 10. Blog hawking (I know, I know, we're supposed to be nice.)

 9. Run-on, single-paragraph posts

 8. Pings to Jim Robinson with kiss ass complements

 7. Posting "hugh and series", "stuned beeber" or "Bush's fault"

 6. A post asking a noOb if they are sure they're logged in

 5. Passive-aggressive keyword epithet war

 4. Satire posts that fool you (the rest are hilarious)

 3. Viking Kitties (just kidding... love ya'... really...  who'd poke fun at you...  rah roh.)

 2. Vanities

 1. ...

Add your favorites. Maybe some of the adds will be funny. P.S. The reason I wrote this was because I was irritated by 5.

1. Re-posts

[icwhatudo]

We are your overlords.

IBTZ!

Mormon cult updates.

[mnehring]

Stop global whining.

All of those could be solved with one thing- don’t look at what bugs you. If you don’t like blog pimps, don’t read them. If you don’t like ass kissing, ignore it.

[ari-freedom]

People who always complain about duplicate posts

Ask and ye shall receive.

[jonrick46]

Pit bull posts. They scare my doggy and, after reading them late at night, I have nightmares about them all night.

[ari-freedom]

Not being able to edit a post (especially after it turns out your link doesn’t work)

[HerrBlucher]

How about “we are so screwed.”

[ari-freedom]

[Paladin2]

W’s fault.

[Bad Jack Bauer]

Helen Thomas picture posts on threads about attractive women ‘for balance’

Posting a Helen Thomas pic is the equivilent of a surprise nuclear attack. There is no counter balance to that. My dad commentted about Helen Thomas once before he died. He said, "That woman must have some beautiful sisters and handsome brothers cause she soaked up all the ugly that family had."

[ari-freedom]

argh see what I mean?

[taraytarah]

My point exactly. Let me re-post with more clarity:

1. Already posted.

[Paladin2]

Letterman top 10 posts.

[Boucheau]

A supposed pro-capitalist group that complains about “blog pimps” all the time. It’s 2010, and blogs are here to stay.

No, I don’t have a blog...anymore.

[Zetman]

When someone posts “And so it begins...”.

[TexasTransplant]

Vanities (People that have that much time on their hands just make me jealous)

TT

[Atticus]

Reminds of the days when the news of any death, no matter where and no matter what the cause, was greeted on FR with the phrase “Arkancide?”

[ari-freedom]

[icwhatudo]

12. Attacks on Mormons (Im not one)
13. Attacks on Catholics (I am one and I do attack CINOS)
14. Updates on Birth Certificate issues that are nothing more than You Tube Videos (I do want to see the long form one)
15. Links to “Incredible developments” in birth certificate cases that are nothing more than routine filings or someone put something on a calendar. ( I never can read those legal forms that get linked quid pro curiouso laviticus)
16. Flame wars against anyone who dares question something Palin or Rush has done. (I support both but everyone makes mistakes)
17. The “I got this in my email” stuff that is easy shot down by using Snopes.
18. The “Snopes is a liberal site” reply you get after you shoot something down.
19. People that have been around here since 98 that think they know better than others.

Guilty / not guilty / I’d hit it posts.

Although on the rare occasion when the shoe is on the other foot (Scott Brown centerfold or in uniform) ...

[glasseye]

“Already posted”

*Ding ding ding*....we have a winner!

[CaribouCrossing]

#8 (there’s only ONE God) and the predictable comments posted after news articles are posted. Far too often no mention is made of the content of the article, only a bunch of predictable bloviating on the headline that someone took the time to read.

[boatbums]

Helen Thomas picture posts on threads about attractive women ‘for balance’ Ask and ye shall receive.

You know, I think she must have actually posed for that "Witch Head nebulla" thingy NASA showed:

[Quix]

INDEED . . .

I think my addition might be . . .

Whiners diligently searching out things to be offended by with annoying regularity.

However, since my scroll button works, they are not a significant problem.

[JasonC]

Seconded. Also, a supposedly pro capitalist group that spews endless hatred for rich bankers...

[ari-freedom]

Threads that change the original title of the article.

Posts that take a million years to scroll that have really nothing to do with the original thread and are posted on every other thread.

[CaribouCrossing]

Yep

[JRios1968]

Rove, you magnificent bastard!

[CaribouCrossing]

“*Ding ding ding*....we have a winner!”

That comment alone should be in the top 10.

[latina4dubya]

Posting "hugh and series", "stuned beeber"

those never get old... and neither do "hold muh-beer," alerts...

[SkyDancer]

Take all those away plus what was posted will give us blank pages on threads ...

[Uncle Miltie]

Posts with a link but no discernable subject.

[Vanbasten]

Threads that criticize Freepers for seemingly no reason at all. Threads that state the blatantly obvious(we all hate McCain). Threads that lack the patience required to be a forum moderator....err ignoring patience once again. Threads that criticize conservatives....

I guess that sums it up. When you come to FR, you don’t expect to be attacked by your own people. But here we have it...as inside joke funny as it may be...guess that’s my point.

[flaglady47]

“19. People that have been around here since 98 that think they know better than others.”

I resemble that remark.

[Irish Rose]

Referring to GWB as “Jorge” Bush

Complaining about George Bush’s attempted immigration bill every time his name comes up in the conversation

We all know the physical tics in other people that, while not wrong, just drive us crazy. Now we’re discovering the Internet tics.

[valkyry1]

I’d hit it. But then it hasnt gotten old for me.

[JRios1968]

Someone already posted a list like that here...

[Kirkwood]

It all grows old, but yet I love the smell of Zot.

[latina4dubya]

Although on the rare occasion when the shoe is on the other foot (Scott Brown centerfold or in uniform) ...

or Matthew McConaughey...
