People often get angry about this, but most people need to learn how to ask good questions. One example of a bad way to ask questions is dubbed "The XY Problem"

* The person thinks (often erroneously) that Y is the solution, but doesn't know how to do Y either.

* The person asks for help with Y, rather than their original problem X.
