The Switch Off phrases on DXP

Mine is... "I'll keep this short..."

I read this all the fucking time on here... then the novel comes ...Yawnsville. Switch Off.

What other phrases do people use on their posts here that make YOU switch off?

Spill...

"CONFUSED!!!"

I know, I noticed the same thing, when I read something that starts off by saying I'll keep this short.. I usually scroll down to see how long it actually is and its always long

*Shrugs*

go fuck yourself

"His/Her ex cheated on them"

Like that is an acceptable excuse for bad behaviour.

"Dissapearing Act — will he come back?"

"Aqua man's mixed signals — what does it mean?!"

"i've posted about this before..."

i'm prob guilty of it, but ah well...

I'm probably going to get slayed or not for this but here it goes.

lol

Its been a long day. People who put a song under their post, just like I find myself doing a lot. Its a validation like no other that says World, look at me! My music taste is all that matters, on page 2. Its like a card with a memo describing a feeling that is captured within a emotion. Everyone knows dxp will 100% give a shit of what I'm writing while playing the song as they read. They have to. I mean, I did write it after all. FLAWLESS VICTORY!

*vomiting volatile emotions all over the place*

^Any post that has that in it..I zone out. Can't reason with the unreasonable.

No phrase switch offs for me, but my attention span recoils from anything longer than 1 post's worth.

Same.

Same with massive amounts of text with no breaks, pathetic grammar/spelling or stupid text speak.

Anything that screams "this entire post will be spent with you trying to comprehend my post. A Rosetta stone may be necessary" makes me tune out.

It's why you see my random "grammar nazi" posts. It's so irritating and rude that people expect you to read their shit when it's written horribly. I don't care if this isn't "school" (the ever popular response for sounding like an illiterate douche), if you expect people to read your post, at least make it legible, asshole.

"Are there any placements related to ADHD"

anything to do about aquarian guys but i end up putting my 2 cents in anyway

Hahaha I enjoyed reading these

Nice work people _?_

1.anything asking ppl here to explain about strangers they dont know. "what is *whoever* thinking/doing/feeling?"
2.anything that asks other to predict future behavior of another person. *will my *whoever* come back?
3.anything that generalizes everyone under a same sign. "you *insert sign* always do *insert bullshit line*
4. one sided sob stories. "he/she did this to me and is the devil and i'm so innocent and blah blah blah"

I think we need to be aware that English is not everyone's native language, but that is no excuse for:

*An unlimited amount of exclamation marks.

*All caps(unless we're talking about capricorns.)

*Huge blocks of text without even a hint of a line-break.

*Punctuation consisting exclusively of elipses.

I agree. I can tell when it's not someone's native language because they usually have better grammar.

"he broke up with me, is seeing someone else....how do I get him back?

or

"he is seeing someone/has a gf/is married....how do I get him?"

Ergggg!

Oh, and way over use of emoticons.

Seriously, I saw a thread a few months back that had about 8-10 of them in one post. Seriously.

- really tells about someone's maturity levels.

I'm not including those who clearly don't speak it as a native language. Still hard to read, but they have a freaking excuse.

Native speakers who write like they never went to school need to have their keyboards taken away from them until they learn to write. I mean really, you're how old and using text lingo? Puhlease.

**Is he my soulmate**

*groan*

IF YOU HAVE TO ASK THE ANSWER IS "NO."

I think that applies to just about any of these retarded questions.
