Random Irritations

[bobmac]

Guys, please refrain from political posts.

It's almost as bad as the ''Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you'' thread

Work apps for shifts. Utterly useless. My shifts changed twice in two days so I rearranged my week then everything got changed and I had to go in early today, albeit late, and told them they could shove the friday shift, as I had now made other plans. The systems that are used by Tesco are so outdated you'd think we were still in the early 1980s.

The amount of silly arguing and willy waving on the forum over the last few months. Seems every thread gets infected at some point nowadays.

Some people just love to argue.
And if there's nothing to argue about, they'll make a sweeping statement that they know will start an argument and off they go. Pathetic

The fact that it is damned difficult to buy a mask on the high street now as they all sold there stock off cheap in the Summer when rules were relaxed.

I knew the picture of Dando's masturbation trophy in the laughter thread would upset somebody

It's pretty much a law of nature that all internet forums start out as civilized discussion groups but eventually descend into a cesspit of squabbling.

English cricket.

Am I allowed to have that as a random irritation, or should I confine it to the Cricket 2021 thread?

I can't bear to go on the thread right now, probably not for the next 2 months either. If I read what is on there it will make it real. At the moment everything is happening overnight, I don't have BT sport, it can all be ignored, fingers in ears etc. I don't think we whould bother touring any more, too much pain.

The same tendency is there in the media as presenters vie for attention and politicians want publicity.

People, in general, have enough food and comfort so with time on their hands make mischief.

Alexander the Great had to keep his troops occupied by raping and pillaging to keep them from fighting each other- not a lot has changed.

Seat 4 taking -17k on the chase, even worse she got every question right and the chaser didnt!

At the top of your backswing on your shot to the green, and your playing partner picks up his clubs and all the irons rattle together. Big fat and ball goes nowhere.

Some people have absolutely zero self respect, I was stunned.

To be fair, it's nothing new. There's a sticky post from almost 4 years saying calm down as flaming, trolling and the like is on the rise. The forum really has lost it's way in recent times, with the banning of topics , which only served to cause some real quality posters to leave.

Yeah I know, iirc it was a small amount of threads before, it seems to be every thread now. People arguing the toss over 0.00001 or just shouting down people who don’t agree with their opinion. It’s boring and laughable in a way, like watching PM’s QT ??

To be honest when I was struggling with my mental health and took a sabbatical I didn't miss it as much as I thought I would. Having decided to come back, and having only been back a short while I am already questioning if its worth it all. A few (usual suspects) already posting disappointing comments (its banter!!) and I'm simply trying to let it flow and not let it get me down (getting harder day by day). Definitely not the place it was even 12 months ago but yet when you turn up at a meet it's a cracking day out. Very strange how people can behave on a keyboard and be so different in person
