I don't hate anything on BE.

Come on folks......this is not the real world.

It is just a game.

A pet hate by definition is a minor peeve or annoyance & hate doesn't really come into it!

I posted it in the Barbie as it is meant to be a lighthearted thread & not to be taken too seriously!:)

Youre right. As if its not bad enough that I spend my time talking on the internet..............................

Re: Pet hates on BE!

I'll tell you what gets my goat - it's smug, patronising tossers who talk about how much money they have and also the ones that say things like "BTW, I've lived in lots of countries so I know what I'm talking about" (assuming that they are the only ones who have). Oh, and yes, the not thanking thing - bloody outrageous behaviour. Oh, and also people who bore the tits off me droning about the same old negative stuff day in and day out and wonder why they can't make friends.

Phew, feel much better now, sorry for ranting!

Re: Pet hates on BE!

I'd just like to thank you all for your contributions to this thread thus far!;)

:sneaky:

But then just posts 'have pmd you' just so everyone else wonders what was so secret that it couldn't be put on public forum.

I really don't like the way that a lot of threads, sometimes really interesting ones, get killed off when a few clicky mates start their banter and innuendo. Its always the same people and its wearing a bit thin now. Its getting so predictable that I follow a thread, then when a particular person starts to post, I stop following because I know thats the end of whatever the OP wanted to talk about.

Don't ask me who though, it would be cruel to post the names. But if they are reading this they should know who they are and perhaps it will ring a bell with them :o

Seriously, if it irritates enough then report it. As has been said, we don't see every thread/post so sometimes only know when it's reported, however silly you might think it in the grand scheme of things. Just because it's been reported doesn't mean action will be taken but it's better we know.

You're naive obviously ;)

The Australian section seems more moderated than some of the others.

And far less than others, believe me. My pet hate is when people ask for information and you give it only for them to tell you that's not what they want to hear, does anyone know the answer they want :confused:

Yes.... but only if you don't start the sentence with something completely wanky like 'I earn a significant six figure salary' :curse:
