To find that 'strikethrough what you really wanted to say' thing annoying?

[Cosydressinggown]

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.

You are the ONLY cool kid to use that tee.

You are like me when I was 15 and wore a second hand three piece men's suit with some superga plimsolls to school on non uniform day because I thought it was cool, and 1500 school kids did a simultaneous wtf? At me before severely taking the piss. Literally too cool for school. Or, looking back, too tool for school.

I really like the , it's my joint favourite with

Someone said the biscuit looked like a bum hole after anal sex.

HA I DID IT

I never liked the bear but then I never thought the pombear classic was funny.
I am a sad and humourless mumsnetter.
And I have still never given a biscuit.

do you wanna hug the getorf

That's because I'm the coolest of the cool kids, GOML.

I used to wear my step fathers 1960's terry cloth lined swimming pool coat to school. Now that was cool.

Go on LadyBeagleEyes you know you want to.

I hate that fucking stupid bear

LBE, you know what? It isn't funny. You're right. The rest of MN is insane. Are insane? Insane in any event.

::LBE and Tee sitting at the super cool kids table::

Simultaneous wtf

When it's used passive aggressively I don't care for it much either. Everyone likes different things though, I suppose.

A passive aggressive HTH Is fab though.

I love a good strikethrough.

I love me some creepy wee brackets. And some strikethrough.m

Am I the only one who reads 'creepy wee brackets' in the worst best Scottish accent their mind comes up with?

GetOrf bloody hell, now I no longer see bikkies. Just arseholes.

Cripes.

Overusing anything is annoying.

Like me and my smilies.

I know I use them too much and half of mn sits there chewing their keyboards.

A single strikethrough in the right place can be funny. half the post just makes it a damned mess.

I love strikethrough. I have happy memories of the day it arrived.

I too loved the thread where tech was bullied encouraged to enable mumsnetters to use the strike through like he had.

I love strikethrough and I use it to express all the passive aggression I suppress in RL

I also love , . and most of the other emoticons, though I cannot for the life of me understand why we still haven't got one for . (MNHQ take note)

I overuse smileys too much as well hec.

Plus I lol all over the place, which I know people HATE.

I am not a lolling Hun, though. There is a subtle difference.

I think it is OK to say 'lol at Hecate ' for instance.

What is inane is the 'I went to tesco and there was no lambrini left lol so I had to buy Lambrusco lol'

I dislike the cup of tea, probably because the abbreviation for it is brew, and I HATE that.

The only thing I brew in life is simmering rage and resentment. Not beverages.

LOL GOML!

I like the juxtaposition of arseholes and cripes!

FWIW I've long been nursing a conviction that I am the only one on here who uses the 'italics' function.
