What Kind of things PISS you off on MFP?

People who assume that because someone has a recent "Joined" date, or doesn't have a lot of weight to lose, must not know what they're talking about, because clearly they must've just been born yesterday, and not just starting a whole new account after having to close the previous one showing their year-long journey. Yah, that can get annoying.0

Freaking GRAMS in the food database! WTF! But I am a newbie, so I am sure I will find something else about MFP that is irritating, even if it ends up what irritates me the most is ME
not to poke a stick in the embers, but the reason grams are in the database is probably because there are folks (generally from outside the USA) who measure in grams and kilograms
I flunked converting measurements to metrics so I just guess when I see grams :blushing: 0 -
The fact that I post a question and get very few responses but others will have 200 plus responses becuase they are mindlessly arguing and beating a dead horse in the midst of it all
Been there..not going there again.0 -

People who log "cleaning" or "doing hair" as exercise! BS! No, you did not burn 1800 calories get real. People are really cheating themselves. It's called BMR!
I have logged cleaning before, but not everyday stuff, just the deep down and dirty, sweat you *kitten* off type clean. Which is not often or normal activity for me. lol If It makes me sweaty I log it, basically is my rule.
I track all calories burned throughout the day by wearing a pedometer and I list every day activities under one entry. I have two toddlers that keep me very busy and we never really know what the weather will be like here. It can change any given minute. So if the weather is right for a brisk walk at that moment, I take it. So, no, I don't individually list "vacuuming" separate from other cleaning duties but I do log them. It helps motivate me to take the stairs, go the extra mile, and when I'm reading to my kids if making up a few dance steps to my son's favorite songs burns more calories and it entertains him...then I go for it. :-)0 -
I ate fiberglass insulation. It wasn't cotton candy like the guy said ... my tummy itches.0

I sure do log cleaning as exercise. When I clean at work I move heavy chairs, plants, vaccuum using an old *kitten* vaccuum that weighs a ton, and am constantly walking around and this is usually for at least a half hour, so I feel it's earned0 -
people who weigh themselves EVERYDAY ... and them complain about it
lol....Luv this one:laugh: :laugh:0 -

I hate it when people mock those with eating disorders. I know some of the posts they make seem ridiculous, but they have a disease, they hate themselves, and they're truly suffering. There is a difference between discouraging their behavior and flat out making fun of them.
I agree 100%. We should never bash people with eating disorders. After all, don't we all have an eating problem? We shouldn't judge them so harshly. Aren't we here to help each other out.
I also can't stand when people tell me to eat more food to lose weight. Please please that is crazy!! It might work for some but it certainly isn't science and it would never work for me. To lose weight I eat less and exercise more. That's what I've been taught all my life and that's how I've lost my weight. Eating more puts weight on me. But that's just me. I guess everyone is different. I still say it's crazy.0 -
People on here that spout all kinds of "wisdom" and strong opinions and if you look at their profiles and trackers they want to lose 3-6 pounds. Talk to me when you need to lose 40 50 60+....
Agree completely ^^^
OMG agreed completely too!!!0 -
The fact that everybody thinks their way is the "right" way and everybody else is doing it wrong.
That and God forbid anyone has the audacity to disagree.0 -

I hate the fact that on the mobile site that I can't view many of the full site options like the message boards and team challenges. The other thing I hate about MFP is people who use it for their whine sessions. Yes, we all have bad days but those of you who whine about having bad days every day drive me crazy. I have a bad day and say one thing about it and move on. I wish more people could do that. If you want a whine site, find an online psychologist.
We wouldn't get along, I whine constantly in my diary and on my MFP blog. But the beauty of this place is that if someone complains about my whining, they can delete me from their online life with the click of a button, and I them! Then everyone's happy/
Ditto, I whine constantly too0 -
And you are entitled to do so. From where my fat *kitten* sits here (cause I can't stand by anything tonight), I feel a connection with someone who lost 100 or more pounds and now rocks a pair of shorts. What that person tells me feels more real, and I can identify with much closer, because of a shared experience and that person's particular accomplishment. Not to diminish the experience and expertise of someone for whom weight loss is a small to nothing issue and for the most part is here to work on his fitness (this site appeals to many and it's all good), but he just can't know what it feels like and is, from my experience, more likely to say something insensitive without realizing it. But, nonetheless, your advice is appreciated in the spirit of however you give it. Just thought I'd point out the bond between the HOs (hugely obese) and former HOs - it's unique. Ya can't touch it, unless you know the experience of not being able to see your **** without a mirror.People on here that spout all kinds of "wisdom" and strong opinions and if you look at their profiles and trackers they want to lose 3-6 pounds. Talk to me when you need to lose 40 50 60+....
That makes no sense. People have to get WAY overweight to be able to have wisdom and strong opinions?? Seems to me that the people who never got in that predicament to start with might be able to help those who are there.
I disagree.
And you are entitled to do so. I stand by my post.0 -
Stupid people.. I seriously had someone try to tell me that fruit has magical effects that prevent you from gaining weight, no matter how much of it you eat.
Last time I checked fruit had calories......0 -

Sexist much??0 -

Me and my husband just had that fight tonight. He totally is against me logging my fruit and veggies. His theory is that no one has gained weight only eating them . He was like "if you could eat 3000 calories in lettuce do you really believe you would gain weight?"0 -

Ok, not necessarily. But, I've found those who aren't that overweight or normal weight can be quite cruel when they're talking to those of us who are significantly overweight. Each person is different and thus has a different reason for being overweight. Not everyone who is very overweight is lazy, sloppy, or is lacking self control. My point: no matter what weight the person is, tolerance and understanding tend to motivate people to be healthy. If the person is constantly made fun of, yelled at, called names, ect it will not motivate them to lose weight. In fact it will trigger the opposite effect. In fact , this is such a problem that the American academy of family practice physicians has outlined procedures for compassionate care of obese people.

Then I should be logging my housework (when i actually do some), because none of that is normal activity for me....nuff said0
