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.

That annoys me too, so does when someone doesn't finish a sentence. They'll say Do you want to go with? Ummm with who? Finish the sentence Grrrr.
ReplyDeletehaha! I don't think I've ever used it, unless in jest.
ReplyDeleteYou're cracking me up.
my husband says, "And go!" all the time and I agree that its just plain rude!
ReplyDeleteOmg!!! You seriously crack me up!!!!
ReplyDeleteI 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!!

ReplyDeleteI 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!

Oh no! Now this is going to bug me!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I haven't seen it anywhere yet! But now I probably will
ReplyDeleteIts ok to be old and cranky. It had better be, because that's how I am too.
ReplyDeleteThat 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!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this yet but yea, it would probably annoy me too.
ReplyDeleteYes annoying.. I have seen a question and then 'discuss' a bit better
ReplyDeleteheeheehee, I'll join your boycott! Why is there a need for a postscript to a simple question, anyway?
ReplyDeleteWait..what?
ReplyDeletefor 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" ;)
Glad I'm not the only one!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm showing my age here, but I haven't seen that... Nor do I understand what that actually means.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, that one never bothered me that much, but one that does is when people say something is a no brainer.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason it makes me think of an overzealous gym teacher trying to get a response out of bored students.
ReplyDeleteYikes, that would be really annoying.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, that's annoying. Totally unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteI'm cracking up at the above suggestion of peeing on FB statuses!!
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.
