Sorry your coworkers are pestering you but it's usually better to be direct in a professional setting. I just tell juniors to do their proper research before bombarding me with questions.
Outside of work this feels a bit rude though. My GF asks me how traffic or the weather is daily. I'll answer and transition the conversation to other aspects of the day. We call this "small talk".

The is a website for this
It generates a Google page, types in their search and then dumps them into the actual Google page with the search pre-populated

I often have to remind myself I'm not their parent, nor paid to be their teacher. Why do I care to correct them?

So that time I brought fresh hot Popeyes chicken and sat in first class and ate it as we boarded?
Worth every stink eye.

Here is your "LPT" verbatim:

Now, pray tell ... where does it say "constant annoyance" in there?

Me at work. I don't fight people at work unless I'm responsible for them because their screwup reflects on me. If someone on the same footing or higher than me wants to argue when they're wrong... hey, go ahead and walk face first into that wall that you don't think is there.

For sure.
Sorry to be pedantic, but it’s “closed-minded,” as in someone has closed their mind to new information or differing opinions.

I'm truly sorry that I upset you. I can assure you that my comment was genuine and I honestly felt like I was using the proper words to help. I'll work on my message in the future to make it more palatable. Have a good day, friend!

yeah, I read your LPT and it's condescending and douchey. I can see why you have no friends.

That point is when they have stopped listening with intent to understand. My opinion is not validated by other people, and my time is not free. If somebody asks me about how I see a particular matter, I am happy to explain; if they don't want to hear it, well then they can certainly be free.

I did read it. This isn't how the post comes off. It makes you sound like an asshole. Why is it do you think so many others are responding the same way I did? As someone who is awkward in face to face conversations I've been told this exact thing I wasn't being persistent or lazy I just wanted to interact with the person and I wasn't sure how to and it hurt to be dismissed like that. It makes trying to talk to another person that much harder.

AITA: for not engaging someone in polite conversation and instead being passive aggressive and dismissive?

I've noticed that sometimes you can just nod to their opinions and waste so much less time. I do this with my grandparents : I'm a not going to change their mind so I just nod and get over with it. I don't want to spend the time I have with them arguing.
