Do a search for "IBTL".

Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

I can see how you might think that as tragic, why would anyone pay for only 90% of a biscuit or a sweet

The most tragic ones I've seen are the weekly Late Late show ones in the Television forum. There's a regular group on there who watch the show religiously just to complain about it.

Staying in every Friday to watch something you hate is pretty tragic and some of them seemingly have an obsession with it and/or Ryan Tubridy.

Any of the who's your favourite poster threads stink of tragedy. Anyone that starts them could discover the cure for cancer and still get no respect from me

Really? You thought it was that funny? I actually felt sorry for the guy for posting in the wrong forum and all he wanted was help from others but got a load of smart arses trying to be funny. Not funny in my book.

Match day threads are pretty tragic. Posting up the ooh's and aah's of near misses, bad tackles, and wonderful goals seems really strange to me, all whilst watching the game! Half the action surely is missed by doing this.

Ah, come on. This happens regularly. People get in a few mild jibes and then it's relocated. No harm.

This is what makes people not stick around. They come on here for help and a load of knobs make them feel like an idiot instead of pointing them in the right direction.

Anything in Christianity or Cycling or Airsoft. Full of angry people with no lives complaining about how they hate the world and everything in it.
