Re: Do you have LIF or internet related pet peeves?
It irks me when a post has a question in the title followed by a bunch of users real names.
For ex. What are your buying your DS for Easter? Jack, Jill, Mary come in.
Why not just FM those people?

Only internet pet peeves deal with FB...I can't stand when users just post quotes as their FB status.....It's just so annoying (only when people do this all the time!!!)
See I'd rather see an interesting quote rather than...
"John Smith wants Burger King."
"John Smith just went to Burger King."
"John Smith Mmmm... whopper."
"John Smith is taking a crap."
SHUT UP! Nobody cares go get a Twitter account or something! 
lol I get you...and you are right...but quote after quote gets annoying (to me)...I wonder if the person has anything interesting going on in their lives...lol I don't want to be mean, but I would like for "her" status to be original and different from what she is used to doing...lol

People who are desperate to show they have friends on here
You know, the ones that only post on that person's thread to say, "when I saw you last week", or "when we were on the phone yesterday", etc- even when it doesn't pertain to the thread at all
we get it, we get it 
Also, as others mentioned, people who post cryptic messages such as, I need prayers but can't tell you why...
Certain boards that I probably shouldn't even be reading, but I am a glutton for punishment, where the same questions arise over and over that even I know the answers to even though I've never been in that situation- cryptic enough? 
ps- I love cheese and cold cuts
on the same note, the people that will say: "well, since I know the whole story, you should.."
if you are friends IRL, just talk about it IRL, not on the internet.
Lisa - I love you, and I so agree!!!
Building on what you wrote, that also really annoys me. It seems to happen on one particular board a lot - someone will post a question and then that poster's friends will answer and say "you already know what I do." Well, I don't know what you do and maybe I needed to hear the response to!

Re: Do you have LIF or internet related pet peeves?
Oh yeah - the "friends" thing irks me
Someone will have a big announcement, make said announcement, and you'll get 1-2 people coming on saying "so glad you finally went public, wink wink"
Or, "I've said it before, but now can say publically...."
We get it

Yes, or when there is insinuation that there is issues with one poster by a group of other posters. I go crazy trying to find out who it is and what they did!!! Especially if they go on saying how horrible and awful the situation was! I am thinking to myself, "Did this person murder someone, rob a bank etc..." I need to KNOW!!!! And then when you decide to ask, you are just ignored but they then go on to say how bad the situation was!!!! By the way, this is at no one in particular this has been going on for YEARS dating back to LIW days.

When people, who may not be regular posters, are so happy to post pics of their kids and the thread gets a ton of views and barely any responses. I always feel bad for the poster. I always try to respond to those threads if I see them.
I feel like this about all posts. I always try to comment on the threads that only have a few responses or none at all.
I used to do this on LIW also when people would post their wedding pics.

When someone posts a topic like "is anyone else's husband completely insensitive?" and then 5 people respond with things like:
"no, not mine - he got me flowers AND cooked dinner tonight!"
"my husband rocks! he just bought me a diamond ring for noooo reason at all!"
There are several examples on Relationships right now

Re: Do you have LIF or internet related pet peeves?

know what I hate... when people come onto a thread about things they hate and talk about something none of know about but go back & forth about how they know who the other person might have been referring to with what they hate on LIW/LIF.
yeah... i HATE that.
share with the class please.
I agree 100%
its my biggest LIF pet peeve
people who refer to 'in jokes' or things that happened on other threads just irk me to no end
other than that.. i don't really care

Re: Do you have LIF or internet related pet peeves?
I hate when people use 1 long run-on sentence for a 2 paragraph post.
Also, on FB, when people only post work-related status updates.
"OMG, the Smith case is killing me." or "Thanks to Debbie in HR for ending the meeting early." Over and over.
It also bothers me when people post super personal stuff that is very detailed. I think they forget that they are posting ONLINE for anyone to see.

Re: Do you have LIF or internet related pet peeves?
Picky Posters!!
They post a topic/question... ask for suggestions/advice... and then give you about 87458756 exceptions in the original post like "don't suggest BLANK b/c that won't work for me"
Example:
I need boots and shoes. Has anyone seen really cute boots or shoes? What stores?
*Must be suede
*Chocolate brown only
*Not made in China - I don't want to buy their products!
*Not a Nine West shoe - those are not comfortable
*I don't like DSW or MJM - too busy and cluttered
*Big department stores turn me off so those won't work either
Any Suggestions?????

literally, the same poster that i'm thinking of does this with almost every post where they are asking for suggestions lol god forgive me for saying so but it stresses me out b/c i TRY to help them with suggestions, as does all the other posters, and nothing helps! just stop asking for advice - you HATE everything we suggest!
there was one post where right after asking for suggestions for something they eliminated EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE suggestion with their 'rules' LMAO!!

Re: Do you have LIF or internet related pet peeves?
I don't know why, but when I see the word spelled "rediculous" I want to punch the monitor. I don't know why I react so strongly, but it makes me nuts.
I also get annoyed when I see the same person asking over and over for help/advice/recommendations and almost never contributes anything. I remember someone on LIW like this, I haven't noticed it as much here.

Re: Do you have LIF or internet related pet peeves?
Those who:
Post a big farewell post, while throwing a hissy, and taking their toys home..... then showing up a few days later to play. Just take a virtual time-out without calling attention to it
don't use google
make sad panda posts about how no one responds to their posts (it happens to EVERYONE)
post how poor they are and stop just short of asking for hand-outs, but go and spend $$$$ on trips, photoshoots and *gifts* for themselves... really?
post about their awful marriage but are TTC 2 months later- it's a public forum.... you look like an idiot.
"anotherwords" does not mean the same as "In other words"
whew.... I feel better
