Offering solutions is annoying - Lemmy.World

I’m a problem solver. I know how to solve those problems!

It took years of marriage before it was pointed out that’s not what the complainer wants.

Step one: get lighter fluid.
Step two: set desk on fire.
Step three: quit.
Step four: woah, hold on I was just joking!

(Well, about the fire at any rate…)

Lighter than what?
In case you were seriously asking, “lighter fluid” is just fuel/gas to quickly (an accelerant) start a fire. So the fuel you might find in a cigarette lighter. Typically when people say “lighter fluid”, in this case, they mean the giant squirt bottle that you use on a barbecue pit to get the coals to light faster.
