We all have them, whats yours?

Mine has to be the amount of threads that people start that look like they're going to be interesting or entertaining involving the OP in some real life situation and then you never hear the outcome or any updates after day 1 (there is a good example on page 1 as we speak that someone has bumped asking for updates)

People that start pointless arguments which leads to a good thread being closed. Pretty much like what Supercars Spotted will be soon.

How every thread ends up becoming one of the 'classic' debates.

people whose only contribution is a "rant rating" out of 10. No explanation, no feeling or support, just a rating. Worthless in every context

Then the "wit" of some, who will rate what I have just written above. This "wit" also extends to other areas of the forum, but it isnt witty. Or clever.

The poor performance of the site in general, what I mean about that is the amount of bugs it seems to have, the amount of times I have security warnings, the crashes.

This isn't just a PH thing but people who hold an unswerving and immutable opinion on something which they like to relay at every opportunity regardless of their actual experience of the thing in question.

car clitches about driving/feel, exaggerations about mpg etc

Angry people who take offense that you even start a thread, instead of googling the answer.

The egos that because they have been spouting st for 10 years think their words hold more gravitas.

Well recently I was not very appreciative of some of the response I got to a thread I started. I possibly asked a question that people thought was obvious but I wasn't aware of this .... Which is why I asked. I've seen it b4 and doesn't apply to most users who are very friendly but I don't like the small minority who criticise or are abrupt and aggressive with there contribution. It's like we tell children at school, if u have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.

The fact that the search facility seems to be permanantly broken. I'm of the minority who prefer to do their own research rather than post up the same repetitve drivel everyday. Probably a ploy by PH to keep the site alive and the money rolling in.
I see the spellling police as educational and would much rather have someone point out where i'm going wrong rather than blythly carrying on coming across as an uneducated chav.
