Honk if you...

[With apologies for this thread title]

Want to start a new thread, but think it's cute if you provide no clue as to the subject. Titles are there for a definite reason, please use them efficiently. Don't waste my time.

Also honk if you start a new thread titled like "Today the trains are late" but don't feel it necessary to specify what the date is. The subject usually fades quickly, but thread titles lasts for weeks sometimes.

Thanks,

MM, the Grouch

Sorry to say that you are wasting your time on MOL, not individual threads. It's amazing what you can get done when you aren't glued to MOL waiting for the next post or posting on threads that you have no interest in or just feel like telling the OP that they've wasted your time.

How do I honk my laptop??

HONK

My work email is worse. Today's subject lines included: "Announcement" and "For your files".

Also, we have weekly meetings on the calendar that were not taken down even though they have been canceled for the summer, and we have meetings that were set up either verbally or via email that no one has put on the calendar.... (I do not like Gcal -- it could be so much more useful/usable than it is).

My problem with thread titles like this is that I can never remember what they are about and so I open them again and again...

Oh and that's the point... just wasting time...

I honestly did that twice thinking the thread about "Nice nails" was about construction fasteners vs. painted finger nails. I was curious to find out what brands and types people like for their home improvement projects...

The weird thing is I will look at a thread title, remember that it was a thread I disliked, but open in anyway to remind myself WHY I disliked it because the title is so vague you can't tell from that.

*sigh*
