That it really annoys me when OP is asked a question and doesn't answer it?

[Hahaha88]

For example, I still don't know what a gog botherer is, I have googled it, Google thinks I meant god botherer. I neeeeeeed to know! People have asked numerous times and OP just ignores it. I've seen similar on other threads, where people are asking for charity or further info and OP still posts but ignores these requests. Please tell me it's not me BU and that it's really annoying?!

Sounds like a typo and OP isn't answering because people are taking the piss.

Gog is short for goggles presumably - the OP presumably made the phrase up.

I guess she could have meant gog wearer?

Only on Mumsnet have I heard glasses referred to as Gogs. Really don't understand why wearing glasses can be a source of amusement...

I've heard eyes being referred to Gogs before. I'm in Scotland. I find it a pretty rude way to describe glasses.

What I hate is when people don’t read the op and ask questions where the answer is clearly in the op.
Op: blah blah blah, we have two children 4 and 8 years old blah blah...
Questions:
Do you have children?
How old are your children?

Drives me nuts.

I would assume it was 'god botherer' and was a typo

Alternatively if I hear someone talk about Gogs then I would assume they were talking about North Walians

People ask ridiculous probing questions that could easily put them and are irrelevant to the OP.

That’s why they don’t answer them.

*out

I still think it's meant to be GOD bothered. OP said she was but never went back, I assumed she meant to church. Can't quite match that up with the glasses shite though

Gog to me is short form for gollywog so I was already irritated just from reading the thread title of that one ;)

It was probably deliberate to get people talking, recommend for classics and bang on forever more like that snapped and farted bollocks.

I agree with @PooleySpooley

I think YABU

specific to this part of the world, but it could be Gog botherer. People from North Wales are sometimes referred to as Gogs (it could come from the Welsh for North which is Gogledd?). I doubt there'd be a phrase for annoying/bothering a certain group of people, but who am I to say, there may well be.

I've never heard glasses referred to as gogs or goggles - unless someone is drunk and then you could say they are wearing beer goggles.

I think she was trying to be funny mocking her glasses wearing family and labelling them as gog followers.

It annoys me when people answer an OPs question or give an opinion and the OP never comes back, not even to say thanks. Sometimes the thread is a few pages of comments, I feel like people have spent their time answering it's just courtesy to not disappear into thin air.

LMAO! I am here because I googled ‘gog botherer’

I clicked the no no google, I did mean gog not god... button.

Ah well, guess she meant goggle wearer...

I'm in Wales and never heard of a gog. That lady who said gog botherer has made that saying up to refer to someone who wears glasses. When she said she never went back she was referring to the opticians. She said something about needing glasses herself, but she hadn't gone back.

The op in that case did address the question at some point in the thread. I remember reading that when she first got to know her dh he referred to himself as a gog botherer (wearer of glasses).

I read that where she broke her dh’s glasses. Context clearly showed it meant glasses wearers.

I do think it's annoying we can't reply directly to a poster with quoted text displayed if that makes sense.

You can @ the person but it's not as easy to keep track and tabs of where you've been and which people / posts are being given further replies.

So can't really answer your question but think it's maybe easy to just miss what people post unless you're watching and glued like a bitch to who is saying what.

@Fluffyears. Oh yes I agree with that too. Or when people comment based only on the OP despite several other messages from the OPer which usually answer whatever they are now Asking

@PooleySpooley I appreciate this might be the case in some circumstances and it makes sense then not to reply x

@origamiunicorn oops it's taken me a few days to come back to this!!

@flowergrrl77 I to clicked that button, I know Google it doesn't seem right but this time it's not just my inability to spell lol
