Rant Obnoxious FAQ is Poor Choice IMHO...what about you?

[srockhard]

I kinda fucking hate when sites/businesses have frequently asked questions listed on their site that turns into a mockery. I understand they think it is funny to be sarcastic and spout non-sense but it comes off to me as being more of less disrespectful toward their customers as well as being unprofessional. Does this shit bother you too? Best practices? I think not...here is an example:

My example is bad because ...?

FAQ-I am a being from another planet and my flying saucer is too large for a designated parking spot. Can I just park on the Twin/snack bar roof?
Answer-No, but you can hover above it as long as you can pull that off silently and it does not disturb other patrons.

I think that this question is intended to tone down the bossy aspect of this FAQ, but there is some serious answers in this FAQ so it's ok for me.

I heard that some people think that it is ok to put a cat in a microwave in the USA

...more from example...

FAQ-Does the drive-in assume any liability for my complete and utter lack of common sense and/or the fact that I am an idiot doing stupid things?
Answer-No.

I think you are running out of things to bitch about.

That's terrible business practice and I think it makes them look like assholes. Their FAQ page doesn't even provide a list of questions linked to the answer even if it is a snarky waste of space and time.

Would not make me want to go there and might actually make me choose another place to see a movie. Like in my house with a big TV and all the food a few steps away and no rules but my own.

Cha-ching!

Here's a FAQ for you:

Q: Why do certain GFYers start bitchy threads bringing up bullshit no one cares about?
A: Usually, they are in search of a life. In rare instances, it is due to a personality disorder. Bad diet, lack of exercise, poor vision, a failing immune system and an overall loser attitude may contribute to this condition. For more information please contact your local psych ward 's Support Dept. for help in removing this malware.

Better?

Or, maybe they need a momentary distraction from all of their workload and thought they would run something past their peers instead of whacking off again. It happens!

If you have built a site that matters in the last 4 or 5 years your client may have wanted a FAQ so that is why I would imagine people here would care to listen to my rant.
