But then we'd have scroll back (sometimes between multiple pages, bad for bandwidth y'know) to see what the original post was in its entirety. If somebody quoted this post, they might believe that you had made some tangential remark about one of your relatives and I had questioned its relevance to this thread.

I'll tell you what else I fucking hate:
Animated fucking gifs in messenger, so when you're chatting to someone they can't even type 'Hi' without a fucking polar bear running across the screen with big flashing letters on its arse saying HI!
And people who send you things that they think is funny through email. I can guarantee that I either won't find it amusing in the slightest, or I've seen it about a fucking 6 month ago in our hitting refresh thread. 99% of the time, its both.
No, actually, 100% of the time. Fucking twats. They might as well just write an email saying 'you know, I'm going to prove how much I really don't know you, simultaneously demonstrating why I have an underdeveloped sense of humour and are easily pleased by facile bollocks.'
I also hate it when, without so much as an enquiry myself, someone I don't know particularly well or don't have much time for decides to burden me with a tale of woe concerning a situation of their own making and I'm completely unable to feign sympathy.

Oh tis my delight on a shining night
When the coppers aren't about.
When the coppers aren't about.
Gangs of football-fans walking down the street, waving banners, wearing caps/shirts, singing songs and in general wearing a big, flashing sign that says " LOOK AT ME, I HAVE NO LIFE OR PERSONALITY OF MY OWN SO I MEASURE MY SUCCESS THROUGH PEOPLE I'VE NEVER ACTUALLY MET, AND THAT WOULDN'T NOTICE MY EXISTENCE EVEN IF I POURED GASOLINE OVER MY HEAD AND THEN LIT IT WHILE SINGING "BLAZE OF GLORY" BY BON JOVI!"
Phew, I needed that!
Phew, I needed that!
Yes.

I have a really hard time reading one person's messages because literally things like the letter 'u' (as in the text speak for 'you') is a big animated thing and it seems to happen even if the letter 'u' is part of a word. Annoying.
Yes, oh hell yes. Worse still the idiots who keep forwarding chain messages. Thankfully in my new workplace the staff seem a little more educated, but my old place was a charity. This meant it was full of good natured (naive) people who honestly believe that forwarding this message to 10 'friends' (oh so we're friends all of a sudden!) will be identified and recorded by lukemia-cures-r-us who will pledge £10 for every person they forward it to towards saving some dying little 6 year old girl in Outer Mongolia. No amount of me (as IT manager at the time) sending out polite education documents or plain old humiliating/sarcastic announcements would help!And people who send you things that they think is funny through email.

A few 'friends' still do this.
And while we're on the subject, fake friends. People who think that you should be honoured that they added you to their top-200 on Bebo, but will never give you the time of day other than to boost their 'friends-list' driven ego.
Or the ones who never talk to you unless they're
a) Sending a 'funny' (shit) email
b) Sending a christmas card
c) Sending one of those shitty chain letters
d) After something (e.g. tech support or money)
e) Seeking attention about their problems/worries but never want to return the favour
