All of you who are posting about groups of posters (those people who post "this", those people whose classes of responses you don't like, etc.) are not getting the point of this thread!

Wow, I can't believe no one has mentioned the poster whose father was a big law partner. In nearly every post about big law in the Jobs and Careers forum, there she is, going on an on about what it's like to be a big law partner (how much time he was or wasn't able to spend with his family, how he was able to carve out time during vacations, how her mother did everything on the homefront, etc.). The thing is her insight isn't helpful (at all!) since it's once removed and it's from years ago. It seems more of an excuse for her to prattle on about what it was like to grow up UMC with a big law partner father.

Then you shouldn’t have...poster.
Should’ve have married DH, shouldn’t have had kids etc.

Psssst... there’s not just one poster doing this.

This. There are many posters writing this, and it's absolutely fabulous.

This x100. Did I out myself? I'm one of these posters obviously. For me, it's true about the wine but I'm not at all alone.

Mr Z poster that constantly pushes for more H1b immigration , posts late so probably from out west, sometimes refers to what her DH has to do so probably a spouse that actually has little first hand knowledge

The “white women age like milk” poster.

The person who obsessively posts about Kate Middleton.

Ugh, that guy. He probably looks like the Cryptkeeper himself.

No I think there are at least several people who post about her. I've noticed because I'm interested in her (though more as a fan) and I've posted about her before and been accused of starting threads every week which I honestly haven't done.

Sorry, should have clarified - the Kate Middleton hater is who I’m talking about. As with the Trader Joe’s hater, it boggles my mind that people give up so much mental real estate (and time posting on DCUM) to something that they dislike.

Oh yeah I've noticed that person too. Go back to Europe if it's so superior! Or get over it. Either way, stop complaining.

I don't even think this person is European. Just a defensive mcmansion owner in NOVA who has traveled a little bit.

The “is it ok if I haven’t finished college in 4 years” poster

Not that frequent but she (or they) shows up on most threads about Hardy Middle School. The poster who is obsessed with the fact that Hardy kids wear uniforms and that makes it look like an urban school and what IB family would want to send their kids there because of that? And another poster who is sure that a specific teacher is still militantly organizing against IB kids enrolling at Hardy because the teacher was quoted as saying some rebellious things back when Chancellor Rhee removed the principal - *years* ago.
