YABU.

You should have put this in AIBU and given us the vote.

That's it really.

Driving me batshit today. It's bad enough most days but for some reason today every thread I have been on is eleventy-billion pages longer than it should be because it's full of people quoting the original post and then adding a tiny comment.

Even worse people quoting the OP, responding to the OP which has moved on by miles.

But mostly people just quoting the OP.

WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ANSWERING. IT'S A GIVEN. PLEASE USE THE QUOTE ONLY WHEN YOU ARE REPLYING TO A DIFFERENT, SUB-QUESTION OR COMMENT, THANK YOU.

Drives me flipping crazy too

OTOH it really fucking annoys me when people don't quote another poster and just go 'oh yes I agree Sandra' and you have to scroll back 75 posts to see what Sandra said.

Yes, this bugs me more

Completely agree, anyone doing this should be banned.

Equally irritating are the ones who quote a huge, lengthy response to the OP and then just type ‘this’.

This.

(I was actually just about to write what you said, almost word for word.)

JamDodger · 21/06/2023 07:57

This has been the most unexpectedly funny thread I’ve seen for a while. Thanks for the laughs OP. Sorry I’m not a frequent poster so don’t know how to quote (yet).

Thereoughttobeclowns · 21/06/2023 07:59

I agree. It’s fucking annoying. People do it for no reason whatsoever.

Mars27 · 21/06/2023 08:23

@MicrowaveRice I feel like Sandra always gives important contributions.

I agree with you OP. I knew the thread would be full of people thinking they are hilarious by doing it as well. It really isn’t!

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 21/06/2023 12:36

I think it's worse when the first reply quotes the op. Not like we've no clue which post you're refering to 😅

Yeah I’m not seeing it @Motnight … sorry. It’s like smiling politely at bad jokes from aged relatives at a wedding.

I can see that you feel strongly about this. What with the name calling and stereotyping.

Totally agree OP.

merrymelodies · 21/06/2023 13:19

Agreed. And I'm not reading anymore of this thread because of all the wiseacres who think they're HILARIOUS by proceeding to requote the OP. 😠
