To wonder what other posters do that really annoy you?

[atthewelles]

For me it would probably be:

Not reading the OP properly and going off on a tangent
Pulling a thread totally OT in order to have a two way jokey conversation with someone else that goes on for pages and pages
Looking up someone's posting history and saying 'well on 5th April 2006 you said this and now you're saying that.

Ah. Right. Get you, usual/hully.

to annoy someone

oh yes, on the one lunch boxes thread someone came out with "I hand mould freshly made sushi rice into cute shapes for the DC's lunch boxes".

Oh COME ON. No one does that.

Though, true story, until five years ago, DH's grandmother would make couscous grains (BY HAND), cous cous sauce and fresh bread for each of her four children and their family, every friday. She also used to bake so many cakes/biscuits etc. that she had to borrow the oven from the baker downstairs, it wouldn't fit in hers. She's awesome. She told us we needed more men shooting guns at our wedding

The gist I got from the thread was if you use fresh meat but a shop bought jar of sauce it was called semi-scratch cooking , because it wasn't truly cooking from scratch.

The bath/shower thing is mental.

I would do anything fir a shower though. I only have a bath and a shower head things twat attaches to the taps so I can wash my hair.

sp stop moaning. We don't even have running water. We get our water from the stream and wash in the tin bath in the front room

See, that semi scratch bollox is what I call cooking from scratch. I mean if it isn't ready cooked then I cooked it FFS.

Posters who get frisky whenever anyone remotely male comes onto a thread or on a live chat. There was one in particular that was just utterly cringe making. I had to log off at once.

I stand in the bath wearing a grass bikini and the toddler sprays water at my from a tiny water pistol. The water he collects from puddles.

Cooking from scratch to me means not using the microwave

Ill stop posting emma Sorry its just been a while you know

Just seen my other post. I obviously type Twat more the what

Aaah emma yes! I thought I was the only one who could detect the undercurrents. All the flirting and the virtual batting of eyelashes...

I've also never seen people laughing and joking on a serious thread.
And the What are you having for tea tonight/What are you wearing today/What do you put in you're children's lunchbox are the most hilarious threads on MN.
I love them.

Lady I honestly think people look at posh restaurant menus on Google and just pretend its their meal when really they are sat with a Pot Noodle and the children are eating turkey twizzlers

I feel the same about 'what are you wearing' threads.

I always want to post ' a kilo of goose fat and a gimp mask'.
In fairness that could go on a cooking thread too

I haven't seen people dicking about on a SERIOUS thread by posting things like: 'Oh, I am going to wave to Poster I Haven't Come Across In A While'. I think that kind of light-hearted comment or 'wave' tends to happen only on a chat-type thread.

But I have seen an OP post a heartfelt thing along the lines of 'i am realy upset pls lisen life is terible' - and then some HORRIBLE person comes along and says 'Please post your OP with proper spelling and paragraphs'. That just seems so unfeeling to me.

Princess I've seen someone write "its hurting my eye, no paragraphs" on serious threads before too

I hate bloody spelling tossers.

People who don't read the whole thread

People who agree with someone on page 20 when I said it better on page 2

Hi Paggy!

I agree with clam

And yes of course there are lots of people who think you should have a shower after having a bath.

Having a bath = nice warm feeling, but essentially you are wallowing in your own dirt. So having a shower afterwards = rinsing off that dirt.

Damnit! I agree with bran

People who don't know the difference between the words "WOMAN" and "WOMEN", and how to use these simple words.

Woman: Noun

Women: PLURAL!!!!

"A women gave me the evils today. What a bitch."

You get my point.

Hi Jamie

I want examples because I am one of the people that complaint is often levelled against. The whole, Oh look at you and your mates messing about and talking to each other, derailing the thread, you're so quichey etc thing..

I would like to see an example of that done on a sad/serious thread.

Or, if one is not to be provided, stop fucking saying it happens.

Fair?

I saw Bran the other day. She agreed with me.

It was nicely done.
