"Oh so many, I'll start, people who call today 'hump day' "

Agree!

God I’d be here all week! Cryptic statuses, “fab my pics” fabathons, “watch me wank” false cheesy comments on threads, sucking up to certain forumites, unsolicited cock pics

That’s enough now now!

People who shame other for their body type while having the same body type they're trying to shame. They're just the opposite sex so think the same rules don't apply.

I cringe every time I see someone on a thread that is all over you in private messages but practically ignoring you in here but is all over someone else. Unpleasant to watch.

C*** I would ban that word. I shrivel up inside everytime I see it.

In-jokes on forum threads that people think nobody else understands but there’s always someone that does. That is definitely cringey.

Status updates - I have recently put a few up but it’s usually as a joke or asking people to stop using text talk but some of them are terribly cringeworthy. I try not to read them.

When people become personal or belittle others opinions just because it’s at odd with theirs.

Anyone who says ‘I’ll just leave shall I?’ Or ‘I’ll just sit here in a corner’. It’s a very unattractive quality.

They all make me cringe. Some flirting makes me cringe a little bit in a funny way. I find forum flirting a real giggle at times.

There’s loads of other things I’m sure ...

Can’t believe I have to explain this. Ok, you know when you ask someone how they are, they sometimes say ‘Not to bad.’ Now, if you’re a bit whacky you replace the ‘to’ (two) with a three. Thus showing people you’re bit of a character.

Posts like this one.

It's just a way of having a pop at other people without having the courage to take them up on it in the forum. If it's a ban you fear more than the person, then you're probably best saying nothing anyway.

Makes some people paranoid, makes some people scared to post, makes some people look bad. Nasty vibes, don't like
