Do you hate polls whose answers are not mutually exclusive?

Yes, those of us who prefer green socks need checkbox polls instead of radio buttons.

A mutually exclusive poll would be where none of the answers conflict, for instance, Yes or No. In a non-mutually exclusive poll the answers conflict as several of them may be true at once or they all be false. Most polls seem to make this mistake and you end up with someone saying 'I can't vote in this poll because my view is not covered by any of the options/more than one option'.
