The I look younger than I am posters who take it to absurd lengths. Like the one who insists her parents didn’t age until they were 80 lol and claims she looks 13

But more broadly, all the posters who assume everyone on DCUM is an affluent white parent living in upper NW, Bethesda, or NoVa. Sometimes I honestly can’t tell if they are trolling when they make their “suggestions” or if they really don’t understand that lots of other people post on these boards and have questions and opinions and concerns.

Conversely, I also can’t stand the posters who claim to be POC because they think it will make their argument stronger. You can always tell.

Ah. You must be the control freak OP of this thread:

That explains so much.

I love you.

The apostrophe issue is painful to see. "Mom's", "Dad's", "teacher's", "daughter's": these are not possessive plurals, people.

Honestly, I just don’t care to correct AutoIncorrect. <— see? Arrogant bastard.

I don’t think anybody should spend time proofreading a post on DCUM unless it’s somehow very important. We are on our phones, trying to hit submit before the ads refresh and our post gets wiped, and in top of that we have life to worry about. It’s not healthy to stress over an autocorrect error. This isn’t a job application or something.

True, but it’s really jarring to read weird autocorrects like “I bought bananas, apple’s, and pears...” Doesn’t it jump out when only one of the series has the apostrophe?

Totally agree.

There are certain posters who snarl that sons will become rapists, no matter what the reason. Very clearly some misandrists here.

Speaking of weather, the oddly aggressive posters are those who keep “bragging” about how much they love hot, humid weather - and scold others for using A/C. Those are some odd ducks.

Some DCUMers get aggressive over the weirdest things(and if you talk back, they gaslight you).
