Just looking at what we are discussing and I see the question " what do I use to stick pages together" automatically I think to myself ill go in there an reply "glue" . Sounds obvious enough then you go in and read the question and realise your answer would be completely different. Does this happen to you??

Yes. If a thread says "am I the only one" I always want to go in and reply "Yes, you are the only person on the entire planet that has ever thought that, you are a unique special little snowflake" I have to keep my inner b**ch under control.

How grand it must be, to be the chosen one...
Whenever I see a thread entitled, "Am I being precious?", in my head I think, "Yes, you probably are..."

QUOTE (Greenbag* @ 10/12/2012, 12:01 PM) OP, my first thought for that thread title was 'semen'. But I'm gross like that. And also this. Threads that are titled "Why do peopl (insert daft thing here)" always give me the urge to answer "because they are douchecanoes". But there are plenty of slightly ambiguous thread titles on here that don't quite reflect the true content of the thread, so yeah, it happens all the time.

Stressed....Whose Stressed...Who Said That!
When I asked the question, I knew the answer would be 'glue' Its hard sometimes to ask a question in the title, as you want to let people know what the thread is about, but you also don't want to have to repeat yourself in the description either. I do like some of the threads that reading the title you either have to go into it to find out what its about, or you go in thinking of your answer and its not what you thought Oh and as for the semen idea. None here to use, so that's out, plus it makes the pages wrinkle up Lynn
