What are the most annoying threads on CC?

Parent Cafe
2821

sometimes a snowflake is just a snowflake, and wants to vent drama.

What is really happening vs. what is being portrayed in the post may bear little to no resemblance to reality.

Like the one where it seemed like the stepdad was controlling every facet of the kid’s life, but when posters asked a few more questions it looked a lot more like he was just trying to establish residency in the state to save money. He went from being the devil to being frugal in about 3 posts, lol…

They ask questions, we answer them through our own lens. It’s up to them to get butthurt or not.

Threads that are obviously international students who don’t want to say that they are and they feel they are meant to attend a top tier school for a full ride with average stats.

2823

Threads were OP says chance me. I got a 1050 on my SAT but my next test will be 1550.

2824

I had to go look at that thread. . .energizer bunny of meltdown.

If I could have one feature added to CC, it would be an automatic filter for “Am I ruined?” or “Am I doomed?” threads that automatically responded “Yes! You will forever be a failure.” as one hyperbole deserves another.

2825

My own threads as I tend to get wordy, offering up details of my perception of the situation before cutting to the chase and just stating the issue or opinion in the simplest of terms…

You see? #-o

Students who can’t oayna dime for college, And who are looking for private loans to pay the full cost of attendance someplace…or close to it…oh and can they get private loans with no U.S. citizen cosigner?

Oh…and family in income is $20,000 a year…but they only need $30,000 a year in loans!

2827

Chance me threads where the poster refers us to his other threads to view his stats.

2828

This is new to me but I’ve decided I get very annoyed by threads discussing rankings. Now there are threads discussing conglomerating rankings and come up with new rankings. GRRRR

2829

Any time someone wants to redesign the whole admissions process rather than dealing with the one we have now (which is admittedly far from perfect and could use redesigning). “What if AOs didn’t look at grades and only read essays?” etc.

2830

Lately, ‘how can I get into a top XX when I didn’t do jack during high school?’ Can I pull off a last minute (whatever?)
NO.

2831

I sometimes wonder if there should be a cap on thread length, perhaps 20 pages. After a certain point threads either tend to veer way off course or go around in circles. The ones I really wonder about are when the OP asks for advice and never posts again.

2832

Some of us would be cut off without the long running conversations, lol.

2833

When the same poster starts 6 different threads, with the heading and original post of each thread written entirely in a foreign language.

2834

@TooOld4College wrote

Oh yeah; there are days where I want to report myself.

2835

The ones where the obvious answer is “it depends, call the school.”

2836

Shutting down threads where the answer is “it depends” would significantly reduce traffic here.

2837

Any thread which has the sentences “Please help! I didn’t apply to any safety school!” in it.

2838

^^ Especially if a later post by the OP in that same thread says that they got into the University of [compass direction+state], but don’t want to go there, so it doesn’t count.

2839

Ugh. Anyone else being annoyed by the new, giant banner ads on their cell? The take up half my screen, pushing out posts.

^ Yes!
