The following things annoy me to no end.
Bumping of old threads simply by using the word "bump" and/or the cocky smiley. If your thread was so lame that you couldn't think of anything relevant to say other than "bump", then apparently, your thread REALLY doesn't need to be bumped in the first place, now does it? For the record--it's not the people themselves, it's the habit of such.
People who abhor using the shift key. Seriously, I know that I tend to capitilize a bit TOO much, according to certain people, but it's better than not doing it at all. At the VERY least, just do the first letter in a sentence and the letter "I" when signifying yourself. For the record--it's not the people themselves, it's the habit of such.
Using "LOL", "LMAO" or other shorthand while typing on a messageboard. I can understand doing it in a game, like WoW or Counter Strike. I can tolerate it in an IM. But there's no reason to have it on a message board--it's not like you don't have time to react to something someone said. You're not going to need a resurrection, or get sniped. And for you smartasses who are going to type "Yes I am "--you're ****ing lying. For the record--it's not the people themselves, it's the habit of such.
People who post "too long-I'm not going to read that" Personally, I see that as spam, and when I see it, I delete it. It's pointless to post something like that in a thread if you're not going to participate in the discussion. For the record--it's not the people themselves, it's the habit of such.
How every thread is eventually related to Hitler or the Nazis, regardless on what it was talking about in the beginning. Godwin's law is right. For the record--it's not the people themselves, it's the habit of such.
