Struggling not to post snarky response!

AIBU to find posts lie this on FB intensely irritating...
"Hi laydees,
So I wanna get a facial . Don’t go to salons other than for hair . So any recommendations for a reasonably priced (but good obv) I’m town centre plz".
Post is on local FB group. Struggling not to post snarky response! "
Perhaps I'm just a grumpy old fart.... However, a momentary distraction from my current addiction to Corona updates and stockpiling threads.

I must be missing something, why would you want/need to post snarky response?

Pinkginhelps · 05/03/2020 17:48

I also can't see the problem!

You on glue?

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 05/03/2020 17:49

I'm missing it too. Someone posts on a local facebook group asking for recommendations for a local business 🤷‍♀️ why would it need a snarky response?

Pinkginhelps · 05/03/2020 17:49

Exactly...I think I'm just being a grumpy old woman...but I really want to. Although there is no need to. But, I can't help feeling irritated by the post.

Please never request recommendations for yourself for anything then.

theschoolonthehill · 05/03/2020 17:49

The spellings are irritating but I don’t know why you would feel such need to post a mean response. Just keep scrolling....,,

LemonDropChilli · 05/03/2020 17:50

Do you mean you have a problem with the spelling and grammar? Or with them asking for a recommendation?

Delbelleber · 05/03/2020 17:50

Maybe the laydees bit

WaterOffADucksCrack · 05/03/2020 17:50

Are you feeling ok?

U ok him?

Likethebattle · 05/03/2020 17:52

Erm what now?

Doggybiccys · 05/03/2020 17:53

lol @JasonBrun. Auto correct fail!

YABU to let it bother you so much OP.

Pinkginhelps · 05/03/2020 17:57

@Cacaca ...I'll try not to. However, If I do ever feel the need to ask for recommendations on FB, I will refrain from addressing groups of women as "laydeez" and will definitely not use "wanna" . I'd run the risk of irritating myself even if no one else.

I'm struggling not to post a snarky response to this stupid post OP.

We must be the same age OP Grin

myusernamewastakenbyme · 05/03/2020 18:03

The 'laydees' bit would annoy me too Op.

Bluntness100 · 05/03/2020 18:05

So you’re annoyed because of the spag? Why not just start a thread saying slang or abbreviated words annoy you?

ImportantWater · 05/03/2020 18:05

I am a massive pedant and a bit of a snob, refuse to put kisses on texts or use lol, but even I would not be annoyed by that post, given the context and the absolute ubiquity of that kind of writing on social media.

PersonaNonGarter · 05/03/2020 18:07

YANBU

LambriniSocialist · 05/03/2020 18:07

Another one struggling to see the problem here!

pictish · 05/03/2020 18:08

Ehhh...ok. If you’re struggling, don’t post a snarky response, no. It’s really not the sort of thing to be snarky to a stranger about. It’s harmless and none of your concern.
