I am definitely in your camp on this, I get fed up with newbies saying "LW gave me viruses" when all it takes is a bit of common sense to avoid being infected.

I also dislike newbies who expect to be spoon fed on how to use the applications on their PCs instead of reading their manuals.

I even hate newbies that start of by saying “I'm not a nerd” or “I'm not a geek” as if that was some sort of badge of honour, since when was ignorance something to be proud of?

I am more than willing to help people who have run into a "brick wall" or who are genuinely stuck, if I can, but those that just can't be bothered or expect to be wrapped in cotton wool can go and do some growing up (newbies, welcome to the real world).
