    Grammar even... :tongue: Sorry, I couldn't resist! :smile:

    Haha... I'm glad you said something, because I totally would have! I agree though, poor grammar and rude comments are on completely different levels of toleration.

    1) Excuses (esp. for why you fell off the wagon)
    2) Questions that could easily be answered with a google search
    3) People who assume that the reason they're overweight, is the reason someone else is overweight
    4) Quick Fixes - Drugs, fad diets, eating disorders
    5) Religion. I don't share mine with you, I don't need to hear about yours.

    Oh, goodness YES, especially on number 5! I actually came across a post the other day where someone said, "If anyone's interested in learning more about my religion, just follow this link!"

    It's bad enough I have it on my doorstep, ma'am. I don't want it in my weight loss forum. Thanks!

    People who are drama magnets.... they are everywhere!!! LOL

    I :heart: the poster that brought up "lose" and "loose"....that one always makes me cringe.

    And when people say "weight" instead of weigh. Like "I do my weight in on Friday and I don't know why I weight the same as last week." BangHead.gif



    Drama...and the people that sit around the forums just waiting to jump in at the slightest hint of a disagreement only to fuel it. stickwhack.gif

    Posters that tell people this is a weight loss site not a blah blah blah.
    Uptight posters should be thrown in jail.

    yup, that's why we have a chit-chat section...even the CREATOR of this site realizes people will make friends and chat and flirt and have fun....
    i HATE dating and marriage and relationship topics.. this is a DIET AND EXERCISE WEBSITE.. not eHarmony!

    ugh...see above...LMAO


    Mine:
    undereaters who b!tch that they can't lose. EAT something!

    LOLLL I'm kidding.

    But---

    *People who comment just to say they don't like the topic/the tone of the conversation/etc. If you don't like it, don't read it. If you read it and don't like it, just move on.

    *People that don't know how to debate or discuss things correctly. It's 99% never personal, but some people always are on the defense.

    Exactly that.

    And those who bash others for choosing to follow a low carb lifestyle, or any lifestyle they choose (unless it's a stupid thing, like the "Twinkie Diet". :indifferent: ) You don't have to follow that lifestyle, so why should you care? :explode:

    People who tell us not to comment if we don't like something or don't agree with something posted--probably one of my biggest peeves.

    I actually don't mind hearing about someone else's ****ty relationship that they like to ***** about, but, aren't going to do anything about it any way, as it just re enforces how fantastic mine is

    Oops! Sorry :smile: It was more about the people who comment just to tell us we are being rude or whatever. If the people in the discussion have no problem, I don't know why other people would. If you don't like something and can offer another insight to the topic, then please post!

    Social Proof

    but what really grinds my gears, what really makes me want to go nuclear, are the constant cries of "amen!!!" or "preach it!!!" after every freakin' inane, poorly thought out rant.

    Stop it already. It's not big. It's not clever. If I wanted to be part of a religious seminary I would wear sandals. And learn how to do that nifty trick with the loaves and fishes and stuff...

    There are a lot of things. One thing that really really bothers me is "fishing" posts/ threads. I understand that we all love to hear how great we are doing and that someone thinks we look great, but I can't stand to see the same person post thread after thread of "look at me" crap. .... don't get me wrong updates are great and I LOVE to see my friends progress, it's just the "fishing" for attention that bothers me. I also can mirror quite a few of the PP with the "viral" bad/ wrong info. I think we owe it to ourselves to do research on own accord to verify information. I also would appreciate if people would use the "search" button more often. :laugh: Lastly (for now) I HATE to see a thread topic that is highly controversial with the O poster asking for advice then ignoring or bashing the responses because it's not what they wanted to hear. If you can't take the heat don't post it! :flowerforyou:

    What bothers me is when some thinks they done wonderful with there food intake for the day and it looks like crap and then wonders why they arent losing weight and or still hungry. They dont realize they need to eat their recommended calories with good foods that provides essential fuel for the body.

  • It bugs the ever loving *kitten* out of me when people don't know the difference between LOOSE and LOSE.

    LOOSE - Hey look! My pants are LOOSE because I've been dieting!

    LOSE - I'm going to LOSE my fingers if I don't pay this hooker for her fantastic services!

    Learn the difference people. It's not as hard as it looks. ;)

    It bothers me when someone is using this site to boost their own ego by judging other people.

    Someone once posted that they really got off on seeing other people's food diaries - that it made them feel good to see that other people are eating McDonald's etc. Remember that what matters is what YOU are eating! :laugh:
    Doesn't really affect your weight if Thy Neighbor is eating fried food 24/7 (unless you are a conjoined twin, and even then it depends on where you are connected...) :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Honestly, what I hate most about the forums: mammoth-sized signatures. A ticker or two is one thing. But a full side-by-side before/after pic PLUS a ticker PLUS a challenge banner is just a bit much.

    + Millions of 30DS/Zumba/etc threads
    + Lack of "search"ing. I'm new to MFP, but it's not hard to hit Search or take a trip down Google Lane before posting.
    + Crying about slow/no loss, hunger, etc when their food log is full of crap.

    TL;DR - Same stuff everybody else said + dislike of mega huge sigs.

    Carb-bashing threads really bother me. I have no problem with the fact that some people choose to go low-carb. It seems to work well for some. But please don't say carbs are evil or that you can't lose weight if you don't go low-carb. Maybe YOU can't, but plenty of us can ... and do..

    Yes, it's hard to have a conversation without notification someone commented on your comment.

    Should I eat my exercize calorie posts drive me UP THE WALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I see sooooo many of those every day!!

    Those people that claim to eat like 600 calories and burn 20000000 a day and can't figure out why they aren't losing..........because you are STARVING MORON!

    Loose and lose is annoying but I just ignore this one.

    Grrrr when people say they can't eat all of their calories...NOT the extra from exercising (don't get me started on THAT endless debate on the forums), but say they can't eat what they're given...even if it's 1,200. Please.

    I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't get how people can't eat 1200 calories, it's not that hard to add full fat dairy, nuts, good fats etc and not really eat any more food but get in the calories. Dirives me insane. If you can't barely eat 1200 calories how did you get fat in the first place??

    This one drives me crazy! How did you become overweight in the first place!?

    *Long distance runners have no muscle
    *Carb bashers
    *People who would have you drown in your own drinking water
    *Diet pill people
    *People that act like just because they haven't heard something, it doesn't exist.
    *People bashing others for not liking their specific healthy habit

    Agreed! I am at 30 miles a week mileage and bike another 40, and I still look more like a tank than a ferrari. And the carb thing.
