Little things that piss you off big time on forums.

Another one I notice on GAF is the immediate dismissal of junior members. Sometimes one poorly thought out post by one can lead to half a page of callouts.

That's the best part. You gotta take your lumps. You aren't even a junior all that long unless you never post.
 
it's because you have to have a non-free email to get an account here, which leads to people to believe that they're Extremely Important for being able to post here.

it's a form of hazing which, while probably necessary at a forum this size, creates some kind of illogical hierarchy based on Tags and established status rather than content or quality of posts.
 
Forum trolls that fly just low enough under the radar to not get banned.

Not so much here, but some of the other forums I've been on.

I hate how this forum is so up it's own ass.

"you gotta take your lumps"... what a fucking joke.
 
The people who turn every thread into a political or religious issue.

The people who insult anyone who's opinion differs from their's.

Also people who turn threads into Europe v. America. Like in the Amanda Knox thread someone had to chime in, "It's a good thing Europe doesn't have the death penalty!" As if in America we take people right from the courtroom and the guilty verdict to the chair.

Haha. Look at you, trying to defend -- I don't know, what is it? Laziness? Your hip Internet persona of junior junior member?

I like to think I bring enlightening conversation to any thread I appear in.

Honestly, I've never called someone out on being a junior unless I was utilizing it for comedic effect. Like calling out Puddles. Yes, he's been here for a while, pointing out someones noob status is... well just idiotic.

It's a completely ineffectual way to create a nice working environment. One day... one day!

This forum will be a tome of our collective knowledge. That in the age after the cracking of the atom, we still worry about penis size, and have little to no understanding of the opposite sex.
 
People who live in incredibly fragile glass houses, yet insist on throwing many stones.

You know who you are.

But Puddles is one of the very worst posters on GAF, so that's okay.

Man...

If my house was made out of glass my neighbors could see me masturbate.

As it stands I can still hide what I call "the noodle" behind one of the cage bars and get away with it.

People that make posts. No, I'm just kidding. I agree with this post. I think that if you get pissed off by (most) things in general on the net you need to revaluate your life.
 
circlepissing. Some people like to think that there is only circlejerking going on. GET ON BOARD THE GAF HATE TRAIN threads are just as annoying.

Yeah, but they seem to lead to an abundance of grays.
 
Errors with your and you're.

People who type in all lower-case letters and/or don't use punctuation. (I'm looking at you blame space!! lol)

Birthday threads.

Threads which ask questions that can be resolved with only one answer and then are completely pointless. (i.e. "Do I need to buy a ticket to get on a train?" Answer: "Yes" /thread, what is the point?)

Posting only the word "this" as a way of agreeing with someone's post. Even worse is the offender who just posts a fucking period. Fuck you if you just quote someone and say "." You are worthless to the forums.

Ahhh I feel better now, I <3 this thread. :)
 
The fact that every music thread is nothing but pictures. Or, worse, big-ass lists of pics. Or even worse, big-ass lists of pics without any artists or album titles mentioned.

The idea is to talk about music, not to dominate the conversation with semi-cryptic wallpaper sized pics.

But how else would I appear minimalist and high brow?

Just part of a running gag I have going with myself.

Part of my line of meta jokes only I can understand because my brain werks differnt.

Seriously though, I don't think we talk about blow jobs enough anymore. They're applicable under almost any situation. Death in the family? Blow Job! Cancer? Blow Job! Blow Job? Blow Job!

And hey!

Lay off my partially retarded Ninja Turtle. He tries damn it! Just like ShockingAlberto laughing at the kid with scoliosis. I can't abide it.
 
Oh, I also hate it when people post the ENTIRE set of lyrics to a song which may/may not be relevant to the topic at hand.

I never read the lyrics, I catch one line and see "ahh, I get it...harr harr" and that's it. Yet I have to scroll through half a page to get past the 83 lines of text.

They completely screw up their point anyway because I'm easily sidetracked and instead of reading their post I just go and listen to music.

I hate when people do this on Facebook.
 
Holy shit 100 post count per page and it's flooded with some monkey jabroni and turtle roody-poo. Now that pisses me off.
 
Music threads. I share the same grievances as UFRA as far as they are concerned. Same for screenshots of movies, games, etc. -- names people! NAMES! ...I guess that's it. Not really. But I'll stop right here.
 
Quoting a large amount of images or just one big one without removing the img tags. Especially if it's the post right after the post with the pictures.
 
Oh. People who take every mention of Facebook to point out that they've never used Facebook or they deleted their Facebook account.

People that do this in real life bother me.

"OH YA. I don't use a Facebook. YUP."
