Never heard this before but the term "Help Vampire" is spot on! I called them lazy and ignorant an-alphabets.

I look back at my posts when I was young and naive and pull this face
But I think there is a difference between being naive about what you want to do and asking for too much help and doing so, but never really learning from it.
I try to be helpful with my responses these days. Give a idea of what to do. Reference docs and link them. Gently shove them to solving the problem for themselves.
I may even post snippets of code, but if anyone asks me "Can you pls post code?" I fly off the wall, sacrifice a puppy and a kitten and write a letter to Satan asking to reserve a special place in hell for them.
Then post code that won't work off the bat, but should work with some thought based on suggestions I have previously posted. If they then say the code doesn't work... I talk myself off the ledge.

Some kind of negative publicity which works positively, just like Hollywood. Yesterday, I read a article about a new top domain name ".sucks" (not sure it is real), which would serve the same purpose.

I apologize if you already know this. Yes, I have been living under a rock, for all these years. 
edit: it will bring up a utility page, first.

Actually, if you have Chrome installed, the best place to go is the Control Panel Programs and Features applet.
I'll let you guess at the rest of the process.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Three golfers are walking down the fairway."Sixty is the worst age to be," said the 60-year-old, "You always feel like you have to pee. And most of the time nothing happens."
"Ah, that's nothing," said the 70-year-old. "When you're 70, you don't have a bowel movement anymore. You take laxatives, eat bran, you sit on the toilet all day and nothing happens."
"Actually," said the 80-year-old, "Eighty is the worst age of all."
"Do you have trouble peeing too?" asked the 60-year-old.
"No, I pee every morning at 6.00 am. I pee like a racehorse; no problem at all."
"Do you have trouble having a bowel movement?" asked the 70-year-old.
"No, I have one every morning at 6.30 am."
Puzzled with this the 60-year-old said, "Let's get this straight. You pee every morning at 6.00 am and poop every morning at 6.30 am. So what's so tough about being 80?"
"I don't wake up until seven."

...and is watching the TV she recorded last night: "Bondi Vet" (or "Bondi Bob" as I prefer to call it)
And all I can hear is "Awww!", and "Sobbb" - followed by the classic "It's a sad one today - it's full of sick animals". 
He's a vet fer Bob's sake! What do you expect him to deal with? Bruised apples? 
What soundtrack do you have in the background today?

Pretty much the same one everyday Griff. A combination of the soft drone of the forced-air HVAC system, the white noise sound interruption suppression system (which sounds amazingly like the former) and our IT guy muttering maniacally to himself (largely drowned out by the first two).
Welcome to cubicle world!
Speaking of soundtrack and our IT guy, I played a spontaneous practical joke on him yesterday. He was testing out some device and part of his test involved playing Over The Hills And Far Away. When he stopped playing it, I quickly delved into my LZ stash and located the point where he had stopped and started playing it through my PC speakers. He looked a little confused for a period until he worked out it was me.

I have the usual on/off music.
Can't listen to it when thinking of a plan for a new app or when making a concept.
When I know what I want to do and just start coding, that's when the music plays - if no one else needs to talk to me of course.
Usually it's a mix of classical music(Wagner,Tchaikovsky), movie music, techno(bit of trance), (hard) rock and (insert x genre here) metal.
Lately I've been preferring Devin Townsend, Opeth, Neurotech and Anathema.

I do have a lot of soundtracks running, music and noise... But there is no background, everything seems pretty gray today!

Same here. I used to drown it out with music, and most of the time ambient noise pretty much distracts me from it, but times like now, it's just a lovely roar.
