I think the worst is when some people show a sense of entitlement and default to throwing a tantrum when a response doesn't go the way they want, even if it is the logical outcome of what has happened.
For example, one time I had closed an issue after asking for a clearly worded explanation to a claimed bug in implementation and/or a reproduction, and I got a broken reproduction with more unclear response. After closing the issue, I got some rapid fire responses in the issue from the person with all sorts of accusations.
After the person fixed the reproduction, it turned out the person was right, but unclear explanation and a supposed reproduction that did not show a bug caused a lot of wasted time because the person was too hasty, and the tantrum only added stress for all parties.
These are the types of interactions that make me want to not do open source work - people not taking the care to do the necessary investigation to avoid wasting time and generally respecting other people. It's as if those people don't realize that open source maintainers are there precisely to help if they can.
