Every thread on mumsnet there's some cleverdick person who writes their post in this so called funny way with the irritating things they were 'going' to say crossed out in the middle of their post.

It makes reading things take twice as longer just so someone can be a smartarse so I'm a bit over it. I found it funny the first five times, now I'm just finding it annoying. Grin

StealthPolarBear · 27/05/2013 15:56

MacaYoniAndCheese · 27/05/2013 15:57

They are not 'creepy wee brackets'. They are coding marks.

GetOrfMoiLand · 27/05/2013 16:08

I am just thankful that we don't have don't have animated smileys on here, like the ones which roll and laugh. How fucking annoying are they?

Thumbwitch · 27/05/2013 16:08

I didn't mind the biscuit until people started saying it looked like an inverted boil, and could they have the colours the other way around for the pusporners.

Thumbwitch · 27/05/2013 16:09

Just type bear inside the square brackets, that's all!
