Also, if you do go ask for help, tell them what you already tried (and you know, actually try some things, even if that ends up being a waste of time).

I love helping people that have put in the effort to try doing something themselves, but I hate helping people that just dump their work in my lap.

The “I tried nothing, and I’m all out of ideas.” trope.
