Ok is it just me that finds it completely irritating to see to see posters to include [sigh] in their posts.

It reminds me of a petulant child

I disagree OP

It can be so wonderfully passive agressive

I luffs* a bit of passive aggression, me

But it isn't as good as a well placed :)

valiumredhead · 26/11/2012 12:08

Oh I often include a sigh or a shrug - helps get my point across Grin

And sometimes I even include a LOL or a xxx.

MrsMushroom - I always read cnuts as C-Nuts, so I think of cashews. Grin

i hate FFS and Hmm

so rude

which is obvs the intention

Pagwatch · 26/11/2012 12:17

I use [sigh] and [shrug]

It is quicker than typing 'I have already posted this twice and in language a toddler with headphones on and his eyes shut would understand but you are either fucking thick or out for a fight so I will try just once more. A bit grudgingly' and 'it's alright. It doesn't matter that much'

Or sometimes I am just posting about personal stuff and feeling fatigued or trying to brush off a glum post.

So context matters really.

EverlongLovesHerChristmasRobin · 26/11/2012 12:18

Oh Jamie ffs is so needed sometimes! Grin

I could think of a whole lot worse that could be written Wink

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 26/11/2012 12:26

Everlong

Totally agree there.I don't know why FFS gets to me. Gawd knows, I think it.
Perhaps replace with OFCOL Wink?

ExitPursuedByABear · 26/11/2012 12:42

O.F.C.O.L.

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 26/11/2012 12:55

No, no "fucking" or "loser" in OFCOL. Much less aggressive

EverlongLovesHerChristmasRobin · 26/11/2012 12:57
