When a thread has a seemingly innocuous title and runs into hundreds of posts, who else clicks on it just to see how it’s kicked off?

[AlternativePerspective]

Have seen what appear to be completely innocent thread titles, with hundreds and hundreds of posts.And my first thought is almost always “ah, hundreds of posts, bet it’s kicked off,” and then I look at the last page first.

Am I the only one?

Ha ha I do this too!

🙋🏻‍♀️ Me, I do too

Guilty ...

How dare you!

Yes! Except sometimes it hasn’t actually kicked off and there are 27 pages of suggestions of what to get from the Chinese takeaway

@ ChocBeforeCock

Me! And then I read the last page first wondering how on earth it’s gone on so long and it’s posters arguing with each other about nothing to do with the actual subject matter

I did that with the teaspoon rest one and it made my day

Definitely I didn't look at the teaspoon rest one though, did that kick off??

I don’t click on it, but often think how the fuck can that thread still be going?

Hahahaha guilty as charged!
And if I see MNHQ has commented, even better.

Yup. And when I click on a post with a preposterously long opening post, I scroll to the first reply to see if it's worth reading.

No it didn't kick off. I thought it had which is why I opened it but it was a lovely thread (after everyone got past the 'why on earth do you need a teaspoon rest?' stage). A poster volunteed to make one for the OP and then everyone was saying they wanted them.

Or volunteered even - on second glass of wine

And if I see MNHQ has commented, even better. oh God yes. And then I click on that to see what they’ve commented before reading. [grin[

Sometimes I’ll read the first few posts and then jump to the last page just to see how ridiculously off topic it’s become

But then if MNHQ say “we have deleted a number of personal attacks” I think ah shit, I missed all the fun

Hahahahahaha!

Then I do a trawel of previous posts to see if anyone has quoted the banned ones and they've slipped through the MNHQ net.

Yes, yes and abso-bloomin'-lutely

But I do tend to read at least the first page before jumping to the end. Or do the "see all" and go down to where the OP's comment makes it obvious that something's occurring
