Things That Annoy Me Thursday: Saying "AND GO!" when asking a question

I'm part of several Facebook groups.

I've noticed lately when people ask questions, they'll end it with "AND GO!" For instance, "Where can you get the best Mexican food? And GO!!!!"

This makes me NOT want to go.

Don't ask for restaurant suggestions and end with "AND GO!" It seems slightly rude to me. We aren't in a race.

Someone else was all, "What movie should I see with my husband? AND GO!"

No, dammit.

Just say, "What movie should I see with my husband tonight? Thank you."

Don't tell me to go.

Or I will, literally.

Why is this a new thing? Why are people actually commenting when they're told to go? Maybe if people added, "And go PLEASE" it wouldn't come across as irritating.

I'm just old and cranky, I suppose. I notice it's a lot of the young people who post "AND GO!" at the end of their questions. Maybe it's a new under 25 thing?

So yes, I'm refusing to comment on questions with "AND GO!" at the end of them.

Because I'm old and cranky.

  5. I haven't seen the "and go" just "go" which I guess is the same. I'm not sure why that got started - now I'm sure I will be even more aware of that when I scroll around FB!!

  7. I don't think I've seen 'And go!' used before on Facebook (thankfully), but if I did, my reaction would probably be the same as yours!

  10. Its ok to be old and cranky. It had better be, because that's how I am too.

  11. That sounds like something a game show host would do. Crazy! Mine is when people insert "you know" in the middle of sentences. If I knew, then you wouldn't have to tell me in the first place!

  12. I haven't seen this yet but yea, it would probably annoy me too.

  13. Yes annoying.. I have seen a question and then 'discuss' a bit better

  14. heeheehee, I'll join your boycott! Why is there a need for a postscript to a simple question, anyway?

  15. Wait..what?
    for real?
    no.no. that's what you say to the dog in the morning when it's really cold outside and you want him to "GO!!!!"
    rude.
    if only you could "pee" on a Facebook post instead of "like" ;)

  16. I guess I'm showing my age here, but I haven't seen that... Nor do I understand what that actually means.

  17. Hahaha, that one never bothered me that much, but one that does is when people say something is a no brainer.

  18. For some reason it makes me think of an overzealous gym teacher trying to get a response out of bored students.

  19. Yikes, that would be really annoying.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I'm with you, that's annoying. Totally unnecessary.
    I'm cracking up at the above suggestion of peeing on FB statuses!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hilarious! I haven't seen that, but I know I will now. And I am the same way, if you are telling me what to do, I am probably losing interest.
