    ** when someone lists in their profile they are looking for friends, just friends to talk about fitness and nutrition, and then go on to say unless you are married or old.

    WTF? married people don't have a desire to get healthy? And 'old' means you don't know about fitness? Sounds more like the person in the profile is looking for young single friends and is also looking for more than just fitness advice


    ** the over-use of "I'm just saying", as a dismissive way to say your own comment means nothing to you and should mean even less to those who read it.

    LOL
    Yep!
    And, similar to one of my favorites (although not implying it towards you) -
    Life is tough.
    Life is tougher when you're stupid.

    It drives me nuts when people hoard friends, talk about themselves all the time and then never comment on anyone else's stuff. Its "all about them"...I said it before and I will say it again " I support my friends every single day but I'm not your Momma and the only gratification I need is to see you succeed without asking anything in return". If you take and take, you can just take that friend request back and go boost your own ego.

    OR they try selling stuff....

    OR they dont take the time to fill out their profiles or send a message with friend requests

    OR when people use this website for dating. Save it for eharmony. Also, if someone is married...stop throwing yourself at them. Have some dignity.

    If you ask for advice, dont get PO'd when I don't tell you exactly what you want to hear

    I could go on and on...haha

    *like* and may I just add use the word "loose" for "lose". Makes we want to scream every time. Whew, I feel better too!

    That's my pet peeve also. I realize that grammar may not be everyone's best subject but surely everyone has heard of "The Biggest Looser".

    MFP actually encourage members to post topics even if they have been covered. It's in the forum guidelines.

    I'm assuming this applies to people with real issues or debate points as opposed to the more popular ' rate the poster above'/ ' how do you take a number 2 at a public bathroom' type threads which are incredibly popular on MFP.

    People's needs and questions are different and not necessarily applicable to the person who might have posted the same thing 6 months before.
  • 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!

    Lol, always feel like people are thinking this about me but actually I hate the taste of full fat fizzy drinks!

    I have no complaints or bugs. :smile:
  • ... 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.

    But... But... What about boobie Friday??? :cry:

    lol, bless :laugh:

    This. Why do people assume I drink diet coke to save calories? I just LIKE diet coke and do not like regular soda. Simple. So yes, I will buy a super size big mac meal with a diet coke.

    Still trying to figure out why I read this. If something bothers me so much I skip over it and move on. Life is short but things are bothersome at times it's choosing to let those bothersome things go that matter.

    I think if you are going to complain about people posting a topic a million times, then you shouldn't be doing the same thing. If you have a problem with it, then that's fine, just don't do it yourself because now you're just contradicting yourself. Besides, I do agree that it gets more newbies talking with the people who've been on here longer. I personally like it when I see new threads of stuff, it means it's more updated. Again, if you don't like it, then don't read them.

    I do agree that children should not be on this site. Though on the other hand, they are probably on this site for a reason, and most of that reason I would guess that the parents don't care what their children are eating, aren't healthy, and the child probably want's to get out of that rut. In that case, I say props.

    I don't agree with the boobs and *kitten* (Even though I do like them) But I understand that's what people are proud of and what they want to show off. If you don't want your kids seeing the pics, you realize that they are here so don't use it when they are around, or use it somewhere so they won't see. It's your job to monitor what your kids see, not ours.

    Obviously snooping around in other people's diary's isn't working for you, so just stop doing it. It's as simple as that. You're here to change your way of life and healthy living, not other people's.

    This is my view on it.

    I like that this site has confident women. I've seen a lot of flesh but no sluts. Then again, the word slut is pretty antiquated to me especially when used to describe mainly women.

    Did you ever think that maybe they could stomach the regular soda? I know I couldn't so I drank diet soda.
    Now I don't diet pop at all, because it does make you gain weight. Now that I haven't had it in over a year I cant stomach the diet pop.

    If you are going to run the red, you may as well wear your seat belt. Every calorie counts.

    Quite honestly, I never thought about starting new topics to encourage the communication between new/ old members and thinking about it like that it bugs me quite a bit less!

    Everything else... like I stated originally, just blowing off steam. Overall I love mfp and all the little things wouldn't keep me from it. Most of the time, I just get over and on with it, who cares. And, yes, I know I contradicted myself. I stated that in the original post, too. lol

    Why are people getting so worked up about what I said about Fast food and diet coke? It's only my PERSONAL opinion...so don't take it personally if you THINK I'm talking about you! I haven't even met anyone one on this site and I have not publicly voiced my thoughts when this action occurred! I am just writing what my major pet peeve is no disrepect to another. For all those holier than thou who have commented why is it that you have to give an excuse for why people buy a diet soda? Could you be guilty of this HORRENDOUS crime?:noway: I say don't do it halfway go the distance! hehe LOL all fun and games people take a chill pill and focus on your goal and not a conversation geared towards spite!:laugh:

    ^^^^THIS!! You said every thing i was going to say! I agree with everything you told the OP. I understand that kids aren't allowed on the site but if a parent isn't helping the child get healthy than more power to that kid for trying to do it for themselves! I keep my diary closed because of people who like to look and complain about what I AM EATING.

    ... 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.
    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!?!?

    And tell me why on Earth it bothers you what SOMEONE ELSE is eating? Who cares if they choose to use their 1000 calories a day on a Big Mac? How does it hurt you? It doesn't. So, focus on meeting your own goals and doing your own thing and let them do theirs. :)

    ... 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.

    Have you ever tried to use the 'search' feature? Because I have, and it's not easy to find what you're looking for. Just understand that when you're new, you have lots of questions. That's fine, and people can ask them. Just because we're 'veterans' and know the answers to the questions, it doesn't mean we can't help others.

    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.

    Agreed.
