I did ask for help! I specifically told you I don't know what you want me to do! How about instead of chewing me out twice, take 5 minutes and show me so I can move on to the other 18 "urgent" tasks I have!!!

Oh sorry, did I say that out loud?...

Panel 1A: Oh come on, this is obvious, you should be able to figure this out for yourself.

Panel 5: Here, I'll show you myself if you can't figure it out. All you have to do is...

Panel 6: Wait, that's not right.

Panel 7: I'm not sure about his, we'll have to look at the documentation.

Panel 8: Where's the documentation? What do you mean there isn't any?

Panel 9: Yes, I know I wrote the function, but I didn't have time to document it. Someone else should have documented it by now though, surely.

etc., etc.

I lost count of the number of functions that I was told "it's easy/trivial" when I asked for help to "you just don't appreciate how complex and difficult it is" when it was assigned to the senior to fix.
