    I'll read most of the first page and then start to skip to comments made by people on my FL. Cause they're the greatest. Nuff said.

    I do this too. Sometimes I am more interested in what my Kick-*kitten* friends have to say, but always read the OP.

    That's why you want to be the first person to reply. Then you don't have to read all that other crap.

    Hope no one else posted this already.

    I read the original statement or question and respond. Why should I respond based on what others say?

    because your reply might have already been given 2-3 times prior to you hitting reply.

    I find when the topic is fairly new and it looks like I'd be the first to reply, that when I finally finishing typing what I've got to say in reponse to the OP and hit post reply, that a bunch of other people's posts made it before mine and maybe even 1-2 replies from the OP (yeah, sometimes I get distracted when replying lol). So yeah, I can see how sometimes some folks may appear to just read the OP and nothing else, But then sometimes, I do only read the OP and nothing else, if it's pretty straight forward and doesn't require additional information.

    This is a pet peeve of mine as well. It's funniest when someone posts what is very obviously a joke post and there are pages of hilarious responses. Then some douchecanoe that only read the OP and didn't get the joke flies off the handle.

    This is the trip. The best type. I really like.

    That's because if enough people are saying the same thing that obviously makes it true, even if some other person posts a study showing that it isn't!

    Facts:
    - any fish can be replaced with Swedish fish
    - if you play video games you can get all your nutritional needs from doritos and mountain dew

    No if its 5 pages in im not going to read every single reply before I comment

    ^ This.

    Also I have had it happen before where I read the OP and there are NO responses. So I respond and when I hit, there's like 20 responses.

    Well, that's what I just did.

    ...Why you so worried about it again?

    Turtles make pretty good pets. just make sure to wash your hands before and after handling them! :D

    I don't like turtles, they're condescending.
