How about this variation? People who tell you where they live. But its some town 99 percent of Americans haven’t heard of, so you don’t even know what fucking state its in. Or the even more irritating variation of that. “I live in Riverton”. Where the fuck is that? About 50 miles west of Chicago. Well, say 50 miles west of Chicago you stupid assed fucker! Yes, its a major peeve with me. ---

The thread title made me smile. A few times when I’ve been bored, I’ve sent a text message to dozens of friends asking, “WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?” I get all these replies from people who think they promised to meet me/pick me up/show up/whatever. And I patiently explain to each, no I’m just curious where you are. I’m evil. Sometimes. ---

I’m just outside of Boston. Where the fuck are **you**? 😃 Actually, the location in my profile says “Behind the Sofa”, so that wouldn’t be much help to anyone. ---

People who don’t describe their location are subhuman. That is either true or false, and by itself has no moral component. ---

Still enough time to hit the beach. 😃 Isn’t it like that everyday on Oahu, especially in Honolulu…a little spritz for 20 minutes or so and then sun for the rest of the day? ---

There was a thread long ago titled (I think) "Why is the location line of our posters so often left blank? Ever since, my location has been “So Often, Left Blank”. It was funnier when I was a member of course. ---

I’m in complete agreement with the OP. It pisses me out when someone makes a post like “Where I’m from we…blah blah”, or, “In my city the law says…blah blah”, and there is no indication of where the hell the poster is from. So I check the user profile and see that the poster’s location is _“sitting on a cloud”_ or _“behind the door”_ or some other cutesy shit. Well, ha ha, that’s very clever and original :rolleyes: but in most cases it makes your post invalid. Now my lawn is not a location so get the hell off it! :mad: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-the-fuck-are-you/715548.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-the-fuck-are-you/715548.md?page=3)
