Some of them are probably insecure about their own limitations and find pleasure in mocking someone who knows a little less than they do. On the other hand there may also be, among the crowd, those who genuinely found your mistake to be an unusually funny one.

    And the irony there is at some point in their career, they were in OPs position asking for help as well. So it’s either a cycle (people were also rude to them back then) or they’re the pull-the-ladder-up-after-yourself type of person.
