Non-helpful helpful boomer

The non-helpful helpful boomer is typically found in online groups on Facebook, but can infest other sites. The non-helpful helpful boomer will see a question asked online and will feel a compulsive urge to answer the question, even if they don't have any answers. Some may in fact use the opportunity to brag about something expensive they own to do the job.

For example;

"Hey does anybody know if I can use a printer to print out the templates to use and save some money, as I'm a little broke?"
Nh.h.b: "I would never, it takes too much time, but I do own a brand new top of the line cricut machine that I use to do it all for me."

Other nh.h.b. "I buy mine precut, so I don't know"

Third nh.h.b "Sheep are nice"

I can't use Facebook groups anymore because they are overrun with non-helpful helpful boomers.

DMV helpful

A customer service representative, server or any other service worker who is just helpful enough to get by.

I called the cable company to ask about my bill.
Were they helpful?
Yeah...DMV helpful! I was on for 40 minutes and I still don't have HBO.

Negative Helpful

The misinterpretation of someone's genuine efforts to problem-solve, provide solutions, or meet goals as being negative or pessimistic. Often encountered in workplaces or group projects where constructive feedback is misconstrued as criticism.

Every time I suggest a way to improve our process, they label me as "negative". I'm just trying to make things work better!
Chrystal wasn't being a downer; she was just being negative helpful. He genuinely wants the project to succeed.

Helpfuk

when the act of seeking assistance, or attempting to be helpful, actually worsens the problem.

Thomas Midgley, Jr. Invented Leaded petrol to stop knocking as well as the first CFC's to stop refrigerators from killing people. These were both real helpfuks.
