    Some people are annoying, but it's nothing more than a momentary mental "oh would you just shut up already" and then I forget about two seconds later.

    Don't see the point in dwelling or getting angry though.

    What a really annoying thing to say.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    I see some posters names on the front page.

    For politics threads anyway I see their name and the thread title and I already know what they have posted.
    Same stuff every single time, usually full of rage

    I try to read most places here, chip in a comment sometimes.

    There are good few posters that seem to read one forum only, fair enough but you do they only have one opinion on small area? And spend years and years on boards and post the same opinion on every thread?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 287 ✭✭Melange


    Not annoyed at all. I can't understand how people could get riled up by other posters, as communicating with someone online is so vastly different to real life. It's inherently far less personal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,582 ✭✭✭✭TheZohanS


    Normally don't get annoyed...except when I see another "internet guys or girls" making a mockery of other "internet guys or girl".

    Full raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage mode then...turn green, shirt gets ripped and my three piece suit turns into denim cut-off jeans.

    I got very, very annoyed - once.

    The lad doesn't post here anymore - another true story :D

    Oh, I clicked on the 'hunt them down' option - because I did!.

    some opinions don't so much annoy me, they disappoint me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    I do get annoyed at some people at times. But i never show it. I just bury it deep down, till one day i'm gonna blow.
    :D

    I get annoyed at myself sometimes ,for using boards so much.:o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,271 ✭✭✭✭johngalway


    No point in getting annoyed. Getting even is much more fun :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,440 ✭✭✭The Aussie


    I only get annoyed when someone takes a grudge/disagreement from one thread to the next, what ever goes on in the thread stays on the thread dude.
    other than that i just have a giggle and send back a half smart response...

    A lot of keyboard warriors here though with no concept of real life

    Oh if I were a police sharpshooter in Northumbria I'd have shot the gun from his hand from my skills at Call of Duty :rolleyes:

    there is only 1 poster on here that really freaking annoys me, the rest are fine and although there opinions may differ they often have a valid point unlike this certain idiot.

    And other thing, my last rant I promise :)

    You start a thread on Bus Eireann or the trains or the trams or public service or anything. Generally just asking a question

    And the usual suspects start " here in Germany we never have that problem, we have......"
    Every single time and for different countries and all they do is knock Ireland from the outside, don't even live here. Stay in your paradise so

    So there is a poster who constantly does this and I don't think they can help with a thread on Bus Eireann from Berlin.

    Not annoyed, just laughter, evil laughter at times but laughter.

    There's only a few forums I use all the time and I dip in and out of the rest. Probably most people are like that though, doesn't mean I lack opinion, just not argumentative enough to be fighting lost causes against subjects I don't agree with.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    The vast majority I don't mind, but the odd one or two have got on my wick badly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,104 ✭✭✭moonflower


    Normally I just ignore it if someone is disagreeing with me, we are all entitled to our opinions afterall. There are two or three posters that annoy the hell out of me though. I try to ignore them but sometimes I just can't resist taking the piss out of them a little. Even if they don't notice I feel like I've achieved something.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Overal nobody really although there are one or two who seem so harsh and opininated on everything , like they are just waiting to pounce on somebody

    Pretty much sums it up for me me to


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    It's certain views that irritate me (not simply because I disagree with them, but because I find them abhorrent, e.g. "Most women are gold-diggers"; I have no problem whatsoever with someone disagreeing with me) moreso than certain individuals. Most individuals here are grand, bar a tiny few.

    There is a handful of pretty nasty bullies on Boards though who harass people - amazing they're not all sitebanned.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,234 ✭✭✭thetonynator


    Just stick them on the ignore list . . .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    There are a couple of posters i don't like because they are generally assholes. Most people on here are fine though tbh.

    I dont get annoyed really, sure I take the mickey a lot of the time so I'd be a hypocrite if I got annoyed at other posters.

    It's not that I get annoyed because people don't agree with me lol, (:mad:....:pac:), it's that a large number of people are so bigoted, hateful, and small-minded that it makes me sick.

    There are of course also many people who are thought-provoking, kind, and generally enlightened; if there weren't, boards wouldn't be worth going to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,073 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm more Annoyer than Annoyed - probably because I don't take any of this at all seriously. :p

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    If I genuinely get annoyed by another poster (which is very rare); I generally rant at them in my head, and make a sarcastic, passive-aggressive reply to them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,227 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    When someone says that they just sit back and laugh it all away, it generally means that they've already found out where you live, and are just checking the detonators.

    i have great time for most posters here, though there is one that annoys me, not too much but a bit, mostly because he's a complete tool and would argue that dogs are cats if he had a grudge against them. :rolleyes:
    he's not here though...

    The people that annoy me are those who read a post of mine, then somehow manage to completely misrepresent what I typed even as they're quoting it back to me as part of their response. Which usually means that three pages later, instead of arguing the point, I'm still trying to trying to correct their misapprehension. As a certain Peter Griffin might say, it really grinds my gears...

    It can drag out a small difference of opinion... they just completely disagree with your presentation of facts despite the authenticity of those facts. Classic strawdog strategy.

    Some good, bad, terrible posters and some who are very annoying, I can imagine some of these annoying ones who sit at the computer day and night... Trawling through posts just to post an annoying reply to someone for their posts, then you have a posse of posters who follow each other from post to post agreeing on all their comments and slagging off others.

    Some of these creatures use abrupt language and treat other posters as aliens th the treads.. If a poster has say 1000 posts up, they seem to think they hold authority over a poster with a smaller amount of posts....

    Anyone with an attitude to other posters should be reported for some comments, keep it friendly guys! it's all a bit of fun... Well there's my two bobs worth

    With any use of the 'rolleyes'. Instant tosser-branding, made twice as effective since i read on my phone and get the actual 'rolleyes' text. Usually the poster is being a consistent arse throughout the thread with the rolleyes adding a blazing banner of toss to their post.

    Actually, having reconsidered, I don't get annoyed. I do brand people as twats though.

    Mainly those who take themselves and the internet very seriously. Thankfully AH is, for the most part, lacking in serious people.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,390 ✭✭✭IM0


    depends if its AH or not, I usually dont take anything in here seriously or not, actually I need to be REALLY bored to come in here at all!
