Usery refers to the act of deliberately misusing or taking advantage of someone’s generosity, usually in the context of online interactions. It involves exploiting someone’s time, resources, or kindness for personal gain without offering anything in return.
Examples:
1. A: Can you help me design a website for my business? I’m not very tech-savvy.
B: Sure, I have experience with web design. I’d be happy to help you out.
A: Great! Just make it look professional and incorporate my logo, and I need it done by tomorrow.
B: Wait, it sounds like you’re expecting me to complete the entire project without compensating me for my time and skills. That’s usery.
2. A: Hey, I heard you’re great at editing photos. Can you edit this picture for me and make it look amazing?
B: Of course! I enjoy editing photos. Please share the image with me.
A: Great, but I need it within an hour, and it’s an extensive editing job.
B: Hold on. You’re requesting a complex task with a tight deadline without offering anything in return. That’s usery.
In both examples, person A is making demands that exceed reasonable expectations without considering person B’s effort, time, or expertise. This behavior highlights usery, as person A is taking advantage of person B’s skills or willingness to help without reciprocation.
