To think people who type done on a thread are wankers

[lumbago]

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

Done a

I was going to say YABU, but others have 'done' it for me .

No, I'll tell you what is bloody rude though! When a poster comes on and asks a question or for advice, like:

OP: I'm struggling with my one year old who won't stop reading War & Peace, please does anyone have any advice?

Reply 1: Oh yes, I've been through this, don't worry he'll soon get bored and lah blah blah.

OP: Bump

Reply 2: Wow, so clever. Speak to your HV etc blahdy blahdy blah.

OP: .

OP: .

Reply 3: blahblahblah

OP: BUMPING FOR MORE REPLIES.

THAT'S feckin rude!

I've only seen done on a thread if it's saying they've signed a petition or suchlike. Or people saying I'm done when they mean I give up. Not sure about this marking my place. Don't even know what it means.

You are a miserable old bag know if you go into customise you can chose the function to 'hide' threads.

A lot of the long running threads like the brookers or the rat smaketeers and many others are for support for various reasons and they put those key words in the title to make it easy for their 'regulars' to find the current thread. Hiding the threads mean they won't appear in your Active Convos

They can piss off to hidden corner too. Wtf is brook ?

Oh you're back, - anything else annoyed you today?

^ hide button y'know

I always smile at the BROOK threads as I remember back in the 1990s spending a couple of days working as a temp for the personnel department of London Underground.

They were recruiting for posts like ticket collector . .. fairly basic positions, and there was an English exam that candidates were required to pass.

One of the HR people was reading out some of the questions, which all of the HR people in the office found really difficult. I didn't. One that completely flummoxed them was the one involving the word "brook." They thought it meant a stream. None of them could understand that it can also mean: to tolerate or something similar.

I piped up "Have you never heard 'I will brook no refusal' ? "

< tumbleweed >

I may have said something about the irony about HR people giving candidates a English test they wouldn't have been able to pass themselves. It may or may not have gone down like a cup of cold sick.

The most annoying thing I see on threads is...

"End of."

Just fuck the fuck off with your fucking dismissive bollocks.

Thanks.

Oh, I hate "End of". It smacks of "talk to the hand".

I hate "so sue me/shoot me " too. And "Just sayin"

Marking my place.

Done.

I am officially a passive aggressive wanker.

Thanks
