Have you ever noticed when someone follows a suggestion with the phrase “problem solved”, the suggestion is usually condescending as fuck?

    Adding “problem solved” is a 10x condescension multiplier, so that tracks.

    It implies that the problem was so trivial that they could solve it in an instant, and also assumes that they have the context to accurately assess whether the proposal is a good solution, when they almost certainly have received an abridged version from you.
