hate when people say ‘this’?

[TipsyLemonCritic]

It’s like nails on a chalkboard for me. I get that people use it to agree, but can’t they just say why they agree or add something to the conversation? ‘“this” feels lazy, like they can’t be bothered to type more than four characters. Maybe I’m overreacting, but I think it kills discussion. Anyone else find this annoying, or am I being petty?

This with bells on! 🙄🙄🙄🙄 Annoying!!!

This.

🤭🤭🤭 op, it's just not a big enough deal tbh, sometimes you just agree completely with what someone has written

I find it much more irritating to see hundreds of posts saying exactly the same thing. It is as if they don’t even read the previous posts

This!
But not unless the word is followed by an exclamation mark (since we're talking petty prefrrences).

Is it preferable to 'couldn't have put it better myself'? Because that's exactly what it means. Why rehash the same points over and over when someone has kindly expressed it succinctly?

nope,

This.

I'm far more riled by red flag expression creep. More red flags than a Communist rally etc, I'd be happy to see that one die a quiet death.

Everyone writing "for context" before the context is even more annoying.

Good I’m glad to hear it. Because it certainly came across as very sarcastic.

This. 😉

It’s on mumsnet a lot!

This comment was very aggressive in response to what @TipsyLemonCritic said.

I agree with OP, ‘this’ as a response is lazy and jumping on some bandwagon of other annoying ‘THISSERS’

If they have nothing to add, they can just press the thanks button and not say anything. We don't need threads clogged up with quotes and THIS over and over, just press the thanks buttons and don't post!

This ⬆️

It doesn't annoy me half as much as "first reply nailed it". or "someone will come on in a minute to say ..."

Exactly this.

And you certainly come across as very condescending. It’s interesting that you’re quick to call me out for asking if a commenter is okay, yet you have nothing to say about her very aggressive comment in response to my post.

However "this boy/girl/furbaby" as a comment to a photo is annoying and pointless. Yeah what about them? Yes I know this boy/ girl is your beloved offspring (I hope the furbaby isn't )

👏👏👏

You could have an argument in an empty room.

This.

It’s a way to place mark without reiterating what’s already been said, so it doesn’t bother me. It usually means the person has actually read the thread.

^This!

I use 'this' often. If someone's already pretty much exactly said what I think, I'm not going to spend time writing up pretty much the same thing (unless I really want to)!

I would do that too.

Oooops wrong thread!
