Pet DU Peeve- Posting Threads About Some Event Without Giving ANY DETAILS
or any kind of explanation pointing to the subject at hand.

Example, "Leno Show Is Disgusting".

You open the thread and poster doesn't even give a CLUE what Leno said or did to warrant the thread.

If you start a thread about something- how about a brief explanation on what the HECK YOU"RE TALKING ABOUT.

end of my attempt at a very brief rant.

12. Yeah, it bugged me when all that stuff happened
with that guy. I mean, what were they thinking? No one wants to see that kind of thing on TV, do they? And what was up with the whatchamacallit in the back there? I tell you, never saw anything like it.

21. I only remember the one time, because, like, I was with that guy
who had that thing... and we were doing stuff, so I missed what the other guy said when he talked to the guy about things.

Good times...
