1. People who make unspecific thread titles. “Huh, I did not know that”, “A question”, “Something I was thinking about” Make a proper title you idiots! 2. People who write boring posts that don’t contribute anything. For instance, if there is a thread about an episode of a tv show, there will often be posts that are basically just small talk. “I usually like to sit down with a cup of tea every thursday and watch this show. This time however, I missed the first 8 minutes. I still enjoyed it.” ---

Pal, the only person who can waste your time on this board is you. ---

Hmmm… 1500 posts in 2 years. Looks like you have plenty of time to waste. And really, isn’t pretty much everything a waste? I was explaining this to my cats just yesterday, that they were a waste of my time. As usual, they gave me that look that means, “You’re an idiot”. ---

Sometimes I respond to Threads and sometimes I don’t, and sometimes I think of responding and decide not to but other times the decision goes the other way, one time when I was in highschool I didn’t respond to a post on this board because I didn’t know about the board or it didn’t exist, I think it didn’t exist. ---

Please type once for yes, twice for no. Or if you prefer, do it the other way around. There are no wrong ways. ---

> [@mr.jp](#): > > “I usually like to sit down with a cup of tea every thursday and watch this show. This time however, I missed the first 8 minutes. I still enjoyed it.” I agree. Although you should capitilize the ‘t’ in Thursday. I could also have capitolazed the ‘t’ when I wrote ‘t’ although, by itself I’m not sure it should or shouldn’t be capotolized. Anywhooo – I too like to have a nice cup of tea when I watch, whatever show it is we’re talking about. I prefer green tea. The problem is, green tea gives me the trots. Where does _that_ saying come from? Is it because you have to _trot_ to the bathroom to splatter liquid feces all over the toilet bowl? Yes! How do you clean off the shit splatter that’s dried on the side of the bowl overnight? (Don’t try to tell me you clean it off when you’re done and it’s still liquidy.) So, in conclusion -viz the TV show, I can take it or leave it, but give me my Oolong tea. ---
