People put so much superfluous information in post

[eightangryreindeer]

in posts sometimes.

Stuff that has nothing to do with what they are actually seeking advice on, but that lends so much nuance to their motivations and feelings.

Hey! Appreciate the backstory. It helps waste time while at work!

Besides, I may not have been given real responses. I didn't want smoke blown up my ass, I wanted an outside opinion on whether or not I was being an ass. If I had only written the bottom half, I think those answers would have been different.

There's a correlative over representation of "the others" being always on drugs, having committed felonies, are users, abusers of government/familial systems, basic fuck ups, etc, while they're always right and true and upstanding and never did any of the above.

The correlation is stronger when people aren't agreeing with you.

Truth.

The dinosaur romper thing is weird. I hate dinosaur rompers.

Amount of superfluous back story is in direct relationship to the level of bitterness held by the OP. Also, I had no idea people worried about shit so much. I'm glad I am oblivious! Dinosaur shit for everyone and I will believe you LOVE it!

I hate cutesy stuff, too, but I sometimes feel pressure to put him in that shit because people buy it for him.

Yes,everyone needed to know this.

yeah, i give people these baby blankets that i loved (often) because i'm all 'OMG, THERE IS NO ONE ON EARTH WHO COULDN'T BENEFIT FROM THESE AMAZING PIECES OF FABRIC.' apparently once this was perceived to be undermining the quilt that someone's sil made. whoops.

not that i'd ever met the sil before, knew her hobbies, knew she was making a quilt, or cared.

Verbosity sucks.

I've actually found myself editing this shit out a lot. Not in my rants but I often go back and say "nah, not needed."

Ugh, yes, and I'm getting more and more ornery in my old age b/c I have less and less patience for it.

Ha, as if I own the board or something!

I thought this thread would be about mamasaurus.

Just for the record, my kid has zero dino rompers. I can list the rompers she does have if you like, but I'll have to look up what kinds of flowers are on the floral print ones because I'm not really up on my botany.
