As I surf the interwebs, there ARE times when I actually will read the comment sections of certain stories. I don't know WHY I do this, as I usually just get frustrated and angry by the idiots who comment. Yet, I read. (I'm afraid I might have masochistic tendencies. ;)) One thing that you find out very quickly is that there are only a few comments that get recycled over and over again. And Linda Holmes over at NPR noticed this same thing when it comes to the inevitable 'year-end' lists we'll be inundated with shortly and wrote an article about it: 'The 20 Unhappiest People You Meet In The Comments Sections Of Year-End Lists.'
Here are a few of my 'favorite' commentators:
7. The Self-Punisher. "I always hate your tastes, so I knew this would be a miserable and useless list before I decided to click on it and read the whole thing, and now I know I was right."
11. The Person Who Thinks You Were So Close. "I like all these picks, but you ranked The Descendants as your #4 and Martha Marcy May Marlene as your #5, and they should be the other way around. FAIL."
14. The Minimalist. "These blow."
Too funny! For the rest of the list, go
here.
I never will understand why people feel the need to disagree with other people, especially when it's a matter of opinion.
ReplyDeleteI tried looking at that Knitting with Dagmar thing but all it seems to be is a picture of someone's hands knitting. I'm disappointed-I expected more!
I really think that the reason for the internet is to give some people a place to be disagreeable. And they HAVE to do it anonymously because if they were that ornery in real life, someone would bop them in the nose!
ReplyDeleteI didn't try looking at Dagmar's knitting--I actually figured it was a joke and didn't really exist. :D
those are hilarious. I love how people like to argue behind ANONYMOUS names. Ahahahahhahaha.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love how people make the same comments on ALL of the sites--and think they are so clever and original!
ReplyDeleteOr maybe it's the same person, leaving the same comments because he/she thinks it's such a good, snarky comment!
ReplyDeleteSo true.
