In browsing the Blogosphere lately, I’ve run into some really obnoxious crap, and wonder if I’m just crabby beyong belief, or if this stuff is as annoying as I think it is. I wasn’t going to write about this at first, for fear of alienating all those people out there who are visiting my blog for the first time, but then I decided that I can live with it.
Blogs I won’t go back to:
1. Mommy goes on and on about trivial crap their kid does that annoys them. Yeah, I have a kid too. They all do it. It isn’t interesting.
2. Person whines about …. well…. anything. No whining!
3. Person advertises humor blog, but then lapses into blah blah blah about how their life sucks. (See #2).
4. Details about surgery / medical procedures / bowel movements / you get the picture. We. Don’t. Want. To. Know. If you write about crap like that, please don’t advertise your blog on one of the big blog networks as “funny stories about life”. Your ass isn’t as funny as you think it is.
5. Blog posts are 30 paragraphs long. This isn’t literature, and it isn’t ace reporting… it’s you talking about yourself. It’s like having an annoying aquaintence that talks incessantly and doesn’t even pause for breaths to let you get a word in edgewise.
So is it just me? Or do these things annoy you too?
Don’t worry.. I’ll go back to being funny tomorrow. ![]()

Um, so would your post be classed as a whine then…?
Just kidding… I hate all that stuff too.
Note to self: scrub next 2000 word blog entry about daughter’s constipation making my life miserable…
No, it is really annoying. These are things that people should know if they are looking for return visitors.
jayne,
i would like to add one to the list. ugly, ponderous blogs written by guys about their sexual exploits and caveman ways. and somehow they think it is funny and/or interesting. to some extent i think they put the bitter in women.
thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment. it’s your lucky day. when i find the gray jacket, you get it first for one week. if you should wander by again, try a search on “keaton” … i think you’ll like the posts.
best of luck with your blog, it’s a funny read!
My ass might not be funny; but this one time I got a Blue Beaver Beer bottle stuck on my big toe. I had to have it surgically removed. Then I wrote a thirty paragraph post about it on my blog.
Damn…I am so sorry. I just had a post where I talked about my bowel movements or accidental ones anyway. I guess I didn’t realize that there is a point where you can be too honest. Thanks for bringing it too my attention in that lovable yet sarcastic way you have.
I came by because you visited me first and I must say I have been laughing my ass off for the past 15 minutes. You are priceless. Ill keep coming back and checking on you even though you pegged me on a couple things on your list of things you hate on a blog. I have thick skin…..::sniff::
Bye
Isn’t anyone going to ask how Ernie got that bottle stuck on his toe? His ass sometimes is really funny! You see, there he was with his…. well, maybe I better get permission to tell this first.
You speak the truth
, as a write this, im slightly frightened by one the google ads for a Jesus Army!?…gosh sounds scarey…yet in a kind way
And the pet blogs.
If you think you don’t care about their kids, wait until you read a tear-soaked essay on how long it has taken Newt to adjust to the new apartment.
Great blog! I loved this article, I had to be sure to vote for you on Digg and others. Too too funny but oh so true. Now I gotta go and split up some of my long pesky blogs haha
Annoying: People. That. Write. Like. This.
Don’t worry about it. I do it too.
Then there’s the sick offspring of #s 1 & 4: The potty-training blogs. I have come across more than one mama who apparently thinks the whole Net wants to see her toddler sitting on a plastic potty.
I also have a personal peeve: specialty blogs that talk about random things. I have a crochet blog, and I try to be scrupulous about keeping it about, well, crochet. (Even my pregnancy has been talked about in crochet terms.) I go to craft blogs to read about crafts, not how crushed you are since your cat died. (Unless you crafted it a coffin.)
I am just lol! Good post!
Anna
Well said! I ramble now and then tho, so don’t bring the hate
My whole blog is one big whine, mostly about my cats, haha…
It won’t offend me if people never come back though because I blog mostly as an outlet for my whining so I don’t care if people really read it or not…
And if you’re wondering why I’m responding to a post from August it is because it was linked as a “Related Post” to a more recent one… which is cool, because if not for that I may have missed this… (I’m a new subscriber)
I wish you had the “Subscribe to Comments” plugin installed here because not only am I whiny, I’m downright lazy!
I agree with almost all of that! Especially bowel movements (Although some of the more outrageous medical issues can be interesting to read)
Hey, how about people who post an entire song’s lyrics in their blog? Who actually reads those anyway? Does anyone give a shit?
