Stop quoting OP's original post!

I'm so glad you asked @perhapsatea.
I was too afraid to in case I got detention.😉

It means Too Long, Didn’t Read.

When someone writes a really long post, they’ll often add TLDR; followed by a basic summary of what their post is about so you can decide if you can be arsed to read it or not. That’s why it’s much more helpful if it’s at the top, not the bottom when you’ve already read the whole bloody thing

I’ll put my hand up and admit I don’t find it funny in the slightest, I’m not lacking a sense of humour but it’s so predictable, done so many times and it’s almost a bit embarrassing, like you can sense the person sitting in glee with their biting wit and clever comeback when it’s really not.

Well so much for lighthearted remarks.

I honestly think people either don’t know etiquette or do it to annoy. It’s not even funny and you can see folks repeating the op thinking they are legends in their own lunch hour, when everyone else is just thinking what a twat,

You don't know what everyone else is thinking. Speak for yourself and stand on your own thoughts. Don't try to drag a crowd into your bandwagon.

Some people find it funny, others don't. It's twattish to think your humour is superior. That goes for the other posters who think it's so painful to read people having a bit of silly "juvenile" fun. Scroll on if you don't like it and spare yourself. Surely that's common sense.

Mercurial123 · 10/08/2024 18:34

Agree, and why does the first poster have to copy the OP's post when responding? I've seen it happening quite often in the last few weeks.

Thanks....just have to remember the name now. If only the site told you.

It does tell you, type @ and it defaults to the OP

I don’t understand why this riles people up so much.

Me either, that's why I couldn't help poking the bear. 👹

It isn’t funny. I just sort of go - honestly, that’s your idea of a hilarious joke?

Not in the slightest, it was mildly amusing more than hilarious. More like an open goal really.

We've all read it. If you're replying to it we assume you've read it too. We don't need to scroll all the way through it again just to see your nugget of wisdom. Behave.

Couldn’t agree more with this

Funnily enough, twice recently I've replied to an op without quoting and the person who posted immediately before has got the hump, assuming I'm talking to them.

In both cases I thought it was glaringly obvious I was replying to the op. It did make me think maybe I should always quote the op when replying

thy @Gelasring but with OP's name.

OrangeSquareBlob · 10/08/2024 18:21

There is a way round it.

Press quote, write your reply, then clear quote before you post.

I do that as I can't remember all of OPs post then need to read it while I write.

Exactly.
It's that sort of feeble attempt at humour (repeated over & over) that makes me realise how much I would have hated being a primary school teacher.
Although at least young children can be expected to mature and learn.

Drives me crazy too, really wish they would disable that option.

Why? We didn't have it for years it's nice to progress

@jannier I'm on the app and all you do is press the @ on your keyboard and the list of posters is there so pick the one you want to reply to.
See OP I'm helping 🙂‍↕️

Justleaveitblankthen · 10/08/2024 18:12

I only use the App, which has limited functions at the best of times but, I would love to be able to immediately block any knobhead that does this 😡
In my experience, it's often poster number 3 or 4.
No Idea if they are the same person every time as I'm too busy scrolling furiously 🤬
