vent here

this is a thread on which to complain about the comments you may see in other threads. just write down what bothers you about a comment you have read in another thread. you don't have to preface or explain your complaint, just leave it here so the other threads don't get so congested with off-track complaints. grammar, language, religion, politics, celebrities, junk food, bad teachers, censroship, whatever bugs you.

(i'll start.)

stop attributing the mean remarks to what you assume are fat or heavy people!!

Thu. May 3, 11:13am

when are people going to stop asking about miracle potions/powders/drinks? get over the idea of a quick fix if you want lasting results!!!!!

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 11:16 AM

oh, i shouldn't share a concern for someone who might have an eating disorder? f-off!

underweight people trying to lose weight

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 12:22 PM

people who keep starving themselves to lose weight even though their hair is falling out from malnutrition.

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 12:27 PM

stop griping about how heavy you are while you are ordering a tuna-melt sub w/ extra mayo!!! i don't care that you got a DIET coke!!

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 12:37 PM

habit has only one "b"

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 12:37 PM

"Why can't we all just get along" whiners

I hate the motherly lectures from the easily-offended to show more compassion and sensitivity. They're the ones who should shut up, not me.

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 12:53 PM

hobbit has only two bs

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 12:53 PM

bookkeeper has two os, two ks, and two es

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 12:55 PM

hahaha....this is good

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 1:36 PM

you're not supposed to capitalize the words "myself, me, my"

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 1:46 PM

excuse me? "bookkeeper" has 3 "e"'s! Just not all in a row. ;-)

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 1:47 PM

12:55 here

Pardon me, I stand corrected.

Look at that...no insults...no hurt feelings...it is almost like we're adults. Can you believe it?

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 1:54 PM

ironic that no smarty-pants posters have jumped on this thread! i started it for them!!

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 2:05 PM

Hey -- I'm an occasional smartypants poster. I'd say this thread is full of us, but without anyone trying bully us into false harmony, we all get along just fine. Hehe.

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 2:17 PM

Lose weight. Not loose! Although losing weight can give you loose skin.

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 2:20 PM

I don't like it when I come in here to be entertained and there are no funny threads... I come to be entertained most of the time, not informed... and then a lot of ppl just sound like they wiped the wrong way. P U

Thursday, May 3, 2007, 6:22 PM

I hate when I join a group that someone else has obviously created that says very active members only and I seem to be the only one that posts or even logs. Man that drives me nuts

Friday, May 4, 2007, 3:12 AM

ok Im guilty of capitalising My lol as far as spelling goes I can spell just cant type. allthough I did spell habbit with two bs and it only has one live and learn I guess . yes I know what you mean about posters not posting but I finally am in groups that are supportive but will kick My butt if I need it too so just the way I want it.

Friday, May 4, 2007, 6:24 AM

Sarcasm.

I've seen so many sarcastic posts, and I mean, how dare they leave a sarcastic reasponse! This is all very serious...

It is safe to say that the person who suggested Crystal Meth as a weight loss drug was being sarcastic.

I like sarcasm and I will keep using it, even you are to stupid to read into my tone.

Angry Red Pens: the 2nd most despised group on PT?

The grammar know-it-alls on PT..please, create your own group and take turns proving grammatical superiority over each other so the rest of us don't have to witness it. Next to the Jesus people, you are the most annoying group on PT. I'm here to get healthy..misspellings or incorrect usage do not give me a rash. As long as I can understand it, I don't care if someone writes "Y" or "why." If you feel to inclined to correct the grammar crisis in America, become a teacher and try to fix the problem where it starts!!!

You know who you are!!! If you spend a fraction of the time that you spend on correcting grammar on this site, you could have lost an additional five pounds or have buns of steel by now. Now please put away your angry little red pen and go do something outside!

Friday, May 4, 2007, 8:54 AM

LOL I need new glasses...

I totally read the title of that last post wrong... I added an "i" to Pens... guess where...

It sorta made sense at first....

Friday, May 4, 2007, 6:32 PM

lmao too funny

Friday, May 4, 2007, 7:33 PM

I'm not in any way a spelling or grammer stickler when it comes to informal message boards. Work emails and letters, yes, but here, no. But it confuses the heck out of me when I'm trying to read someone's post and they've not used any sort of punctuation or even spaces to separate out their sentences so it takes me twice as long to read it and figure out what they are saying.

example: (In answer to "how old are you?")
35 but get guessed for later teens early 20's does that count grins

(Whoever posted this, I am so not trying to pick on you, I tried to think up an example of my own but your was better)

Monday, May 7, 2007, 8:08 AM

Oh, the poll-type threads...

They're so pointless that it's tempting just to post a kazillion one-word answers as a passive-aggressive way of pointing out their pointlessness.

Monday, May 7, 2007, 9:24 AM

leave the sassy, snarky, superior attitude at home, please!! the uber-b*tches seem to have taken over the forum.

Monday, May 7, 2007, 4:22 PM

I LOVE all this bitching!!

Sooo much fun!!

Monday, May 7, 2007, 4:57 PM

to poster 8:08 I will try to pay more attention to punctuation. It's a weak point of Mine, but you can use Me for a example anytime. smiles, have a great night everyone !

Monday, May 7, 2007, 6:44 PM

Were there posts deleted from this thread, or am I drunk (again)?

Monday, May 7, 2007, 11:36 PM

I hate when people post questions like "are tostito's and salsa bad for you?" I'm sorry, but if you are eating out of a bag of chips can't you turn the bag over and look at the nutritional info yourself? or read the ingredients?

Monday, May 7, 2007, 11:45 PM

I can't stand it when group members accumulate smallish cheats - poptarts for breakfast on Monday, conference room pizza on Tuesday, office birthday cake on Thursday, one (fishbowl-sized) margarita on Saturday - and then can't figure out why they didn't lose any weight that week. I want to smack them in the head like in that V-8 commercial.

Tuesday, May 8, 2007, 2:15 AM

how much does someone who wears a size 8 weigh?

Tuesday, May 8, 2007, 8:46 AM

okay. we get it. peas are nutritious. we can all reference the wiki or another source for ALL of the benefits. you really don't need to list them all out separately.

Tuesday, May 8, 2007, 8:51 AM

2:15 - that is definitely ME! haha. I work out every day but eat terribly and then get annoyed when I don't lose weight. Sorry!

Tuesday, May 8, 2007, 9:39 AM

your: it belongs to you

you're: you are

you're driving me crazy with all of your mistakes.

Tuesday, May 8, 2007, 9:52 AM

do a bloody search before you post! how many bloody polls/threads are we gonna have that relate to diet soda?

Tuesday, May 8, 2007, 10:17 AM

I'm through with the "what are..." or "can you explain..." posts. It annoys me, because I usually know precisely zero about the topic brought up, and it takes literally two seconds to google lots of great info. Why can't they do this themselves? Many times they're not even asking for your own personal experience, they literally just want you to take the time and spoon feen them information they couldn't be arsed to look up themselves. Annoys the heck out of me. I've mentioned it very tactfully before after posting a lot of useful info that I took time out cut and paste and/or link, about a subject in which I had no interest. The post was deleted because expecting people to think for themselves is apparently an offensive concept.

While I'm letting my vitriol ooze, I hate it when people on really long threads refer to a previous post by time only and not date as well. I have to hunt and peck to the point of migraine to find it. Date and time please!

Tuesday, May 8, 2007, 10:59 AM

May 8 10:59
what is arsed supposed to be. Is that slang for asked. I might be uncultured so let me know

Wednesday, May 9, 2007, 3:37 AM

yeah, take diet pills. that's what this site and the "support" that's offered is really all about-discussing different types of pills and brands with the most value. yummy! pills are great!!

Wednesday, May 9, 2007, 9:19 AM

why don't you just google "good sources of zinc" ???!!! no, wait, let me do it. ANNOYING!!!!!

Wednesday, May 9, 2007, 9:27 AM

its so hard for Me to understand the posts without punctuation its funny that I notice the capitalized I Me Mine My its funny that the typer takes the time to capitalize but not to insert commas or apostrophes there is an occassional period I hate reading these posts

Wednesday, May 9, 2007, 9:50 AM

to the May 09, 2007, 9:19 AM poster

I totally agree with you, and I think its somewhat ironic and may be fueled by the fact that many of the advertisements on this site are for hoodia and other get thin quick fixes.

Wednesday, May 9, 2007, 10:08 AM

09 May 3:37

The phrase "can't be arsed" is en expression simply meaning can't be bothered. It's commonly used in English speaking countries in Europe and perhaps elsewhere. Not the most refined of phrases as "arse" is slang for a part of the human anatomy (It's not "ass" actually as said in the States. That's a donkey, but I'm getting pedantic.), but I find it handy and use it all the time.

If your post was actually sarcastic, oops. There goes me trying to be helpful again.

Wednesday, May 9, 2007, 10:10 AM

why are you opening the thread if you are only looking to respond to and/or criticize others' comments and not post one of your own that pertains to the topic?

Wednesday, May 9, 2007, 11:23 AM

yeah, you're not so great. i've read the bible of choosing healthy foods so now i can preach to those who think they are making good decisions, even though they're probably not.

Wednesday, May 9, 2007, 11:24 AM

Because often when reading the discussions I becomed so enraged with the imaturity of some of the posters that I forget about the topic discussion and have to stick up for what I believe in.

Wednesday, May 9, 2007, 11:26 AM

post complaints here, don't hold a conversation. i hate when there are back-and-forth chats going on in the middle of a thread!

Wednesday, May 9, 2007, 11:37 AM

9:50- I hope you did this on purpose, but you don't have any commas or periods either. Read yours again and see how bad it flows.

Thursday, May 10, 2007, 5:01 AM

um, how do i say this? duh!

Thursday, May 10, 2007, 8:58 AM

you wrote "a" doctor, not "my" doctor! you said the doctor suggested that zinc be part of an overall health plan. what exactly does that mean? do you need to just have zinc in your diet or ADD more? i asked these questions, received a snarky remark and MY comment was removed! love it!

Thursday, May 10, 2007, 10:04 AM

zinc MAY treat ANY ailment, we just haven't done the tests yet to figure out which ones and in what ways zinc helps. vague claims are empty messages.

Thursday, May 10, 2007, 10:07 AM

i love how people title others with labels like "liberal" or "conservative" or "right-wing" on this site! like you can really deduce that much about a person by reading a comment!

Thursday, May 10, 2007, 12:06 PM

don't dissect the joke...either laugh or don't, but asking for an explanation or verification ruins the humor...

Thursday, May 10, 2007, 2:17 PM

laughs. it may be humourous to you, but it has made me look at my punctuation more. you did a good impression of my writing. laughs never knew it looked so bad. I never realized how My lack of puncuation looked. so thanks! we all like to learn and grow.

Friday, May 11, 2007, 4:42 PM

4:42, another tip: when writing actions, use asteriks to indicate as such. eg: *laughs* never knew it looked so bad.

p.s. you are a really cool person to look at yourself so honestly. *smiles*

Friday, May 11, 2007, 4:52 PM

* smiles* thanks, I have never been good with punctuation, but I always like improving Myself. You have a great sense of humor. I think thats one thing I try to hold onto no matter what the situation is. if You cant laugh at Yourself and be honest with yourself you will lead a very boring life.
