    I find in really annoying when somebody looks for advice be it a personal/motoring/wedding/etc issue. When they receive the advice and posters tell them they are wrong/don't like the advice there given. They begin to attack the posters and they can't understand how there wong.

    Can you provide a link to prove that grass is green, because until you do, it is safe to presume that grass is in fact not green.

    That Cnut. He knows who he is.

    One Direction posters. Can't stand the sight of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,383 ✭✭✭✭Birneybau


    Hang in there kitty, that kind of sh!t.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Ones that make claims they can't back up then storm off thread in a huff leaving a wake of broken toys behind when someone calls them out on their nonsense, AH has a few regular ones.

    Oh and the classic "I'm not here to google things for you" when asked to provide a link backing up their claim.

    Multiquoters.
    They take every post on the thread, multiquote them, and boringly attack everyone. Any post with multiquotes is a thread killer. I never read the post of a multiquoter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,328 ✭✭✭karaokeman


    Mainly posters who assume they know other posters purely based on boards interactions and make sweeping generalizations because of it.

    Not so much that they annoy me, but there should be a warning on AH too for posters not to ask for advice here (PI exists for this reason) simply because of the backlash most receive when they do.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭gugleguy


    All posters on my ignore list. For derailing my post and excess snark.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,514 ✭✭✭bee06


    The ones who ask a question that they could have just googled.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 443 ✭✭Kh1993


    The homophobes who come into every thread with the word gay in it, and spout their 'won't someone think of the children' nonsense. And then throw a wobbler when they get called what they are.

    True, but then you wind up taking them off the list after a day or so when you realise you've forgotten why they're on the list. Happens to me a lot when I sober up.

    Whenever there is a thread about someone famous there's always some cúnt who plays the hipster card and posts something along the line of: "Who??", "Never heard of him" or "Are we supposed to know who this is???"

    It could be a thread entitled "Obama, Gay Byrne and Madonna Threeway" and some twat will pretend not to know who it's on about


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,388 ✭✭✭KingOfFairview


    Relentlessly negative ones, ones who immediately jump in on one side of a discussion and argue as if their lives depended on it without pausing for one second to consider the other side's POV, and peple with non sense of humour.

    Well, the first two are obvious. Which Madonna was in the threeway would be of interest especially to theologians.

    7 religions forums on boards and AH still clogged up with it

    Then he tells you that there is no need to cut the grass, as it cuts itself.

    Or people who are the first reply on a new thread and quote the entire post. Fine if you put part in bold or edit to the part you're replying to if it's a long post but just quoting the whole thing to give a short answer,grrrr.

    And now I'm going to check back and see if I've ever done that, I know what you feckers are like :pac:

    Yes. And managed nevertheless to post in a thread which should have no interest to them because they claim not to know who the famous person is. I have to restrain myself from saying "piss off and google it" and "wtf are you even doing here?"

    None.

    The day that something on the internet annoys you is the day to turn off the internet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    Those people who feel like they can have strong opinions which they are bound to without educating themselves on the topic, but whilst also expecting everyone else to educate them, oh and then they mistake the posters that recognised their stubbornness and simply got on with their life for 'leaving in a huff'.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 145 ✭✭emuhead


    People who post multiple threads asking for advice, don't thank posters who contribute, and never contribute themselves.

    Posters that mess up quotes :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,799 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia


    I hate posters who pretend that they are just ordinary people without an agenda, but their entire posting history is on one topic and they seem to pop up in every single thread that is ever started on that topic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,398 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    The ones who trawl twitter for news so they can post it first, then claim to have 'sources' as if they are some kind of journalist.

    The ones who quote a whole post and just repeat what it says adding nothing new.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 701 ✭✭✭Paco Rodriguez

    This.











    ^^^^^
    These kind of posts

    Cough "pot" splutter "kettle" a-hem "black!"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,489 ✭✭✭Yamanoto


    Absentee landlords - folks who start a thread, receive advice & then don't bother their arses to make an appearance again.

    I'm not talking noobs either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,417 ✭✭✭ToddyDoody


    Folks who only read the first post and reply only to the first post


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 140 ✭✭The Rabbit


    Liverpool and Manchester United supporters in the soccer forum.

    Grown men, sniping and gloating back and forth in a never ending cycle of shìte.

    It all seems quite tragic.

    Spotty student socialists. Usually with a dose of barstool republicanism added to the mix.

    The "what's your opinion, OP" brigade.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,985 ✭✭✭✭dgt


    Opinionated ****, who spout the same cancerous rubbish over and over and over again. Then have the nerve to use quotation marks and call people high horses when someone stands up and disagrees with their mealy mouthed opinions...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 614 ✭✭✭blankblank


    Holier-than-thou boardies who think the number of posts they've racked up is directly proportional to the weight their argument has.

    Yes, its you I am talking about.

    I love everyone on Boards!

    Even the trolls!

    Side note: 3,800 Posts! Yay!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,571 ✭✭✭0byme75341jo28


    The kind that just radiate smugness, constantly correct peoples grammar and judge the points the poster made on the attitude of the post. Maybe that's just one poster. Ah well.

    Also, the kind that act like the can predict the future, and treat everyone else who thinks whatever they're predicting won't happen like an idiot. Wait, same poster as above...

    I hate most of you tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,514 ✭✭✭bee06


    The posters who joined years ago but have only about 13 posts and have huge gaps between their posts.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,945 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    Intolerant people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 750 ✭✭✭onlyrocknroll


    Those who question the point of the thread, or post "just google it". If you're so concerned about your precious time, why go to the bother of whinging.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,513 ✭✭✭whupdedo


    The ones who reply to a post with just "link???" Just Google it you tosser

    And people who thank a second post just because it's the second post, it might not be funny or intelligent or smart but ill thank it anyway because 63 others have thanked it...jeez

    Posters obviously not here for the social or discussion aspect but purely for the bitterness.
