To think people who type done on a thread are wankers

[lumbago]

Or "marking my place" - particularly distasteful on a relationship thread

I do it to remind me if I've done that survey or not. Don't see a problem with it.

Xenia does hers on her island

Getorf does hers in clean sheets

Dun dun dah!

You are entitled to think what you like. I don't think your opinions would be shared with very many people, so you are on a minority.

HTHs

YABU

Neither of these things bother me in the slightest.

I don't care about them either. And it frightens me a bit what seems to bother some people on here. I am probably annoying whole swathes of people on here everytime I post without knowing it.

'marking my place' only annoys me because it's cringey Mumsnet speak and is so overdone - as is 'pulls up a chair' 'gets popcorn' 'you are so gonna get flamed for this' 'unmumsnetty hugs' etc

.

I really don't care and I can't understand why anybody else would care either.

Nothing to add but marking my place

I always thought that "Marking my place" meant "I have the exact same problem as you but I am too lazy embarrassed to start a thread of my own so I am going to gratefully read any advice you get."

eg

OP: My DH has asked me to dress as an Ewok and swing across the bedroom on a vine. He says this would be the ultimate turn on. He has already been to B&Q for a rope to act as the vine.
Poster1: WTAF?
Poster2: Leave the bastard
Poster3: Trip trap
Poster4: Marking my place

And I have only ever seen "done" on a thread asking people to fill out an online petition.

.

Possibly sidertracking but I asked to put up a petition or at least discuss it and was told no. So where are petitions on sn????

Done is fine as it lets the op know people are doing it for them. Marking my place or just . is just plain rude!

But you wrote it in the title, OP. Doesn't that make you a wanker?

YABU OP.

I have bookmarks enabled, but where do I find them after I have left the thread? I seem to click on bookmark and then when I come back to the thread I can't find it? Must be doing something wrong.

Nearly done. Just need to flush. thanks.

Or,
I'm Neally Dunne, a greengrocer from Dublin.

Don't get done, get Dom.

But my Don is so much sexier! (Tempted to over-use punctuation just to piss Mrs Angry Pants off but couldn't be bothered.)
