It's also because even if you know exactly what to do.. you do it in the estimated time, but then the customer asks for 3-4 changes afterwards.. so that doubles the time as well. Also bugs.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Pro tip: guess, double it, add some more. Then be prepared to be waaaay off still.
If it's a sales person wanting the estimate, triple it. They are going to take some off anyway and put you under pressure
Hahahaha.. thanks for sharing 😃

It's because people either over estimate their ability, or underestimate the work required. Usually both.
yes it also equals out over many people
but always better to be pessimistic
