Frustrating threads.....What do you hate?!

What do you find frustrating on a thread?!

I have been posting on a thread this morning offering my advice but the OP clearly doesn’t want to take on board what I or pretty much anyone else is suggesting. Which of course is their perfect right. I find it annoying though when the OP gets sidetracked and derails their own thread by responding to a poster (possible troll) who disagrees with the OP, rather than focusing on the various advice others have taken the time to post.
It seems that some OP’s don’t really want advice, maybe they just want to talk about their problem but not consider any advice, I think they should say this at the beginning if that’s the case!
Maybe it’s my problem for getting too over invested due to insomnia!

The thread I was posting on has since been hidden by MNHQ because they are taking a look at it Hmm

But no one has to take advise and someone people do come on just to vent? You don't have to start a thread to take advice on board if all you want to do is talk about your problem.

You sound a bit nosey Grin

I hate those silly “funny” threads where they’re written from the point of view of a cat/toddler/fictional character. They’re just such a waste of everyone’s time.

@SpillTheTeaa - Ha! Yes maybe I am nosey but I did admit in my post that I’d probably become over invested! Plus I did say it was their perfect right not to consider any advice too. Grin

@heartsonacake - Yes I know what you mean I often tend to avoid those, you have to be in the right mood to join in with those threads for sure.

Virtue signalling threads wrapped up as something else.
"aibu to give the homeless man in the town centre a fiver every time I see him, I was taking my perfect ds from his super selective grammar school to his grade 19,000 piano lesson and he asked me why I'm always so kind and generous. It just made me stop and think. AIBU? “
