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.

I had someone yesterday tell an outright lie, but let us assume it was an innocent mistake, when I kindly pointed it out she screamed at me about her terrible health issues.

What do you do with that?

Altho I do jump whenever someone calls me Hullygully like my mum is telling me orf.

People who post "just sayin'".

I know you are 'just saying'. That is quite evident in the fact that you have typed a statement.

They think they have posted something so unbelievably profound albeit simple in its approach.

They haven't. They just sound like know it all tossers.

And for some reason the apostrophe makes it worse.

What is mansplaining pleeeeease

I like the bolding of names as it makes spotting any replies easy to see.

Don't like @posters name that really gets my goat.

Text speak hunning

Telling a poster they need to buy a grip or various variations, but I suspect that's just me being miserable.

Tufty at spreadsheet

You could scratch her but you have the whole sore fingernails thing Hully.
You could kick her cats cold dead body?

Sorry tufty

mansplaining = that speshul man way of telling you what you mean or waht the issue is at great length, unnecessarily and very irritatingly

The variations on etc are well overdone.

Text speak. Thank god it's a minority occurence on this forum.

I think with the trexing thing and the pombears thing - you had to be on those threads live I think to have got caught up in the fun.

If you read it later on - it's not that funny. I was distinctly underwhelmed when I read them. But then again I roared at the thread where some MNers talked about bag o'mash and I am sure that a lot of people were completely about it.

Thinly veiled racism

Oh and the whole fuck off to the far side of fuck and when you get there bla bla bla.

Right, Ranty and Magdalen I found this explaining mansplaining - it's being a patronising know it all.

Posters doing that ^ slightly annoy me.

rudeness

i hate rudeness

I would also like to know if anyone else has noticed this new trend to excuse the AIBU object at any cost?

OPs who don't use paragraph breaks, or who punctuate every sodding sentence with '!'

Posters whose immediate response to someone acting like a twat is 'maybe they have SN' - no, they're likely to just be a twat.

What is MN royalty?

I dislike "am I pg?" threads with a list of symptoms. I know op is just excited but how the hell would I know the answer?! I am not a clear blue test!

But my biggest bugbear is "dons hard/tin hat" or "awaits flaming". Just makes me curse.

Bold for names works well so you don't miss something aimed at you.

"My child is ASD"

You know your child better than I do but I'll still risk a bet they're not actually an Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

And what Hully said.

I meant posters doing @

Thank you HullyGully [wunk] :P

I had someone yesterday tell an outright lie, but let us assume it was an innocent mistake, when I kindly pointed it out she screamed at me about her terrible health issues.

What do you do with that?

I believe that comes under the emotional blackmail bracket. There is nothing you can do with it, except poke them in the eye, and they can then add being blind to their list of things that make them special and above reprieve.
