I realized another today while posting elsewhere.

*Bait and Switch*

Posters that start a thread with with a vent describing how horrible something or someone is and then after pages of responses return to post "it's not as bad as I made it out to be".

very good pet peeves, and yes I read them all <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I would add I dislike when trolls/drama types come in and (for lack of a better word) "hog" the board.

An example...I'm sure many remember the woman who came in here a few years ago as WW who was having and A with her pastor...OLMYG or something like that...anyway, her posts and life were like a car accident- you want to look away, yet at the same time you are drawn to the wreck...

I don't know if she was for real, but my pet peeve is that there was a bunch of people at that time who were looking for support but who were overshadowed because so many were posting to this person. And she was the usual "I'll ask you for your advice, but then go and do the OPPOSITE of what we suggest".

ok, I scanned all 9 pages and didn't see this complaint, so I'll add mine...

I hate it when people get mad at responses they get and declare they "will never be back," but in no time there they are posting again with the same exact name, the same exact problems, rehashing the horrible details of their history, and the same exact advice is given...which of course is ignored.

I hate it when a WS is told to leave because of continued contact and the next morning, the BS is questioning if she did the right thing. Duh!

I really hate this...no matter if it is an "inexpensive" restaurant or a very nice restaurant, you'll notice the tables being bussed. After he/she clears the table, they wipe the table then they'll wipe the seats... You know they don't get a new cloth to clean the next table. We would eat at home more often if I didn't hate to cook so much... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
