Rude people

in Motivation and Support
I see plenty of posts on here about rude or mean people who fail to properly couch their advice for the emotional fragility of whatever recipient chooses to take offense, but what about OPs who never say "thank you?" If you ask strangers for advice, get plenty of it, and fail to say "thank you," I'd say that is the very epitome of rude behavior. And while we're at it, what's so difficult about saying "please" when you ask for advice? When you post a thread on an internet forum seeking advice, you are asking complete strangers to spend their time helping you. These people are not paid, and they certainly don't solely exist to help you. They are individuals with their own lives, challenges, moods, etc. Keep that in mind the next time you post asking for advice.

    I think it should be both ways, people need to try and stop taking things to heart ( I am guilty I have my days)
    And some people need to stop being rude just for the sake of it and expecting people not to get hurt cos they can't be bothered being polite.

    No, no,no. Of course it is only the people who offer up their time and advice who are rude. Everyone knows that. I can't believe you would consider asking advice-askers to be polite as well.

    Maybe this site would benefit from a like/dislike feature, or upvote/downvote feature like Reddit where you can express your dislike in a harmless click rather than a nasty tirade.

    But nasty tirades are so much fun!!

    Stop trying to bring civility to the Internet! Some of us prefer its folksy, Wild West, charm.

    Really, who could resist?

    It's through reading the helpful responses that I learned who was full of knowledge and who was full of, well, something else. A little gratitude goes a long way. It would be nice to see some of the people who truly help be acknowledged.

    Too many posters appear to take pleasure in being rude and mistake it for calling a spade a spade. It's possible to be honest and kind at the same time.

    This. The casual sexism on here is unusual in my experience of internet forums.

    BTW - complaining about the moderators, who are actually quite strict, is against the forum rules.

    ETA: lol - looks like the mods deleted that one.

    ^^this^^. . .and for me rude is hitting me while driving through a stop sign. Yes, I am a petite 205 currently, but at least stop to check and see if your quarter panel is fine as I ran in to your moving car. When I run I've learned to avoid people turning toward me and running stop signs. I hope her car is okay.

    I was wondering if I could please be included in all of the banging?

    Thank you in advance :)


    :drinker:

    For serious though....great points made. Everyone needs to remember some manners more often than not. Online as well and in real life, tbh. It's a sad thing.

    I'm not rude as I try to treat others like I want to be treated.

    With that being said, you hit it on the nail with the OP's that do not say thank you.

    When I have made threads in the past, I have tried my best to acknowledge all comments, if I couldn't due to overwhelming responses then I did it collectively. And if I didn't due to just maybe thinking the thread was finished then I am sorry! lol... Didn't mean too! lol

    Very rude indeed to ask for advice then leave a thread or not say thank you but to maybe a few people. Saying "Thank you everyone for the advice" doesn't take much effort. lol

    I would definitely put these OP's in the same category as other rude aka "blunt" as some like to call it people on here! lol
