Pet hates on BE!
 
I really hate when I take the time to answer someone's thread or send a pm with something personal & they can't be arsed to even say thanks!

What's your gripe?

I do try to do his, especially if I think it is a bit of a dimwit question, but you really can get a heap of shit when you search!:lol:

Which you usually read and 3 hours later you are still sitting at your PC and don't have the answer to the question you first had in mind.....if you can remember what it was!

I hate it when you ask a question and some sanctimonious bar-steward comes over all friendly like and sends a P.M. like they're expecting a personal reply or something!

I hate that I don't get nearly enough karma. I'm a nice person, dammit and I deserve to be justly rewarded!

People who say Perth is boring and live elsewhere in OZ but then spend 24/7 on BE! :confused:

I agree. I'm sure I've answered some peoples queries fully but I have little karma to show for it. What's up with that? :(

What's your gripe?

1. people who take the piss out of innocent questions asked by newbies
2. people who seem to forget that once they were newbies too
3. people who deliberately take threads off topic & into pointless dialogues with their pals (why didn't you accept my FB invite yet etc) which block original poster (often newbie / relative newbie) out
4. never-ending threads about whether UK is better than Oz or vice versa
in which people seem to get so worked up & twisted, it's frightening :blink:

Should add, I've never been newbie in question related to above points, is merely observation. I like BE a lot, sometimes it pisses me off but then it's just time to log off (and / or learn which posters not worth responding to) - overall I have got a lot out of it over time, like practical & interesting bits and pieces that have learned about by accident, also some nice lively discussion on occasion. Conclusion : not nearly enough to gripe about to make me go away :)
