Pet peeve

I have a huge pet peeve online, and will probably get yelled at for this, but I don't care. I hate when people quote someone's post, and simply write "this". What a waste, and soooo annoying. If people are just going to contribute a simple "this" without adding anything at all of value, why not just let that post speak for itself or find new words to add to emphasize the point. Sorry, but I see it way too often lately, and it bugs me so much.

    A lot of people just want others to know that they agree. Since there is no "like" button, this is the only other way. Have a nice day.

    This!


    I agree that it's the best way to "like" a comment, however sometimes adding a thought of your own is nice too!

    And how's that? Adding an opinion is not wasteful. Adding the word "this" is. Your's may have been wasteful though...and still not funny.

    Nope. It wasn't funny at all. It was a serious post, and the responses were irritating.

    Thank you for the compliment about the butterfly though! :)

    ^^^This person did not say thank you to the other person that complemented them on their butterfly avatar.

    I'm not TRYING to be funny. "This" is recognizing an opinion. If you don't like it, the internet is probably not for you. Not too hard of a concept. Kinda like you copying the post from earlier today where someone wants people that say "bump" to be banned. Your opinion doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

    LOL so the internet is only for people that don't find "this" irritating. Okay then. I guess I'll disappear from the internet.....

    There is another way. You can simply say "I agree".

    You just opened a can of worms.
    Now everyone is going to purposely do it since they know it bothers you.

    LOL, I don't let that bother me...but personally I don't do it because it's repetative and pointless!
