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.

So say I wrote:

Stop been a fuck face please

Is that passive aggressive or is it a like smile after constructive criticism?

in my phone makes it look like the smile is moving

Actually my dad has broken both my hearing aids. He is driving my mother mad. I went out with them today .... Hilarious.

his hearing aids, sorry

I got pass- agged with one of these fuckers in my first week

they are dead to me now.

You ok pickled?

runs like fuck

you know I can't run at the moment you'll just have to have one of these instead

Oh ok petal

I hate the 'yawwwwn, this has been done to death' comments, when posters think a thread is boring and unoriginal.

The site is full of members new and old and the same topics will get repeated by newer members and it just appears rude when older members that have been around the MN block a few times say dismissive things.

ar KumquatMae's name . Said it out loud and it tickled me

I hadn't been on this site long (3 years ago?) when I came across a thread about - dunno - buggies on the bus, or children at a wedding, or something similar. Almost instantly, someone rudely posted Yawn!, or Haven't we done this eight million times already?

Then along came a nice poster to point out that someone (especially a newbie) might not actually know the subject had been done to death already. So why not discuss the topic anew?

Amazing thought, eh?

(PS the nice poster pointing this out was Hecate, but of course I don't want to say that in case I'm accused of brown-nosing, etc...)

As said upthread, why click on a thread if you don't want to discuss it yourself? Why not leave it to people who do want to discuss it?

Who's preparing the haggis?

Zombie has the single malt.

[bhmm] Where's Scottishmummy?

Dunno, I don't really really hate anything except nastiness. I am beige tonight.

Oooh look at that [bgrin] [bgrin] [bgrin].
As a Scot that doesn't like haggis or whisky I'm still oddly proud of Burns night.
I love the fact that we celebrate a poet.

Salmo I know from embarrassing pukes.

I once carpet-bombed my Grandpa's living room with a mix of vodka, cranberry juice, bar peanuts, and bile. In front of assorted family members. Who were there to see him because he'd just been released from the hospital with a very serious illness. He was sitting there gawping at me over the mask of his oxygen tank.

I saw actual murder in my mother's eyes that night...

My esteem for Paggy has increased - puking into a clutch at a posh do, that's clars that is. And Buppy as well - I've NEVER thought of puking into a skirt. GENIUS

I remember for SIL's birthday one year when I was a teen, I got a bit merry, and then had to spend the night sleeping on my 2 year old nephew's floor, but actually spent most of the night running to and from the bathroom. The next day we managed to convince DM that I had food poisoning. From salad.

I have been married twice. Bothe times I was hungover and puking up untill the car came

I am fucking hardcore

An OP with a lot of chats peak followed by one snotty reply saying "I didn't understand a word of that.". Seems snotty. On the other hand, some dyslexic posters once pointed out they can't read the op and it's frustrating cos they want to help, so maybe the snotty comment comes from a place of love.

Maybe all snotty comments come from a place of love. In the spirit of "I'm doing this for your own good." True charity, without a smidgen of self-obsession.

'Kinell, this has moved on!
That reminds me, doesn't it piss you off when you're late to a thread and still have six pages to wade through, and by the time you do, you've forgotten what it was you were going to say, and everybody's fucked off anyway?
