"Oh sweetie" poster. I am not your f'king sweetie! |
+1 They don't realize how stupid they sound, so there is that. Maybe they are dim. |
This is a great example. Also, the one who starts each post with "Um..." but I'm sure you have covered them by now. |
You phrased this so well. That's exactly what they are doing, and it's awful. You can always see them coming, but many OPs are quick to provide clarification because they are focused on getting help with something and don't realize they are being set up. It really derails conversation. There is such a divide on this board between people who come here to share information in a mutually helpful way and the people who clearly use it as an outlet for their emotional problems. It's a shame there's no way to filter people out for this. |
The hyper competitive, insecure posters
Nitpicky grammar Nazis who have nothing to contribute other than to point out some typo The posters who are obsessed with “is this classy/WASP?” The Size Olympics posters who need to tell everyone they’re a size 0-2. Anyone who is a six 6 or above is a whale. |
+1. ttly% |
We need to appoint a DCUM Pitbull to stand guard as stalwart protector, or just a display of potential threat if things go awry. DCUM Grammar Police can be equipped with a badge and a red laser pointer. They can both wear matching burgundy vests. PS: This is the truth about pitbulls. https://thesmartcanine.com/pitbull-lockjaw/ |

The astrology posters.
The op's who think people who disagree with them are shaming them or being mean. The influx of posters who pretend they are asking for advice but really just want validation of whatever choice they've already made. Te posters polluting the relationship forum now that the explicit forum is closed. |
+1 He always pops up at just the right moment, usually when the typical college snobs are doing their thing. I love it. |
In this same vein, the posters who are shocked (SHOCKED) that people not living in DMV post here. Much of what is posted here is not DC specific and is really applicable anywhere. |
Those posts usually come after some wanker doesn’t disclose that he’s from BFE flyover and is shocked (SHOCKED) that _____ costs $X. Several posts later we discover he has zero fcking clue. |
So how bout Dahling? |
Jeff deletes posters? Not the posts? Like.. he makes the phone call?.. run for the hills!!!! ![]() |
