@LiteraChick per your request, I will try to add something memorable to my siggy, but we'll see how this goes....

Can I be in the cool kid club if I wear pink on Wednesdays?

I'm mobile 99% of the time, but when I'm on the laptop there is a gif in a signature that makes me gag every. freakin. time. The one with the model on the runway and the ankles and the wobbling. Oh the horror! And the potential vomit!

****Do you wanna make a Facebook group?**** Sung to the tune of "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?"

eortman · January 2014

Ok, folks, I have read the siggy help link and still can't get my pic to upload. I am trying to use tinypic. Help?

This isn't really a Bump pet peeve, because it happens in real life as well, but I hate it when people say things in posts like "Must be a regional thing, because in northern X state we do it like this."

First of all, I guarantee you that everyone in northern X state doesn't do it like this. Maybe in your group of friends, sure, but you are generalizing and that's one of my biggest pet peeves.

Also, another one of my biggest pet peeves is when I have a busy day at work and by the time I get a chance to log in, a particularly interesting discussion has pretty much been exhausted and there's not much point in putting in my own two cents. But really I should blame my job for that, not the Bump

just thought to myself "hmpf, i wonder what exactly a mucus plug looks like"....then made the terrible, terrible decision to look for it on google images. @-)

tourqeyes · January 2014

The whole girl crush thing is getting overplayed.

Asking if people share due dates. No shit someone does on the board.

People who lurk on Hdbd threads and don't love tit the photos. It takes a split second to like someone's photos

Repetitive questions.

People who dont stick around to defend themselves when things don't go how they want in threads

Excessive food talk.

Questions that aren't really questions. Rather just wanting validity of what they think.

When disagreements go no where and get dragged out. It gives me a headache. Call it a draw and let it die. You clearly aren't going to change one another's opinions after 3 pages of back and forth.

UO that aren't unpopular. fFFC that aren't confessions.

People who love tit BSC posters. I remember who you are.

How you can tag someone in a post that has a - or _ in their name

Posts and run.

And mostly what everyone else has posted

Oh god, the horror...

January Bride · January 2014

I thought of another. It bugs me when people post on the name/sex thread just to say that they don't know the sex or the names yet (but aren't team green). Just wait until your A/S and post then! What a waste to post "I don't know!"

Total AW here, so I'm sure that will add me to someone's list, but I finally got my picture to work in my siggy! Now, hopefully, you guys will start to remember me. :-)

Really long posts, especially if it's bad writing. I don't have time to read all that, especially if your story is jumping all over the place and I feel like I need a plot diagram to decipher your post. #sorrynotsorry

emineminem · January 2014

I think it's been said, but it really bugs me when I see a question posted by a newb that we've already discussed three weeks ago.

THE SEARCH BUTTON IS YOUR FRIEND, NEWBS!! I'd rather see an old post bumped with new information than see the same things over and over.

Also, I'm between computers so I'm always on mobile and therefore have never seen your clever siggys, nor have I been able to create my own. I could barely change my ticker

can I wear pink on Wednesdays anyway?

TallMomma29 · January 2014

My biggest pet peeve is when someone defends their behavior here by saying something like, "I'm sorry! I don't sit around on the internet all day. I've got [a job, a kid, a house, other interests, whatever]." The rest of us are busy too, honey, and we can take 2 seconds to think before saying something stupid or asking a question that has already been asked 2,000 times.

ETA: pregnancy brain/fear of grammar wrath. I said "our" instead of "are" ;-)

hrgwu2006 · January 2014

I second (or probably 5th by this point!) the grammar issue. It only makes you look like a moron. And repeat questions suck as well. I'm a newb, but I've learned to use the search bar!

I lurk a lot. I think I am still sometimes in denial about being pregnant. Don't get me wrong - I am super thrilled, but I think I am way more nervous than I am willing to admit. Anyway, I've decided to get more involved in this group and stop being an onlooker, and I'm looking forward to getting to know you ladies better.

Oh, and if you tell me you don't want to do something or want to do something because Dr. Oz said so, I'm going to think you're an idiot.

Please enlighten me. What does that even mean?? I looked in the abbreviations thread long ago and it either wasn't listed or wasn't being used much so I didn't pay attention.

acciovino · January 2014

My pet peeve is towards myself. I can't get gifs to work nor can I get pics to work in my siggy.

I has a dumb.

ETA: I DID IT! I no longer has a dumb.

I feel like this is high school and I'm not invited to the cool kids table ... Oh, and I'm GIF challenged as well ...

"Shaking my head" - it annoys me too!!

I think I'm the 12th person to say this, but holy mother of pearl...GRAMMAR. Punctuation. Things that make you sound like an educated adult.

Also, people posting on a UO/FFFC post on the wrong days.

cookieinva · January 2014

Nothing that makes me ragey or anything, but I agree I pay less attention to posters who don't personalize and get tired of some of the same issues (eat the deli meat, realize people get fired up over sex/gender whether you agree or not, sorry still too early for a FB group, no I can't guess what you are having, etc). I also notice:

grammar mistakes (not just typos because I make those since my ipad hates me);

crazy long and/or redundant sig - one ticker per event/person is enough - plus it is just extra to scroll by;

and lastly, posters who take but don't give bug me.

ironically edited for crapy typing on my ipad; its like it does not like my fingers

I'm annoyed at how hooked on GIFs I am now since meeting y'all. I feel like every single response needs a gif. When I'm on mobile, I feel I can't reply until I get on my computer and pull up a clever gif. You are all GIF WHORES and now I am too!!

See... no relevance whatsoever I just have to gif.

rattlecanqueen · January 2014

It's in my end, but I don't work in an office and have one opportunity to check TB at work. It effing sucks bc i seriously can't make it past page 2 on epic threads...not that I contribute much anyway. But still, on our 4 week winter break I was able to keep up beautifully.

DANG IT. I was going to add you.

Yeah sure

Same here, I feel like I haven't been posting much lately because by the time I get on here most questions have been addressed with 20 answers and I get way behind on UO and FFFC.

I'm also irrationally annoyed by the frequent WFD posts. I think this is because I don't cook. I hate you cooking bishes, unless I can come over for dinner.

I also hate long posts ::eyes glazed over::

I'm saving my lovetits for someone special. But really, I'm totally stingy with my love. Actually I'm guilty of a lot of things on your list and I hate when these threads happen and people get butthurt and defensive over the things they happen to do, soo cutting that off now. @chickwhohatesmarcia, you are crazy because that shit is funny. I watch it at least 5 minutes a day. But no hard feelings. I find lots of gifs annoying. @Literachick, right back atcha. Certain people definitely let their personalities shine through on this board, and for anyone who feels like they aren't included, give it time. Not everyone had the amount of time that the "cool kids" do to sit around posting online. This was incredibly kumbaya of me to post on a pet peeves thread.

cuntasaurusrex · January 2014

God damn I cannot get line breaks on either cell or iPad to save my soul.

I really want to know what one looks like but I also really don't want to. I'M SCARED. I need an adult.

Clearly you need to quit working and get your ass into the kitchen with a Julia Child's cookbook.

AutumnBonfire · January 2014

I love GIFs in posts, but I hate them in siggies. They're funny once, not a hundred times. Plus they make me dizzy.

The acronyms bug me, although I use them because its just easier. I hate that I'm starting to think of my husband and my son as DH and DS in my head even when I'm not on here.

I love all the food threads. I get tired of the things I eat and cook and I'm always looking for inspiration. The newbie pregnancy questions don't bother me at all either. I just don't read them if I don't care. This is a pregnancy website, it is a confusing and bizarre nine months, and we all have questions at one point.

I don't own any pink.

I'll just put on my black clothes and sit by myself.

Do you know what fertile cervical fluid looks like (sorry to those who might be gaggin)? It's similar, often tinged with brown or pink.
If you don't it looks like egg white, but a mucous plug is cloudier.

Oh that's not so bad! I imagined this huge green mass. Kind of like Gak or Flubber.
