    The most scummiest thing I've ever seen was some guy eating a breakfast roll on Dame Street a few weekends ago. Myself and my fellow ladyboys were so disgusted that we had to get the cocks out even though we were travelling at great speed in a horse & carriage.

    This had me in tears of laughter when I first read it!

    When a mod cuts off a discussion for pre-emptive reasons.

    "you wouldnt name you baby Paul, thats so mean, i hate you, my name is Paul :mad: internet friendship over"

    Thorbarry is a pretty terrible name for a baby.

    It's like somebody called Barry lives with chronic pain and has a speech impediment. Tragic stuff.

    People who misspell wary as weary. Its done so often and really annoys me.
    A quick search of the word 'weary' reveals just how prolific it's misuse is!

    Thanks for the reply. Ya i got a good pair of shorts from the local bike shop so no worries there. I will check out the website you mention but i am always weary of ordering items of clothing online.

    For those who are still unsure:

    wary
    watchful; being on one's guard against danger.

    weary
    physically or mentally exhausted by hard work, exertion, strain, etc.; fatigued; tired.

    People who put abbreviations in their posts that they just made up!!! And then I go and waste countless minutes on Google trying to find out what they're on about. IRGMG!
    My problem is that I care too much...

    People who characterise some subset of society as being 'elites.' Hyperbole in general.


    Woah. I've just discovered that you can change the size of the quickreply box. This makes up for the above complaints.

    * People who thank silly posts just because other people did, and it's usually only a half witty response//The need to say something funny immediately to get lots of thanks [merged these two as they are similar!]

    * The insensitivity of some posters about serious topics - just because it's posted in AH doesn't always require the expected smart ass comments.

    * The way some people argue their point - yes it's very easy to be insulting and hypocritical about things when you're typing in front of a computer screen, but it doesn't mean you're being particularly clever. However you will probably get lots of thanks [see point 1]

    * The OTT modding/warning [see aforementioned examples in other posts].

    I dislike it when mods act unprofessional, they let personal feelings influence moderating decisions, they actively "seek out" so-called troublesome posters, pick apart a posting to look for faults to issue a warning or a ban.

    It's like there *waiting* for you to say something so they can ban your ass!

    When people act all tough on the internet. "If I was in that position I probably would have punched the chap".

    When in reality they probably would have ignored it, looked away and whinged about it on an internet forum later.
