***As a disclaimer, I'm not trying to start a world war, single out or offend any person. Just fed up and figured I'd post my two cents. ***
... people quote pictures in "post-picture" topics. Like, seriously, I didn't click on this topic to see the same picture posted and re-posted 31 times with different laughing icons underneath the quote.
... people comment on a post to say "Sorry, can't help you." Um... how about in stead of getting the persons hopes up thinking they got a reply on their topic you just skip it. Are you trying to get your post count up or something? What is the point of telling someone you can't help and don't have a similar experience to share??
... people don't search the forums on a topic (starvation mode, 1200 calories, eat back exercise calories, etc). Also, those of you out there desperate to knock me down for making this post, yes, I'm aware I'm annoying myself because there are plenty of posts (albeit older ones) out there on this topic, already.
... children sign up for and use this site and then friend request me. Nope, sorry, I feel incredibly weird with "friends" who are underage, not to mention it "breaks the rules" on mfp. You're a kid, your parents should be helping you eat not a community of adults on the internet!
... people have profile pictures of just cleavage, or just their butt. I can appreciate a full body pic in your underwear or bikini or whatever, showing off your progress or whatever. But seriously, I'm pretty sure you haven't been working out your boobs in the gym. I get the whole "lets flirt and have fun" and yes, agree! BUT, there's the occasional picture that I'm certainly glad my son didn't happen to walk by and see.
... people's diary's are more than 1/2 fast food. An occasional meal here and there, or maybe even one a day if there's some reason you can't bring your own or whatever for work. But, I don't get how people can eat the stuff day in and day out and expect to become healthier.
Right. There you have it, my personal mini-***** fest. All in fun, of course. I feel so much better getting this off my chest. My therapist is always trying to get me to express my emotions, anyway.
Have a good day, mfp!
EDIT: Because auto correct, despite it's best efforts, can't read my mind.

agree!!!!!!
edit* I didnt choose for it to zoom in on me lol, sorry about the chest shot0 -
*like* and may I just add use the word "loose" for "lose". Makes we want to scream every time. Whew, I feel better too!0

I have been thinking this for a while now. So I completely agree with you. Though, I'm still fairly young (18), and I also don't eat clean 24/7. I allow myself 2 dinners on the weekend of what ever I want, it is never fast food but like it in a way, just an unhealthy home made meal that is in my calorie goals, and I do that twice a week. So far it has worked for me. I think people should be allowed to have one thing a day that is in there limits, but not fast food. More like a home made slice of pizza, or 2 cookies, etc.
Just my opinion.
Hope you have a good day! :]0 -
"Really bugs me when..."
A woman posts a genuine concern and is looking for advice on her lady parts or how the hormones are working and MEN START RESPONDING TO THE TOPIC. C'mon guys, until you walk a mile in their shoes..
or, along those same lines,
Women making comments about 'balls', as in 'kick him in the balls', rip his balls off, grow a pair, etc. Same rule applies...its crass, low class, and totally inappropriate to make light of sexually assaulting someone. It wouldn't be very nice for men to commonly talk about kicking a woman in the crotch or punching her breasts, so lay off the balls references.0 -
I agree about quoting the pictures in the pictures threads--compliments are awesome, but just use their name or the first picture they posted. Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm reading a thread for the first time or not because I've seen the same person's pictures SO MANY TIMES. (I'm not complaining that they re-post them. They are proud and inspiring and deserve to. The quoting gets frustrating--though to be a total hypocrite, I did it once in a picture thread, but only of a single small picture, not an entire long post with huge pictures.)0

You need to find some bigger fish to fry0

Mmmmmm.....fried fish.......0

I pretty much agree with everything you said.
I too feel the need to wring the necks of those who type 'loose' instead of 'lose'. Christ, people, get it together, lol.0 -

1. All right.
2. "Sorry, I can't help you" could be considered a nice way to bump someone's question you can't answer yourself by someone less interested in post count than you are.
3. If you had read the "read before posting" threads you would know MFP likes to encourage new people asking the same questions rather than exclusively using the search engine. The idea is to create a dialogue between vets and newbies . . . a welcoming environment, rather than a frustrated, "fed up" environment.
4. Nice, teacher. I guess we can scratch that one off your future profession list.
5. I like boobs. So do most people. Let's not make me grumpy about boobs. As you mentioned already, let your superb teaching skills shelter your son from boobs, and let me look at boobs. Onward.
6. If you went to a site that specialized in gathering together the healthiest hemp-braiding people on the planet, you might have a legitimate gripe if all they ate was CFA "jesus chicken" but on a site where people are trying to go from not healthy to yes healthy, you should probably expect to see some struggles . . . unless, of course, you decided to butt out of other people's diaries.
Thanks for the show. Respectfully,

... people post topics about things that bug them.
... people have profile pictures of just cleavage, or just their butt. I can appreciate a full body pic in your underwear or bikini or whatever, showing off your progress or whatever. But seriously, If the rules would allow for it then I would want to see people naked. Lets flirt and have fun" and yes I agree! BUT, there's the occasional picture that I'm certainly disappointed I didn't happen to walk by and see.
... When I fall asleep with a double cheeseburger in my mouth.
Right. There you have it, my personal mini-***** fest. All in fun, of course. I feel so much better getting this off my chest. My therapist is my mom and don't forget to tip your waitress , anyway.
Have a good day, mfp!
EDIT: I'm kidding. I don't care about any of this. I'm only here to get my "fit" on.
SECOND EDIT: Because Auto-correct doesn't edit cruelty.0 -
girls who wear next to nothing in their profile pic and get mad why they get hit up with friend requests daily0

Okie dokie0

I agree with the children pics. I just deleted one the other day that said she was 23. She posted a half naked picture... you could see pubs.. in a status said she was thinking of signing up for track.. When asked college or high school she said high school.0

When people go to a fast food joint get the higest calorie meal and then order a diet coke....REALLY...I'm just saying though!0
-
TL;DR version: OP complains. A lot.0
-
It irritates me more when it is a low calorie meal and a diet soda because diet soda is actually shown to cause more weight gain than regular soda because it is more difficult to process, from what I've read in nutrition, of course.When people go to a fast food joint get the higest calorie meal and then order a diet coke....REALLY...I'm just saying though!0 -

It was for emphasis.0 -
This irritates me too actually. Most food diaries I look at contain fast food at least once. Now, the occasional take-away or trip to a fast food joint is fine. But when it's every week and you've racked up over a 1,000 calories in one meal, um... HELLO!?!?... people's diary's are more than 1/2 fast food. An occasional meal here and there, or maybe even one a day if there's some reason you can't bring your own or whatever for work. But, I don't get how people can eat the stuff day in and day out and expect to become healthier.0 -

I agree with some of these, though I wouldn't have started a post about it personally.
That being said, if I decide I want a burger or something, and it's within my daily limit, I don't see how that's anyone's business but my own. I don't actually like burgers, but you get my point. I don't expect everyone on here to follow my strict diet, and I don't expect people to tell me what I can and cannot eat. I don't see why people eat bread, it's full of chemicals and crap, but I don't think it's within my right to tell people they have no right to be eating it. Live and let live. Don't be a douche. Etc, etc.0 -
'Quick bread' is full of chemicals, but most bread is fine to eat. Especially if it's home-made or from a bakery. >.>I don't see why people eat bread, it's full of chemicals and crap,0 -
Agreed with single point you had made!0

I just want to say a womans body is just science. If its another woman asking if its normal to gain 10 pounds right before TOM, then I think pretty much everyone can answer that. If she's asking about other women who have a personal experience to share, then I understand but there are so many general questions about regular physiology that pretty much anyone can answer. How many women have male gynocologists. Js0
