AIBU?

to think this reads like the start of a joke?

When people start off their thread with:
Ok, so I was blah blah blah...
Or
So, my DH blah blah blah...
AIBU to be irritated? Probably.

It's much easier to spot the threads that are started by people with far too much spare time on their hands!

I don't think it happens often enough for me to care. I might have done it a few times too.

MrsWolowitz I was meaning OP's and threads like this one, not people who starts a sentence with "so" or "ok" Grin

i think it's a way of ordering your thoughts. it is for me anyway. like taking a deep breath and thinking what you need to say. when i use it, it's usually in threads where what i'm going to say is hard for me to 'get out in the open' so the 'ok' is a deep breath in preparation. i understand i dont need to put that in text but in threads like that i am usually typing as i think so as to get my feelings out there in as honest a way as possible to get the whole story across.

it's usually not the start of a joke.

So, okay, you think using that makes threads sound like a joke? And, so, okay, some others agree with you?

Interesting, like, I don't agree, so...okay?
