Pet Peeves on message boards
What drives you crazy about message boards?
1.) I hate when people introduce themselves and then you never hear from them again. What is the point of that?
2.) I dont like it when people post pics of their kids with food all of their face. I guess I am talking about those typical pics of the kid eating their first birthday cake. Not cute!
3.) I find it annoying when people ask for advice but never come back with an update.
What do you hate? Or what annoys you?
Re: Pet Peeves on message boards
Adults who type like teenagers on Facebook. Are they really that lazy that they can't type full words? If so, I'm too lazy to read their posts.

2010 Race PRs:
5K - 24:57 10M - 1:28:20 13.1M - 1:57:29 26.2M - 4:28:29
Multiple siggys to tell me 4 times that the poster is pregnant. Large pictures of any kind, but yes, babies eating food makes me dry-retch a little too.
The worst is way too much information on the poster's inability to conceive. I don't need to hear about low sperm count every time you post. Much like I'm sure no one wants to read about the general state of health of my hoo-hoo either.
* People who type in text speak
* Huge siggy pics & multiple counters
Do tell who you're talking about.
Its not that difficult to work out.
Really? Cause I have no clue.
starts with a K end with a Y?
Alright Em, I'll come out and say it! Its you!! jk
my pet peeve would be the ppl who post a question but never follow up or anything. For the most part, as long as people are relatively nice and it doesn't become an all-out b!tchfest, I am alright with almost everything.
And I was going to tell you who it was... now the suspense will have to kill you (insert evil laugh)
haha Sure you were!
K and Y? I cant remember a nestie that begins with K
Check your PM's.
Knitty. They're talking about Knitty. She's annoying as crap and tends to have a "I know better than you on EVERY.SINGLE.SUBJECT.IN.LIFE" attitude, which gets a lot of people up in arms. I tend to ignore her for the most part, but sometimes even she can up and shock me.
I hate it when someone posts a link, but I can't see it because my windows explorer does something weird with the scroll bar. Cheeses me off.
I think we can all figure this one out.
It kills me when people put no information in their subject line.
"I have a question."
"Do you know if..."
"Why is it that..."
I just won't open those posts anymore unless there are lots of responses. It's just a waste of everybody's time.
And then there are always the people who just post to complain about their lives, and who never ever have anything to say that's not negative in some way. There isn't one on this board that I've noticed, but on other boards.
Haha. I do this all the time. Sorry!
me too!
This, definitely. Drives me crazy!
2012 Reading Challenge
This, but also the people who put the wrong information in their subject line. Like "If you're in Europe, come in" and then the post is specifically about Rome. Or "breastfeeding help" and it's about exclusively pumping.
Or you gotta love the ones that obviously didn't read one single post here before posting. Like the last three topics are "I just moved to London," "London GTG this weekend," and "I found chocolate chips in London!" and someone posts "Anyone in London?!?!?!?!?!?!?" I at least skim titles before I post on a new board, yk?
Oh, and excessive punctuation. There's a woman on another board I go to that is SO ENTHUSIASTIC!!!!!!!! ABOUT EEEEEEVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O! M! G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
