AAAArrrggggggggggggggggghhh!

Right, sorry, move along now, have screamed and got it off chest. Actually it is mainly one particular poster who is irritating me with saccharine tweeness.

Not me is it? I really don't like the use of smiley faces. For some reason I think of my dd who is eight when I read posts with multiple etc's in them

cluckyduck · 09/03/2010 07:47

i find these

ones very frustrating

i need punctuation and capitals to function

bigbobblehat · 09/03/2010 07:47

are they saying hun a lot? Maybe they have crept over from a pushchair thread.

ManyTimesAnHour · 09/03/2010 07:48

no its not you and it isn't smiley faces or 'hun's although those annoy too (am just miserable pedantic killjoy really)

namechangers

annoy

me

so

there

ManyTimesAnHour · 09/03/2010 07:49

I'm not going to say what it is though, because it is one poster only who does it so it would be immediately obvious and a bit mean.

my own posts are annoying me atm as dd spilled ribena on the keyboard so can't use all the punctuation keys or capital letters unless do caps lock grr..

bigbobblehat · 09/03/2010 07:58

so if we searched threads you're on, we might find them?

MmeLindt · 09/03/2010 07:58

YANBU

Is it not me is it?

GibbonInARibbon · 09/03/2010 08:00

And you felt the need to start a thread about this?

specialsmasher · 09/03/2010 08:00

bitchy?

bigbobblehat · 09/03/2010 08:02

do you want me to scratch that for you mme?

cocolepew · 09/03/2010 08:03

It's me isn't it? I'm tying hard to reign in the tweeness, I'm just so nice

Northernlurker · 09/03/2010 08:07

So you've started a thread to complain about what you acknowledge is only one person's posts? And you think it would be naming them that would make you seem mean?

Get a grip please.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 09/03/2010 08:09

YABU
if someone annoys you turn off the PC for a while.

YouCantTeuchThis · 09/03/2010 08:10

Is it just me or is this thread a bit 'bike sheds'?

You know, when someone starts the bitching by stealth, knowing full well that someone else will identify the victim for them...hmm.

Ignore, ignore, ignore!

EllieMental · 09/03/2010 08:12

perhaps you need some vit b to control that irritability and rebalance your hormones?

DaftApeth · 09/03/2010 08:14

Rather an odd, bitchy thread to start

CrowAndAlice · 09/03/2010 08:16

Agree Teuch - folks'll come on and say its xxxx isn't it because she does this or that.

Nasty.

blinder · 09/03/2010 08:16

Awwww bless ((((hugs))))) Hun

hope that hasn't tipped you over the edge

don't these threads crop up from time to time, ending in the OP naming the person, expecting mass agreement but actually looking like the school bully meanie? Give it up. If it's me , take care sweetie

RubyBuckleberry · 09/03/2010 08:25

this is the MN darkside

Ewe · 09/03/2010 08:28

YANBU to think it, YABU to post though.

specialsmasher · 09/03/2010 08:33

I've got to say I agree with Lady Radiator. I bet you leave posts like 'just finished the housework - phew!' on your facebook page. I know your sort.
