    Relationship topics. "My husband did this", "why are they acting like that", "men and women can't be friends", "let me tell you a completely one-sided story where I leave out everything that makes me the bad guy so I can justify calling my man a dirtbag or get hurt when random strangers do because I was stupid enough to consult you and not someone who actually knows me and gives two turds."

    Those types of topics are exactly why I left another forum that was actually geared to help relationships and yet they were as helpful as the ones you get here. There's nothing wrong with more simple advice but when you're sharing your life story just to ask should you leave the b*stard or not then don't be surprised when half say yes, half say no, and a war erupts because of differing opinions, details you just happen to remember and share after 9 pages, and you getting insulted when people want to crucify your boyfriend/husband/girlfriend/whatever.

    Aaaaaand I ranted, how cute.

    That aside I get annoyed with threads that try to bash anything that isn't "natural" in terms of food. The threads where people go on psycho-rants about the pharmaceutical Big Brother forcing us to believe vitamins and supplements are needed when supposedly they're not and/or they're poison, anything short of growing it yourself is toxic, etc. The internet houses the most diverse cesspool of minds.

    Posts questioning the health benefits of apples (I looked at the person's diary and it included 3 fried eggs, 2 poptarts, and 2 hotpockets, and an apple-the apple was the only item which the person questioned the nutritional integrity of)-I've seen a few like this, and the threads in which people are really grasping at any way to show they've burned calories, "can I count standing up as a cashier, can I count standing on a bus, can I count sitting on a bus? No. No you may not.

    I don't begrudge people asking questions, but certain topics make me want to rip out my hair..

    numero uno on my list currently is thigh gaps
    [/quote

    i probally could help them..........it involves my head

    I don't think I've yet seen you post something that didn't make me laugh!

    That string of double negatives leads me to what I hate: threads where people don't know the difference between lose and loose or weigh and weight AND threads yelling at said people.

    oh and rant threads
    Maybe you should make a rant thread about that.


    Someone else said something about this, but I don't like the "Real women look like this" threads. Someone is always getting bashed over their looks and it gets depressing. If thin women aren't real, than why are so many of us here trying to lose weight?

    These are the threads that i struggle to bite my exceedingly sarcastic tongue so as not to seem "unsupportive"... you know... like his/her family member/coworker/ childhood friend...

    What I was trying to say, but you did so in a much less convoluted way. Thank you.

    As someone else said, I don't blame anyone for asking basic questions, but driving, really? :smile:

    In addition, I understand that if you're far from your goal and have decided to start a program you want to do everything right, but how could you possibly think that falling short of your calorie goal every now and then is going to do major damage? Gaining the weight was the damage. It's in the past. Being committed to a program is all good. This is not an exact science.

    I totally see your point, but I'm not here to get skinny or thin. Just slim.

    "My boyfriend says ____" threads, because they always end in people yelling "HE'S EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE BREAK UP WITH HIM NAO"

    "My period makes me feel fat!" threads.

    If a thread drives you nuts, just don't read it or respond.

    LOL! Agree and hasn't this turned into a rant thread? Hahahahahhaha!!!!!

    "Guess the weight of the person above you"

    THIS. And any of the _____ of the person above you. I don't know they just irritate me because there's a bajillion of them.

    "Guess the weight of the person above you"

    Worse, "rate the person above you" threads! No one ever rates truthfully and they always give a good number to chicks no matter what they really look like and then say something like "super cute eyes" or "8 because your hair is awesome" maybe I missed the whole point of the thread, :yawn: What happened to the rolling eyes smiley????

    Its funny how people need to be validated by others and continue to return to those threads for more (untrue) feedback.
