Why... why on earth do people do that..? 😁

Honestly, I find it just plain gross 😛
It feels depressing, lifeless, completely closed off, and there's just so much else about it that I can't stand 😍

Or maybe even worse! 😂

They remind me... of Steve from... Malcolm in the Middle... 😳😳

And I really don't enjoy messaging people who, even setting aside everything I mentioned above, insist on putting way too many periods in their sentences

Good grief, just starting this thread feels exhausting...
La la la la 🙂

Negooo... Is it just me getting irritated, or 🍿

I bet I’m not the only one who finds this kind of thing a little irritating.

🙂 A lot of people tell me I obsess over the little things—specifically those 😁 points

But honestly? They aren't just little things... 🙂 I wonder how many of us actually get frustrated by that 🍿

😁

I'm not usually one to get worked up over small stuff, but seeing people swap out a "W" for a "V" just absolutely kills me. I honestly can't wrap my head around why some women insist on those kinds of pedantic little habits 🤷

I’ve noticed a few guys who tend to pee like that too 🤣 🙂 😂

Maybe those little details just get under the skin of people who are more visual 🤔

I mean, I guess those little dots might drive someone crazy if they’re the type who needs everything to look pretty and visually perfect, right? 🤔

But then again, it’s pretty obvious that people who are blind aren't exactly out there reading visual layouts, are they? 🤔

(Honestly, I bet it would actually be even more infuriating for them when they go to feel a piece of print and just end up fumbling over three random little dots.
Because at the end of the day, their entire alphabet is basically just a collection of bumps, isn't it? 🤔😬)

🤣

Whenever I see someone with a ton of exclamation points, I can't help but pick up on a certain vibe...
It isn't necessarily a bad one, just maybe a bit lazy or even a little depressed. 😁

For me, it's definitely 😱

Whenever I see someone covered in tons of punctuation marks—like, right off the bat—I can't help but get this weird, nagging feeling that the person just has bad vibes.
It’s not even necessarily "evil" vibes, you know? It's more like they're just lazy, or maybe they're stuck in some sort of depressive funk or something. 😁

To me, it's just 😱

Honestly, I think you're overthinking it.
Don't judge a book by its cover, and don't judge a person by their punctuation.
Who knows, maybe they just want to be...

...dramatic 😬

EDIT: Or maybe they're just poorly articulated. If that's the case, then yeah, I totally get where you're coming from. 🤣

That’s me! Look, I’m trying to kick the habit, but it’s a process, alright? It doesn't just happen overnight. image 😬

Honestly, though, I never realized it rubbed people up the wrong way quite this much. I get why the trolls and those little assholes find it annoying, though. Personally, I get an instant gag reflex whenever I see people writing like that. 😳

Personally, I find those three points quite compelling... there is a certain elegance in how they interconnect... they possess a certain aesthetic harmony, if you will.

In any event, I am of the opinion that they certainly did not merit your attention.

It’s not even the fact that people keep mentioning the sidewalk that gets under my skin... it’s that they keep bringing up... intersections. Honestly, I get the feeling they’re just bored out of their minds while they're messaging me, seeing stuff like that in a text

copperscout30 said:It’s not even the fact that people use "Sidewalk" that gets under my skin. It's when they start using "Multi-way intersection"... honestly, I feel like they're just getting bored while we're chatting if I see that in a message

Yeah yeah yeah!!!! Exactly 😍

Or take this, for example:

"I'm writing in purple ink because... I like it... and I don't know why we can't all write in purple ink... 🙂" 😁

That just feels so lifeless and dull and... unfinished 😁

Look, I use "Sidewalk" too, and sometimes it really is necessary 🙂 😂

BUT this is just overkill 😛

Honestly... I get way more frustrated by people who don't bother using a single period, comma, colon, question mark, or exclamation point...

Sidewalk expresses a dramatic pause in speech...

If you see too many of them in a sentence, then it’s just plain old stuttering.
But if you run into those endlessly stretching ............ ellipses, it means the author was just too incredibly lazy to lift their finger off the key in time, or maybe they even hit backspace a few times too many.

Dots are great, though. Without them, nothing would work, and poor blind folks wouldn't be able to enjoy some casual reading in the Restroom or wherever else.

So, did you end up stumbling blindly around like a drunkard trying to count his own toes? 😛 😬

EDIT: Or perhaps they're just being vague. If that's the case, I get where you're coming from 🤣

Alright, maybe my associations are off because those little dots don't feel dramatic to me at all 😬 😂

And I'm not a fan of vagueness either 🙂

But honestly, there are plenty of people on this forum who, in my opinion, really go overboard with those ellipses...
I don't think what I did was rude 🙂, BUT I felt the need to point out 😁

No offense intended to anyone who writes like that 🙂 but to me, it feels like someone's running out of steam...

Sarah Williams4 said:Honestly, were you just stumbling around blind and seeing double like some drunk guy at a dive bar? 😛 😬

Once, back in the day, right over by Times Square—you know, near that old corporate building on Vartek—there was this one specific pillar used for posters (it’s leaning against that old Vlach building on Shakespeare Street).
There was this total drunk stumbling all around it, just slamming his fist against the thing and screaming, "Let me out!"

OT: So, when does an argument actually become valid? 🤷

Yeah! 😱 (🙂)

Well... .................................. 😂😂😂😂

I hate myself for this 🙂

Anyway, speaking of being blind, Once I was bored during a lecture, so I used a hole puncher to poke holes in my notebook cover and tried to read through them. It's difficult and, frankly, IRRITATING 😛

Hahaha 😁 I've got my fingers crossed that you can beat it!!! 🎉 😬 😂
But I honestly never realized it bothered people that much. For those trolls and similar nonsense, I get it. I immediately feel a gag reflex toward people who write like that... : o :zu bo:

Well, there are more of us 🙂

For instance, if you post something on Facebook and someone comments something like:
"Cool..."

I instantly picture that, first off, they didn't actually listen, and second, they wrote it while being in such a hateful mood that they basically spat on my song 😍 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y_KJAg8bHI 🙂

So image 😁
