Sometimes I find myself getting inexplicably sidetracked by scrolling through hundreds of comments on blog posts or news articles I find intriguing.
This happens often enough that I would consider myself a pro comment reader. (I don’t know whether to be proud of this status or whether to put myself in timeout for being the queen of free-time suckage.)
At any rate, there are a several types of comments I see over and over again that make me want to stab my computer, pull my hair out and revoke my membership to the human race. Here are a few of them.
The 5 Worst Commenters on the Internet
- Hi! I love your blog. Check mine out! {stupid link here, usually in another color}
- How dare you forget my favorite band on this highly subjective best-of list? Don’t you know that you must have my exact same taste in music in order for me to take you seriously?!
- I can’t believe you imbeciles wrote an article about this completely un-newsworthy celebrity (never mind that I clicked on it via my own free will).
- This completely unrelated post totally justifies my racist/sexist/elitist/political views, and allow me to reiterate them here in the comments because this is the perfect soapbox for my pathetic cause.
- Anyone who comments on Yahoo! News articles or YouTube videos, ever.
