You suck.
You suck
See the difference? Smilies are your friends.
Smilies are used to denote a sarcasm? Why Ida never guessed! Thank you QED for showing me the light! Now I just loooooove the little fuckers-- they are my friends!
I confused by your example Queen of Sheba. Is that meant as sarcasm or not? Should I be outraged or happy that you’ve seen the light? The world may never know.
But had you used a simple or
or even :mad:, we’d know.
Hey, I never said said youcouldn’t do non-smilie sarcasm.
Seriously, I do agree that overuse of them is highly annoying, but one or two here and there just to make the point isn’t so bad, is it? Surely there are more irritating things on the board, like rampant asshattedness, glaring ignorance and ummmmmm…me, right?
You know what I hate?
People who post on a thread just to tell you that they don’t care about your complaints. Boy, that really cheeses me off. Why can’t they actually add something to the discussion, instead of a stupid, drive-by post?
And you know what I like? Pie.
And something that embarasses me is hitting the Submit button too earl
I agree with everything except point 4. My cats are superior to all cats.
Oh, did I mention that monstro lives not that far from me and I never met her. That’s fucking annoying. That and her cat delusions.
1.) People who cannot bring themselves to preview make my trigger finger itch.
2.) Biggirl, I am so there with you on those annoying smilies.
3.) All of the above.

Yes.
Actually, this post was made to illustrate what annoys me the most. That’s when someone quotes an entire fuckin post, just adding a few words or an odd line under. The quoting feature is great, but fer chrissake edit the post you’re quoting. I’ve read the whole damn thing once and don’t need to wade through it all again. With the strain on the hamsters, you’d be doing everybody a favor if you do some active <snipping>.
Oh. And cats are vermin.
what was number 5? Please be me, please be me!!!
I didn’t have time read all of your OP (I’m in the middle of starting a new Harry Potter thread ;)) but I just wanted to say that my cats are WAY better than yours.
The Gaspode, thank you. Yes! That drives me absolutely insane.
I have some other minor annoyances, but they’ve all been addressed in other threads before, so why bother bringing them up again?
I don’t expect people to stop doing these things.
MY furry, frolicking felines are better than any of yours, because they rarely bring themselves into threads, clamoring for attention. Plus, they run over auntie em’s head and butt when she’s sleeping, which is always good for a chuckle is you ask me.
SkipMagic, your cats are cute but can they talk? I don’t think so!
One day we’ll meet Biggirl. I promise.
Saying that your cats are better than my cats is like saying that your crotch fungus is better than my crotch fungus.
While that may be true, when it comes right down to it, it’s still crotch fungus.
:rolleyes:
I too hate gratuitous smiley abuse :D. But this forum 'aint too bad, on many a single smile passes for a coherent post. Damn smile post count whores.
P.S. Mt cat is best… end of discussion.
The one thing I don’t like is the overuse of the rolleyes smiley as shorthand for “I feel I’m above actually WRITING a reply, so I’ll just use this.”
My cat even… stupid no edits make Berious look even more stoopid.
