What's up wit the "Please answer" "Please respond"

[Mindwarp]

I've noticed that a lot of people do that on forums, youtube ect., and I'm sure some of you have noticed it as well, someone will ask a question and then put in 'please respond' or 'please answer' It's freaking annoying. The person comes across as a whiney, high-maintenance, retard. People will answer if they see fit.

I don't understand the problem. Please respond.

[Coelacanth]

I don't understand the problem. Please respond.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

[Charlie don't surf]

I don't understand the problem. Please respond.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I was going to respond, but since it's being demanded NOW- the hell with it

I haven't noticed it happening a lot but it seems to be just another one of those little annoying things. I don't get the reasoning behind it.

It's just one of those things that bug me. I just get the mental picture of a sniveling little brat demanding something.
