Annoying Online Habits

Feuer Frei! · 03-12-11, 07:10 AM

What bugs you when online Kaleuns?

Is it when using Messenger and the person is 'available' but doesn't respond when you message them?
Or is it when people always type 'lol', for instance: "Today i went and drove my mum to work lol", as if that's funny.
Or people begging for 'thumbs-ups' on youtube vids.

What annoys you? Rant away...

Threads that ask people to rant about what bugs them

the_tyrant · 03-12-11, 07:19 AM

something like this:

Quote:

myemail@myemailprovider.com
you know what this is for

plz help a friend in need

or a modified version

Quote:

my contact info: yourmsn
you know what this is for, just remember to "like" my whatever

This actually happens, and there is no language barrier for this type of post
happens on forums of all languages
if you don't know what these posts are asking for, please google "self sexual stimulation"

When people feel that their opinion is really important just because they can transmit their opinion via the Internet Tubes.

yep, when people on messenger are online but not responding, you get all paranoid...

and FB posts: oh my god bla bla bla, what is it all concerned and it's nothing, doesnt matter.... why post it than

and if single doesnt mean available, why advertise it

and when you have a nice conversation with a hot woman (on posts, not chat) and the entire conversation is flooded by 20 oversexed guys giving out ''compliments'' to the woman and has nothing to do with the actual topic
example:
A: this strange thing happened to me today
B: (would be me) ahahahha, but my day was stranger (explain the strange thing)
A: lol,

but you can't imagine what happened few months ago (explains)
B: ahahhahahahaha, it would be funier if XY would have hapened

C: hello, how are you, havent seen in a long time
D: ypu sure hot, like the avatar
E: hi, I think I saw you at this concert last week, were you there
F: droool droool droool
.
.
.
conversation ended

this rants sure feel gooooood

Old standards:

POSTING IN ALL CAPS. USED TO HAVE A DISPATCHER THAT WOULD DO THIS, AND HE NEVER COULD UNDERSTAND WHY WE ASKED WHY HE WAS YELLING AT US.

Or forum posts that seem to be posted by a 6 year old. Ok, I understand some shorthand, and smilies, cause that just makes things easier. But for christs sake, use sentences and punctuation. Language barriers are one thing, and can be worked with. Ignorance cannot.

Ignorance is just a lack of knowledge and can be overcome.
It's Stupid that's the problem.

1. OK not Ok
2. shorthand and smilies not shorthand, and smilies
3. because not cause
4. Christ's not christs
5. Language barriers are one thing and can be worked with. Not one thing, and...
6. "Ignorance cannot" is an incomplete sentence.

Consider Language barriers are one thing and can be worked with; ignorance can not.

Snicker. Nitpicking other people's writing is also an annoying online habit.

Very annoying as a matter of fact.

It's not incomplete! There's a period at the end.

Knew I'd get flak for that post :P

Now this is all just getting annoying.
