People that clutter up the news feed with facebook/twitter type babble making SUPPORTING my MFP friends that much harder as I have to weed through all the blah-de-blah-blah to get to the food and exercise posts!
Edited to add - yes sometimes I babble about something but not 10 times a day
The opposite of this -- I want to know a little more about you than what you ate and how much you worked out! Not a pet peeve, so much as a preference :-)
This. I'm interested in Dude lost 1lb, but I'm more interested in: Dude just started a new weight lifting routine and is doing great! Or Dude found a way to cut (xyz terrible thing) out of his diet! or Dude wants to know what his friends have done to reduce (sodium/fat/carbs/whatever) or Dude's NSVs. Or even Dude needs help resisting the gigantic cake sitting near his desk!
These are real interactions with MFP friends and much more meaningful to me.
My peeve is: People using the site feed as a circle jerk; not even reading diaries or looking at the exercises. Don't tell someone "Great healthy plan!" when they had 900 calories of twinkies and 400 calories of soda and were "Under."
The above is why I keep my friend's list short. I like reading diaries, and looking at exercises, and I appreciate like minded people.0 -
My biggest pet peeve with MFP posters is those who have to quote the LONGEST post in the thread, making that thread a gazillion pages long..........really? We get the point........just quote a bit, we've all read the previous post, we GET it.
(or is this just me?)
lol.
Mine too

I hate it when people want advice...and then they get it...but because it wasn't the advice they wanted to get, all of a sudden those people giving the advice are "mean spirited" and "haters" or whatever else.
Just because we disagree with you...just because we honestly answer your question with something other than sugar coated crap (oh hunny, it's ok if you ate more than the entire cow in one sitting, cause tomorrow you can just run an extra mile and don't worry about the fact that you eat Burger King 10 times a week...) doesn't mean we are being mean to you!!!
It means you asked a question and we answered it. If we were being mean to you, we would have not answered you at all.
Why ask a question if you don't even want the answer?0 -
Another is the people whose profile shot is pornographic. Like the guys with the 6-pack abs whose slacks barely cover their privates. I realize that I may be in the minority on this one....LOL
Or the gals who have to show off a bunch of cleavage......yeah, we know you got boobs, big whoop!
No, by all means, please keep showing the cleavage......0 -

*Not a real profile picture (Like a picture of your dog is cute but I wanna see you)
*Profile pictures that have a size 0 chick and her status update after update is "I need to lose 20 lbs" WTFever skinny beyotch! :laugh:
*People that babble on sentence after sentence about what they are doing including every little last detail. "I walked the dog down the stairs, out the backdoor over 4 piles of dog poo and then I sneezed three times and my neighbor said "bless you"." Ok you get the point.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Good thing I'm perfect! :blushing:0 -

Maybe people don't post their real pictures because they're afraid someone is going to call them a skinny beyotch...0 -
There are just so many rude people here. That really is my only issue. If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything!
Don't get me wrong, there are tons and tons of very nice people here too. I just have a hard time with rude/mean people, not just here but everywhere.0
