to wonder why people invest in threads titled 'sad. Sorry - long, or triggering'

[ElizabethHoover]

WHY would you want to post on a thread advertised already as SAD?
CHrist alive

I just can't help clicking on them.

But sometimes it's someone relating something really horrible which they have heard and wish they hadn't heard. Well thanks for sharing that one.

The ones that have a Thread 2 get hidden as soon as they pop up.

Man you are all heartless swines

They ones that run into multiple threads are usually about fake weddings or fake lifts to work.

empathy

try it one day

The ones that have a Thread 2 get hidden as soon as they pop up. or weird tv obsessing ones

so

ANY PLAYGROUND ONE

no way Jose walking on by

I don't see the point in putting 'Triggering' in the thread title, if you have to open it to find out what the trigger might be.

Totally daft not to give a clue in the title.

And god help us when the Special Royal baby number 2 is born.

I might ban myself from MN when that happens.

Support threads are fair enough though if someone is genuine.

It's the trolly creative writer ones that are harmful.

Yes I am answering this thread seriously. Oops.

I am now singing 'walk on by' by Dionne Warwick.

I don't 'invest' in threads generally. But, but when I was really struggling with something a few weeks back I was heartened by the lovely responses I got on here.

Twitter - not one bloody comment/mention when I mentioned what was happening.

So, i am trying to answer any threads when I may be able to offer some help as it did meant a lot to me on here.

I'm with you elizabeth no paragraphs and it's closed , also anything with lighthearted in

If you need to write that , then no , can't be arsed

No paragraphs really does hurt my eyes. Is that yet another age thing?

It's when the 'trigger' is something totally lame, like spiders.

Or someone was a bit down in the dumps.

I've seen a few threads recently where I thought what could possibly be triggering about that?

The 'long' ones in AIBU always makes me think that the OP knows they are being u, but are trying to justify it.

And people 'shaking' with anger.

It always seems to be involving PFBs, for some reason.

I'm triggered by TOO MANY CAPS, OP! You should have warned us.

sorry CB

Does anyone remember when you weren't allowed to even type spider on here?

You had to call them Loofahs or summat daft.

I was like WTF when I first joined.

Oh yeah, especially caps in a SERIOUS thread which are just used TO MAKE A POINT.

They are often used when shaking with anger.

Not now. If you are upset by mention of a spider now on here you'd be handed a grip and called pathetic

?I think there is a often a role for a 'thread assistant' who will read the OP and then re write it succinctly and with paragraphs ?

a long volley of 'he said she said' can be exhausting

Can't be bothered by no paragraphs too! Also the ones with faces at not being shown pictures of popped pimples or other disgusting stuff.

the emetophobes

lordy

I ROLL MY EYES at people who put DP to ' not offend anyone'

YOU OFFEND ME

Friend A , Friend B, and Friend C threads just confuse me.

I never reply to them.

SPIDER SPIDER

That's a thread Id avoid.
