This tutorial is based on my own (and I'm sure, many others)
experiences both from mortal times and from my brief immortal time.

1) The MOST important thing to remember:
When you want to ask a question, FUCKING ASK THE QUESTION!

Being polite is quite acceptable. Eg.
-Excuse me, can I bother you? I have this issue with my doodad that
is flabbering around foobarily instead of fluffily.

Notice: THE QUESTION IS THERE ALREADY.

2) HOW NOT TO ASK QUESTIONS:
-Sorry, can I bother you?

That's just wasting everybodys time, and I at least often idle, so I
won't be able to answer that later as the questioner didn't bother to
ask. Of course this kind of questions often are followed by:

-Are you sure?
-I don't want to bother you.
-Are you sure I'm not bothering you?
-Ok, so I'm bothering you now, but can I still ask the question?
-Are you sure?

-Era of the idling

PS: Yes, if you ask a question, I at least most likely will answer.
Propably not right away as I tend to idle, but eventually. That is,
IF there is a question to answer to.
