Ugh, this is driving me insane. I absolutely hate it when people call their husband/wife after their screen name.
For example:
“FluffyPinkBanana: Well me and Mr. FluffyPinkBanana were watching Sex in the City and he said–”
SHUT UP. It’s not clever. It’s not cute. It’s tiresome and repulsive. Stop. Please.
What is Ms. Carnick’s opinion?
Shouldn’t that be Mrs. Carnick?
She’s got a puncture at the moment.
Even worse, it is now happening in real life. I have this friend, Wilson, and his wife is referred to as Mrs Wilson.
Ha, clever. You used the very thing I was ranting against to make a reply. I’m dumbfounded by your rebellious and sinister mind. :rolleyes:
There is no Mrs. Carnick. I’m lonely and bitter, can’t you tell? Or was that your point? Damn your eyes don’t change the subject!
grumble
Is he a volleyball?
Definitely in the running for the lamest rant, ever.
No but I am.
Oh come on, that was low. I’ve seen some pretty lame rants around here. At least my rant is original, unlike the other threads like “What’s the deal with telemarketers?” and the ever popular “To the guy who cut me off on the way to work”
Goddamnit, I hate you all.
No one’s making you stay. 
But I’ve got no where else to go.
Come on Carnick stop cracking wise, you’re not such a bad egg.
Why feel the need to put “- Carnick” after every post? We know who it is , your username’s right beside your post.
What I hate is something so horrible that I won’t even type it. Suffice it to say that it starts with a p and ends with a y, and it muffles the proper syllabage. When it is said, I just want to grab the person’s tongue with pliers and twist it. You can’t pronounce a succession of bilabial plosives!? Then you don’t NEED a damn tongue!
It’s a special mark of approval, a security measure you see. If you don’t see it after my message it means something’s killed me, eaten my brains, assimilated my DNA, assumed my form, and is making fraudulent posts in my name on the SDMB.
…
Carnick, if you don’t mind, you’re stepping on my posts. Go find your own thread.
But you – I – he – damn you Libertarian, you win this round.
P.S. I still hate you all
You’re a good sport. If you need a sponsor, you’ve got one.
I admit I find the practice described in the OP kinda stupid too.
