So since I am a crotchety old woman stuck in a crotchety young woman's body, I have many pet peeves. However, I have a few that seem to be relatively Knot specific. And I'm sure you do as well. So share them with the group, and we can all be crotchety women together and feel bad for our respective husbands/FIs.
I absolutely hate when a convo on here goes as follows:
Knottie 1: "Insert non-controversial opinion/comment/idea here."
Knottie 2: "Insert 2+ paragraph flame on Knottie 1, making sure to throw in at least three snide and/or sarcastic remarks."
Knottie 1: "Reponse to Knottie 2, usually including at least one snide remark but nothing over the top."
Knottie 2: "OMG you're getting all worked up for nothing, chill out."
NO. NO YOU ARE WRONG. When you come out of the woodwork to flame-up somebody out of nowhere, and they respond in kind, you don't get to claim that they are getting all worked up for nothing. You're the one who started snarking it up first, don't get all uppity and condensending and trying to claim that they are the ones who are getting worked up for no reason when they respond in kind. Unless the person is advocating the kicking of puppies, or the re-installation of slavery, or honeymoon registries, you don't get to have a freak out and then try and act like you were calm and collected and not a bitch. This goes doubly when Knottie 1 is saying something a lot of other people in a thread have said, but gets singled out for no apparent reason.
If I wanted to hear the pitter-patter of little feet, I'd put shoes on the cat.
