It’s driving me bonkers today how many people are posting without actually having read the opening post and then subsequent follow up posts before they then post something which is either clearly in the opening post or has been dealt with by the original poster later.

If everyone read the ironing posts and follow ups BEFORE posting it would save so much time and some posters would feel less attacked when they’re asking for help!

Apologies but it’s driving me barmy!

Someone else getting their knickers in a twist 😀

Ironing?

Ironing?

I’d rather stay twisted than do ironing

I have no intention of reading any ironing posts at all.

ReneBumsWombats · 15/03/2023 13:11

Or if not the full thread, at least OP's posts.

@Lackersknackers - totally with you on this.

Lackersknackers · 15/03/2023 13:15

I’ve only just seen the typo about ironing - thought people were referring to my twisted knickers!

Just cancel the cheque.

Retortsit · 15/03/2023 13:16

Comprehension on here is generally terrible. Someone will say something clearly like ‘DS is 3 and …’ first post will still be ‘how old is DS?’ Drives me mad.

Rinkydinkydoodle · 15/03/2023 13:16

cancel the cheque 😝

DaisyBoop · 15/03/2023 13:17

Yeah, it’s so annoying. It only takes one person getting a fundamental fact wrong 25 pages earlier and then the poor OP is getting battered because each of the next posters is putting their spin on that wrong fact.

mackthepony · 15/03/2023 13:17

Just can't get worked up about it

DaisyBoop · 15/03/2023 13:18

*Having only read back two or three posts, I should say.

DerekFaker · 15/03/2023 13:19

YANBU.

Then don’t comment if you won’t read all the OPs posts properly. You don’t have to read every single post but the OPs posts and updates you should read.

Anyone who thinks the world deserves their opinion should at least base that opinion on what’s been said.

Topseyt123 · 15/03/2023 13:31

I agree. It is very frustrating and calls people's reading and comprehension skills into question.

I've seen plenty asking a question for which the answer is there loud and proud in the OP.

BlackeyedSusan · 15/03/2023 13:32

Yabu, you need to cancel the cheque.

Paturday · 15/03/2023 13:32

You mean read OP’s posts, I assume, having read your follow up posts.

Comprehension on here is getting worse and worse but equally so are people’s storytelling and explanation skills.

Basically the site is going to shit 🤣

BlackeyedSusan · 15/03/2023 13:32

Because nobody else on a full thread would have thought of it before me, such an original idea...
