For example, the top ten threads in AIBU as I write this, have me thinking:

  1. Eh? Wha?
  2. Nope, sounds reasonable to me.
  3. Ok... I'll bite
  4. That's gotta be a wind-up
  5. Depends on your reasoning I suppose. I'm going to say 'probably'.
  6. Which side of the fence are you? If you're the same side then YADNBU. Otherwise YA most definitely BU.
  7. Oh god, not another one.
  8. Is he an adult? Can he make his own decisions?
  9. High maintenance much?
10. Oh yeah, I read that one yesterday. YANBU.

I think I ended up reading three of them (and posting on none).

So, what goes through your mind when you scan thread titles, and what went through your mind when you read this one? Grin

ArgyMargy · 26/09/2014 18:38
  1. Didn't we do this last week?
  2. Why do you have to start your title with "So,"?
  3. Have you ever thought of doing a thread search?
  4. Ditto Google?
  5. If you can't be arsed to undo your stupid autocorrect, I can't be arsed to read your post.
  6. Oh good, another Fight Club!

Also, is it weird that I love neighbour and MIL threads?

Alisvolatpropiis · 26/09/2014 19:23

Re your thread title - this will be fun

Generally the top 10 i scan through go something like this -

  1. oh god not again
  2. really? You know you're not being unreasonable
  3. for fucks sake parent and child spaces aren't comparable to blue bags spaces
  4. yes, yes dogs are satan you are quite right Hmm
  5. Christ, someone has to tell little Timmy no
  6. oh god why is this being discussed again
  7. this will end badly
  8. I'll get some popcon ready for this one
  9. this will attract the usual crowd
  10. if you think you've been reasonable there is nothing I can say to you.
PrettyPictures92 · 26/09/2014 19:56
  1. you've put every starting letter in your title with a capital letter, you need to learn when capitals are important. Also, you're probably being unreasonable and I'm going to offer you a biscuit.
  2. Oh fuck, I'm going to open this and see my neighbours have finally found the one last place that I can escape to and are going to make this hell for me too. Avoid, avoid, av - ok not my neighbours
  3. boring, not opening. Oh, it's still active? Not opening. It's still going?!? Ok I give, what's it about...
  4. YADBU just by your title alone.
  5. I'm not going to read this... oh to hell with it I'm bored.
PrettyPictures92 · 26/09/2014 21:50

I also apparently can't count since I put 6 before 5... and I killed the thread too Sad

Alisvolatpropiis · 26/09/2014 21:53

Grin @ pretty

I didn't even notice the missing 5, not sure what that says about me!

Monmouth · 26/09/2014 22:02

Some headings are very bland, then you see there are 300 posts, so worth a look.

Another time you click on a thread and find a huge chunk of text, no paragraphs, just can't be bothered to wade through it.

UterusUterusGhali · 26/09/2014 23:36

I've been doing this all night!

Grow a pair.
Yes.
I expect so.
Ltb.
Fgs.
Woman up.
Probably.

Etc etc.

ControlGeek · 27/09/2014 11:55

I love these! I thought maybe I'd be alone in mentally commenting on titles Grin

I didn't notice your missing 5 either pretty!

  1. Sunshine
  2. Charlatan
  3. If you think he is, he is.
  4. What the hell is that?

Here's a new game. Can you guess the thread titles from my responses? Grin
