question I am trying to answer is truly lost to me.
I realize that even Disneyland takes rides out for refurbishment, but they make certain that it is not out for that long. Every day these notices keep showing up makes more and more people think that you do not know what you are doing. And what took so long for you to admit it?
You’re frustrated? WE’RE frustrated!
Yes people!! I was able to post my question without the annoying coffee break message! There’s a comment here mentioning we don’t put any % sign in messages (like, instead of writing 10%, write 10 percent). I hope it works for you guys as it has worked for me. And I also hope this comment of mine goes through since I used too many %’s LOL
I like the website, but this does get very old, very fast. Isn’t there a way that you can do the majority of this at nighttime? Although, I guess that wouldn’t help some people who are not in the same country as me, huh? Just please get it taken care of quickly! This site is useless if I cannot actually ask any questions.
Good when you fix it maybe you can fix the putting all the questions in the hockey section. What really bothers me is I can answer some questions but not others because the “coffee break”. I know because I’ve had a tab open trying to answer a question, opened another tab and was able to answer OTHER questions.
well,i figure your doing something that has to be done.coffee or not. its kinda annoying when i have every thing typed out. and boom, its gone forgood.
I cannot post the entry I added to this blog. I had previously said that Yahoo! was probably taking an Amsterdam style coffee break, and that Yahoo! would probably crash at 4:20 PM. I guess they got insulted because I implied that the coffee break might actually be a different sort of break. So much for free speech.
Those Coffee breaks are REALLY annoying, I can’t even post ANY answers!!!!
For like the past hour today, i have tried to answer about 5 questions and all that time in a row it said “we’re taking a breather.” When will this problem be fixed???
I understand, but it’s not only the coffee breaks Mike. 360 is so messed up for me. I can barely leave comments. I lost my blog somehow. I can’t send or accept invites or testimonials. What’s the problem here? it’s been forever now. It’s just frustrating.
maybe if you worked on this problem more instead of creating new layouts with IRRITATING and POINTLESS spell checkers, and giving violations out for RIDICULOUS reasons, there wouldn’t be this problem!
Why do I get the “We’re on a Coffee Break” page all the time? It’s rather annoying. I can see that other members can post, while I cannot. Why? Is there a limit to the number of answers that a member can post? If there there is an unspoken limit, I think it’s appropriate to let the member know, rather than just block them.
Can anyone explain this to me? If others can post, why can’t I?
Thank you!
People don’t need to copy there answers in order not to lose something b/c of the “coffee break”
*Use Back-Space*
If you don’t think it’ll be up for a while, copy and paste it to notepad. If it’s that important, you’ll remember it.
PS, I love what the person wrote below me! Thanks “Lapis”
Here it is about 4 hours since I last posted and I STILL can’t answer any questions. You may need to switch to decaf. I want my yahoo back, *sob*
In the future, please add the amount of time of the average ‘coffee break’ to the coffee break message. Because 20 minutes and waiting is a bit long.
This is truly outrageous. I just spent 10 minutes typing in an answer and I can’t submit it. It’s after midnight and I need to turn off the computer so I can’t sit here for a half hour or more until the coffee break ends. Please post an update on the blog when the technical problem is fixed. In the meantime, I really can’t waste my time entering any more answers.
What I find interesting about this “coffee break” is that I am not able to answer the question I have taken time to answer, but I am able to answer other questions. I went back and it seemed that I was only unable to answer the one question. Very frustrating. Even more frustrating that Yahoo calls it a coffee break. While we’re spending the time to answer questions, Yahoo is out having coffee?!
i don’t even like coffee…
Yahoo Answers is fine the way it is now. leave it alone for awhile, and you’ll have less issues.
BTW. Is christian bale still answering that question? or has he already and i’ve overlooked it. if its been called off please post it in a blog or something. thx.
I’ve been getting the “Coffee Break” message for about 75% of the answers I put in. I think I got one in all last week without the error message blocking me.
So my answers have gotten drastically shorter in the past few weeks, if I answer at all. Hopefully the glitches will be worked out soon, but in the meantime, I’ll be looking at other “answers” websites.
What if everyone just took a coffee break from Yahoo! Answers for awhile?
So you can get your stupid freakin’ problem fixed!!!
Do you think you would like that???
I want to know why the spell check button is gone from the interface. I always run a check before I submit an answer. Taking that away just made it more trouble to check for good spelling.
I am sick of this. I keep typing out the great answers to help out some of these folks only to get this coffee break crap. I can copy and paste the answer in a word document and reboot the comuter and come back after 12 hours and I still cannot leave it.
I am sick of this and it needs to be fixed NOW!!!!
It is also hindering me. I have great answers but my ability to leave them has fallen off for over a week and this affects my percentage of top answers too.
How long can it take to fix a stupid bug that should not even be occuring in the first place? This has gone on far too long and needs to be resolved NOW!!!!
I’ve been using Yahoo for about 12 years now and I’ve always enjoyed it. I realize that I’m going to have to deal with the occasional malfunction due to outtages and upgrades and what have you. But no problem that Yahoo has had in the past has been as consistant as this “coffee break” issue. I just don’t seem to understand why this is a chronic problem. Hopefully you can explain in detail exactly what is causing the chronic interruptions..try and make us understand a little better. That way, we don’t get so irritated
Nope I have’nt had any taking a breather/having a coffee break alerts. Yep I have had the alert that the site is being updated,but maybe it’s because the last update did’nt work out so well.
This is a free service and I am thankful that you continue to work on it to make it better. People might cry but they are not paying anything except maybe making a number higher next to their username.
Nothing is perfect and things are not easy to do, if it was everyone would have another version of Y! answers.
These coffee breaks are ridiculous… fix the problem.
I’m just leaving answers for a little while. =/ Vacation’s all I ever wanted, vacation have to get away!
It takes 10-15 minutes to put together a well thought out answer for which we are guaranteed only to get 2 points. It is frustrating to have have it lost during a “coffee break”.
Yahoo! Answers is getting a lot of free content they would otherwise have to pay for. Contributors should be given a reliable platform.
Thank you for your continuing efforts to improve the site. I look forward to using your improved site.
I am right now, experiencing odd behavior with Yahoo! Answers like the avatar will not update.
Best site. Greeat you.
Seriously I haven’t been able to ask questions for 3 days and it’s a really important question. So please hurry up and fix the issues. Maybe you’ve bit off more than you can chew with the spell checker and tip features?
its every time i try and post a question it does this, with out fail, i made a diffrent account just to see if it was my account and it failed to, but i see that other people have posted questions right after i tried.
I understand that you’re working on the servers and the site, but I really think you should put a banner with an announcement stating that you’re doing so at the top of the Answers home page, as well as any other Answers pages, indicating that you are working on the site and that users may experience some problems in some areas.
I have had 4 coffee breaks in the past hour. Can you guys please look into it? It’s really annoying.
Sorry,
Chad
It’s truly aggravating to me, after I have answered a question……….then get this “Coffee Break Message”. How would Yahoo feel, if we left your site? Some of us truly enjoy this immensely. However, your site isn’t the only one on The Internet. Please understand this. I don’t mind the updates, but I do mind my answer being lost, at my expense.
Thank you for your consideration for updating at a different time of the day. Perhaps, in the wee hours of the morning when we’re sleeping.
Thank you,
t’love
Where have the Yahoo crew gone?
Loooooong time passssssing.
Where did the crew go?
Loooooooong time agoooooooooo.
Gone to the potty everyone!
When will they ever learn,
When will they eeeeever learnnnnnn?
.
You need a coffee break, fine with me. Why are some people upset, gee whiz.
I have not been able to leave a comment in over 3 hours!!
This is getting on my nerves!!!!!
your “coffee breaks” come at the worst times for me! i answer some1s question & click submit, & get the “……breather” pg. very annoying! i think the answers i give 2 peoples questions r important. they’re important 2 me anyway. otherwise, i wouldn’t b on answers n the 1st place. like right now, its 10:55pm where i am & i’ve been waiting 4 about 1hr. 2 make sure the answer 2 the last question i answered gets posted.
take shifts or something but NO BREAKS!!
This is not so much a comment as much as it a question, , I dont know how do we get stars, and I cant see my page so is it o.dk if I dont put badges on my page or wallpaper eather? I dont know where else to ask this question. April
It Sucks!
it really does my head in i start to rite out an important ansew it takes me ages to rite it out and get it right and then i press submit and i get we taking a break and it dont send to the person so iv just wasted all my time on that for nothing well thanks alot
Changing rules of game? I did hard work – was unable to upload answers – and the questions’ time to reply fades.
To be constructive, guys & ladies – you should stretch the number of days left to upload the answers …
Or is it that our effort to produce quality answers is of no concern to you?????
These coffee breaks are killing my time. I enjoy Y!A but this consistent error msg is making me want to quit! It’s too annoying.
Is Answers.yahoo.com the most useless, frustrating way to waste time online? Most of the answers are answered poorly, some with stupid comments, most have already been answered very well on other sites, just when someone needs an answer quickly, AY is taking a breather. AY is addicting, sort of like trying to get tickets at Gatti’s but, without the cheap trinkets at the end. I hope no one takes many of these answers seriously.
“T.BOONE” WAS A TOUGH HIT SO WE GET THE PROBLEMS. IT’S AN ICAHN THANG.
Come on, Yahoo! A community that is always down for server or expansion or whatever reasons is not a community, and cannot thrive. I’ll just make like its 1999 and Ask Jeeves.
What the heck are you people actually DOING?!?! Am I honestly supposed to believe that I’m the first person to put a damn comment on this subject since October 28th? Truth in advertising please. Your lack of professionalism is incredible.
I swear you guys take the longest coffee breaks in the world
