This, a thousand times this.

Everyone is incompetent in some way, which is fine. In fact, I'll help someone out repeatedly if they are really interested in learning something but failing for some reason.

Then there's another level where some people seem to enjoy being incompetent. It is particularly infuriating when someone who is self-admittedly incompetent in an area waves their incompetence around like it's something to be proud of. At that point I just walk away.

A little effort goes a long way.
