I think I am anti randoms thread

I say disobey the randoms convention and post your own shit.

I like the randoms thread. I am lazy and I can read through stuff quickly. If people are posting a whole bunch of random threads I normally don't click on them. Seriously how fucking lazy am I?

My stuff is usually too boring for its own post. See my FB feed share.

(I hate that phrase but it popped in my head and must be used)

Really, everything is a random.

I see the randoms post as fishing for something to talk about.

I find them tiresome too - too many posts without connection all lumped together. I don't usually bother reading. Most of the time,  if I have some non sequitur to post I just throw it out there solo anyways. Every now and then, there will be something incredibly petty or mundane that it annoys even me. Then I'll search for a random to throw it in to so that I can get it out of my head without anyone having to read it.

Really?  When I start them it's for truly random things and not fishing.

I also stop reading randoms threads after a certain point, if I even read them at all, so I might be missing some good stuff!

Same here.  I find that if I don't start reading them when they are started that I just can't get into them.

And really no one wants me to start a separate post because I am going to make carrot cake cupcakes today. Right?

me too.  I usually only go back if someone references something crazy that happened.  Otherwise, I get bored.

I never really read them until last night. I was sort of surprised what was going on in there...

LOL that isn't typical. The morning randoms are normally just talking about the nights before or what is going on that day. The sort of stuff you would talk about around the water cooler.

Haven't many of these random threads turned into focusing on something to talk about....5-8 pagers?

Just like the flamefuls.

THIS BELONGS IN A RANDOM!

I have an idea. Subject related randoms? A food randoms, a child randoms, a work randoms, a relationships randoms. So it's focused, but in one place.

[silva]

I tried that with a "Today's minor regret" thread.

  meh, I'm up for anything.

Sometimes I think about making a random post about something but then I assume no one will read it so I just throw it in a randoms thread.

I'm also not interesting right now lol

[stephlove]

Sometimes when I see an extra long randoms thread, I get excited thinking that something drama filled happened. And then I go and read it, but nothing good happens. It's all randoms.

This is what happens to me. 

They just get too long - and if a conversation starts about one random I can't follow it well because there's other randoms randomly throw in and then I don't know who's talking to who and it makes my head hurt...
