Things that annoy me? Is it just me?

Departed 32016 · 9th March 2010, 12:02

I'm having a bit of a rant because I'm bored at work and can't wait to get my car back on the road- but the following have been annyoing me lately!

People who use SWMBO on posts on the forum- I don't know why it just annoys me!

There's one member who will remain anon but finds the time to write up on every second post "oh someone offered me £3600 for my car"
(don't lie. if they did- you would have taken it and no one is going to give you that sort of money after the long list of problems you seem to have)

People who don't search the site first before asking questions and updating that specific thread with a similar query.

People who post ads for their car especially those with over 100k miles with unrealistic prices and then come back saying I'm not desperate to sell. (Well why post an ad for it?)

People who just lie but are doing it obviously so you lose respect for that person.

People who post a for sale for an item and then someone else who posts a link to say somewhere on ebay that is doing it cheaper but is not in the same condition.

And of course people who highjack threads- although I am a bit guilty of that.

Sorry but felt I had to get that rant out especially "SWMBO"

I'm sure there are more gripes than that paltry list!

I'm sure SWMBO would agree.

With me its, the long description of a problem but no mention of the engine type? Put it on your profile

or Where can I get my car serviced / belts fitted? Well where are you would help? Put it on your profile

You are never alone here mate!

Don't you love the one where someone comes into a thread with a point-blank put down of the OP's question/statement without so much as an explanation or opinion?

That one gets me every time.

I have noticed in previous threads that you are 'forthright' in your opinions

.

We all need a rant sometimes, but I'm sure you agree that the general content of this forum is pretty good and very helpful, so I just smile at some of the things that are posted. My particular rant would be about spelling and
punctuation - eats, shoots and leaves

That's mainly the "I've got a problem with my car, I want it sorted cheap/for free but can't be bothered typing any more than I absolutely have to and even being on this site is making me impatient" type of people.
