Unnecessary quoting of posts and/or quoting whole posts without editing when you’re only responding to a small part, especially when the quoted posts are long.
Just too many posts lately, for my liking at least, where people responding to the post directly above them quote the post instead of using 
to show they’re responding to the above.
Or someone quotes a whole long post and they’re only interested in one sentence but don’t trim it down to just the bit they’re picking up on and want to respond to.
I find it annoying to scroll through pages that are full of quotes of the post above.
It is not necessary to quote every post you’re responding to all the time, it just creates more annoying scrolling.

Offline Yeah, but look at what happened in your post. If you had been replying to the person above you, that emoji would have only caused everybody else more work by having to go to the previous page in the thread.

If you’re responding to the 14th post on a page, as an example, no need to quote the post above unless you want to pick out a part of it.

I know that feeling…
I could never take this ritual seriously………..
When it was my turn to introduce myself to a new group…….I’d stand up. Solemnly say, ‘My is……………and I’m an alcoholic.’ And sit down.
Nearly always got a laugh….And then I’d look hurt.
I should say I’d reached a position by the time I was 27 where I didn’t really have to worry too much how my peers reacted………I can see now that I was a pain in the arse!!…….Although my intention was always just to ‘break the ice’ and have fun at these poe-faced gatherings.
You have to understand it was a different time……..Another world………I wouldn’t get away with it today.

Offline As someone who does not own a smartphone or anything like it, I hate it when I see commercials and such where they want you to download an app and then give exclusive deals for these people. It’s not fair for the rest of us. In general, I don’t like people who own certain technology to have a cultural advantage over us who don’t.
Another example of this is the way Uber is only available to smartphone users. You can’t call them on the phone to arrange a ride.

YES I hate this! It’s like you can’t be a person without a smart phone in today’s society…

Offline My dad went without a phone for years and years and a few months ago he finally broke down and got an iPhone and I can’t get used to it.
Pet peeve: the way some people just insist on making small talk because they can’t stand silence. I don’t want to talk about where I’m applying for college with every new person I meet.

Are you saying that there are smart phone owners whose sole intention of buying their smart phone was to have an advantage over people who don’t own one?

Offline No, it’s the media and corporations where I have my gripe. They assume that everybody has one and uses it regularly. They think something’s wrong with you if you don’t.
Another example is when there is a contest or special deal and they want you to text a word to a special number. The rest of us are SOL.
Still another example is the place where I get my haircut. They want you to enter a cell phone number when checking in. Landline phone won’t do.
I admit that I only have a basic cell phone with talk and text which I get free for being on Medicaid. No apps. No selfies. No fancy ringtones.
My first mistake was ignoring cell phones when they first came out. I considered them not relevant to my life. They were more for people who are on the road a lot for their job or travel often. I thought the majority of us would be content to wait till we got home for routine calls or use pay phones when necessary. I did not factor in teenagers when they got older.
My second mistake was ignoring iPhones when they came out. I was a PC user. Since that was made by Apple, I thought that was just for Mac users.
So now I’m way out of touch with modern technology.

No, that’s Alf. I am your friendly courier.
I’m happy to say you still buy paper tickets from that Beatle lookalike in the shop. No online orders. No etickets. All smartphones must be tossed in the dumpster before the magic trip begins.

But you can’t, @Jolly Jimmy!!!! It’s now a kebab shop!!!
My mate Ray lives in West Malling, so I’ve been in there, not a Beatle lookalike in sight, and no tickets for sale anymore…

Offline I guess that is why ticket sales have been down lately. I’m gonna have to have a talk with that dude.
I forgot to mention that there is no wi-fi on the bus either. You have to actually talk to each other. Or sing along with Shirley’s magic accordion.

Pretty much everybody does have one, though. Companies do things through text and apps because that’s the way to reach the most people nowadays. From a marketing standpoint, that’s what makes the most sense. It has nothing to do with trying to “leave out” those who are not up to date on current technology.

Offline It has been known been to occur, @AppleScruffJunior, that I have wandered in there hoping for something magical to roll up and take me away.
The man behind the counter says, “You look more like him than I do!” which distracts me and ten to twenty minutes later, depending on the kebab and because we are both together, I have emerged with a kebab of one sort or another. Much to my shame.
The airfield is now a business park where I have to go for my medicals when the Government want to decide if I’m still ill.
