annoyance poll - Be Nice
Posted: May 28, 2014
What annoys you most on posts? Not just here, but anywhere on the Internet? For some reason, it annoys the heck out of me what someone ends a post with *sigh* but *LOL* doesn't bother me in the least. I don't know why.
HA. Those two don't bother me, - but
[ In Reply To ..]what I find annoying is "just sayin'"
For some reason... - sm
[ In Reply To ..]it annoys the heck out of me when someone ends a post with "be nice." I'm the sigher from below. Sorry to have irked you.
haha - Be Nice
[ In Reply To ..]You got me! You made me laugh, so sigh away. :-)
: ) - glad I made you laugh
[ In Reply To ..]
Ending a post with - xxxx
[ In Reply To ..]"LOL" drives me crazy. It makes me think the person posting thinks they're hilarious and usually they're not funny in the least.
Also, starting a post with "So," is one of my pet peeves as well.
Oops. That would be me. - Sorry
[ In Reply To ..]I usually post on here or anything online as to how I speak in person, so I say a lot of "so yeah anyway"
I must annoy the heck out of people!
LOL (sorry, I had to).
Polls. - Polls annoy me
[ In Reply To ..]Lol! Just sayin...*sigh*
teehee - sm
[ In Reply To ..]actually teehee (or tehe) annoys me, but I just had to teehee your post, too funny!
Oh! Teehee! - Forgot about that one
[ In Reply To ..]That bugs me more than the ones that start "Ummmmmm"
How about ending with "Just sayin'?" - s/m
[ In Reply To ..]It's like they know they're posting something that will rub everyone the wrong way, or at the very least the person whose post they're responding to. Like it somehow lets them off the hook for saying it.
*giggle* - annoys me
[ In Reply To ..]don't know why, but it just sounds childish.
Sweeping generalizations against any group. sm - Feather Tuscadero
[ In Reply To ..]I also get overwhelming annoyed at your/you're and there/they're/their errors. Just saw a post that said "There here!" when it should have been "they're here!" arrrgghhhhh.
Not for here, but on facebook - i really hate
[ In Reply To ..]when people post cryptic messages and when someone asks for clarification they get nothing. Like when someone posts something like "feeling so upset right now" and someone asks "what's wrong" and either get "nothing" or no answer at all.
AGREED!! Attention begging at its worst! sm - Feather Tuscadero
[ In Reply To ..]Or when they "check in" at an ER or urgent care but don't say why, despite 30 or more "what's happened??" comments.
i hate that too!! gr!! i have several people in my feed - pbj
[ In Reply To ..]that do that!!
I'm tired of people on FB that are rich enough - to eat out frequently, and they - sm
[ In Reply To ..]feel it necessary to post a gorgeous, high-def, foodie-magazine-worthy photo of what they're having for lunch at Spago's or dinner at Top of The Mark, and I'm sitting here in front of my computer eating peanut butter with a spoon.
Totally agree....like FML posts - thirsty much? n/m
[ In Reply To ..]Grrr
That is definitely my biggest FB petpeeve. It is what is known as - sm
[ In Reply To ..]vaguebooking! Very irritating. I ignore those posts.
Ppl who can't spel. - SayItGirl
[ In Reply To ..]
I mispell all the time, but since these are not medical records - I dont correct - on purpose
[ In Reply To ..]Sorry to irk you but that's how I feel.
You're not sorry if you do it on purpose. nm - passive
[ In Reply To ..]Duh
Okay, let me restate that for correctness sake - I dont correct - on purpose
[ In Reply To ..]I didn't mean sorry as in please forgive me. Actually not sure of the correct word to use. I guess I should have written this instead:
I misspell words all the time, not always on purpose, but typing so fast mistakes are made. Since this is not an official medical record, and I'm not being grade by QA on my messages here, this is my rebellion and I'm not going to go back and read my message again just to make a complete stranger happy that I don't misspell a word or two because they are so anal they have to have every post without error. I'm not sorry about it and if you don't like it that's tough and something you will have to get over.
There is that better? LOL
The only problem with spelling is being on smart - with auto correct. usually its
[ In Reply To ..]Noticed by poster till to late. I post on smart phone and it can be a total pain at times.
meant to say being on smart phone. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]
Text speak for lack of a better term - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Butchering the English language. It's not r u, it is are you.
Folks who post nothing but links to political - articles on the Politics board.
[ In Reply To ..]It's gotten pretty old. And I remember someone in the past that kept posting links with computer viruses in them.
my annoyances - sm
[ In Reply To ..]1. When someone writes "truthfully", but then it's not the truth.
2. When someone tries to ridicule you and tell you you're wearing a tin foil hat.
3. When someone writes "The truth of the matter is", but then follows it with something that is not true.
4. When someone signs something seriously, but then with what they wrote I want to write back "seriously? you believe that?
5. When people tell you your sources are not credible.
6. When people tell you your sources are not credible then follows with an article from someone they feel is credible, but really is not.
7. When posters call out other posters.
8. When the gang up mentality shows up and they all try and put down someone else.
Those are all I can think of right now.
no offense but 1 and 3 are the same. Wondering, - with all that, how you get through a day? NM
[ In Reply To ..](with your sanity intact)
Starting a comment with "no offense, but..." nm - You totally know you are being offensive.
[ In Reply To ..]nm
no, I'm saying I mean no harm to her so don't panty bunch. - as in grain of salt. KAY?
[ In Reply To ..]No problem until you make it one.
You must be visiting the politics board... - you just described it to a T.
[ In Reply To ..]
criticizing - nitpicks
[ In Reply To ..]..criticizing people and putting super short post replies that don't make sense just so they can say something negative and belittle someone but don't help at all. It's so easy to find fault but you may not know all the details or what that person is going through.
which is exactly why picking on grammar is PETTY! - thelaststraw
[ In Reply To ..]have a child diagnosed with cancer, a husband who has just lost a job, and a mom in a nursing home with Alzheimer's and then talk to me about being "annoyed"..petty bullshit
Congrats - written or spoken
[ In Reply To ..]That half-word grinds a nerve.
I can't stand the word "sustainable" anymore. - overused
[ In Reply To ..]Has nothing to do with this board or posting but that is my #1 annoyance lately.

Is it Vista, XP or Windows 7? 3. Are you having problems with 6.1 being slow? I guess I'm hoping to hear that my computer will ru ...

I'll start: 11-15 years of experience. 0.0825 regular/ 0.0465 SR. For me, this is a pay cut recently. I was working at a different company until recently, making .09 regular and .05. Even though I know this MT thing is going down, it still suck ...

There are times I do enjoy the work. However, I have a few failed audits, performance management for lines, and NJA, so lately not too thrilled. I just wish it would get better. Sometimes I too would like to quit, but just keep plugging along. For me, at least it is some income adding to the pot, and that is a blessing. I often wonder would I save more money not working-dinner out due to no time to cook, lunch out due to no time for grocery store-you know the drill. Anyhow, trying to have ...

The majority however is completely messed up, double numbers, wrong medications, etc. I can't believe what a piece of work voice wRECk is?! When I see the advert ...
