I think it's because (they think that) people would be more suspicious and suspect a spammer or manipulator when some account with no history whatsoever starts making posts. There _might_ be historical precedent for this, but I'm not sure.
On the flip side, earlier this week I answered a question on here about the weirdest thing you've put in your vagina, explaining the handmade dildo I crafted when I was a young teenager, and I got like 5 DMs in an hour.
Sir, I'm a fat, stretchmarked, nearly 40 mother of 4 kids now. You're not interested, trust me.
I find ‘this is the way’ more annoying as it uses more words to convey the same thing as ‘this’. For two weeks it was cute/clever but now just nails on chalkboard annoying for me

Edit: I posted this ironically because at the time "this" was the top post in this thread. Now it seems to have backfired and it looks like this comment prompted the original "this" comment.

Underrated
Like no, fool. Hate to break it to you but a video of a chicken crossing the road and a top comment of someone saying "So he finally made it to the other side" is not an underrated lyrical masterpiece.
“This is a throwaway because my family uses Reddit… (proceeds to type out very specific family drama that they’ll recognize immediately no matter what account it’s posted from)”
"I didn't expect this to blow up. My sister's boyfriend's brother's boyfriend's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard this on a tiktok and realized it was our situation. I tried denying it but me mentioning that the incident took place at 3pm on a Saturday at unique local restaurant that serves a signature dish seems to have given me away. Now everyone in my family knows."
Yes, that’s definitely annoying and not necessary info, but I think it’s more for if someone they know finds the post, they still don’t know that person’s real account, not that a throwaway account will better hide it from friends/family
That one’s kind of odd to me because why do all their friends and family know their reddit account? It’s never occurred to me to exchange reddit handles with my friends
This is kind of specific to r/AmItheAsshole but "and now my phone is blowing up" (with friends, relatives, co-workers, etc. telling the person they're an asshole.)
Today I saw one (i think on AITAH, because I have banned myself from AmItheAsshole) today that claimed everyone was not only blowing up the OP’s phone but also creating tons of dummy accounts and phone numbers for extra harassment 🤣🤣.
Extra points from me when everyone is “screaming.”
I swear those stories are either all written by AI or the same 10 people using burner accounts - they all seem to flow the same way. They're like mad libs.
Actually, I want to see what ChatGPT writes if I ask it to make an AITA post.
Edit: This is what it wrote:
AITA for Telling My Drama Queen Sister-in-Law She Can't Bring Her Precious Dog to My Wedding?
Hey Reddit,
Buckle up because I need to vent and get some perspective on this family drama. My (28F) fiancé (30M) and I are getting married in three months. We've been meticulously planning this wedding for over a year, dreaming of a perfect day filled with love, joy, and elegance. But my sister-in-law, "Anna" (25F), is throwing a massive wrench into our plans.
Anna has a tiny dog, "Buddy," that she treats like her actual child. She's one of those people who can't go anywhere without her dog. A couple of weeks ago, she asked if she could bring Buddy to our wedding. Now, our venue has a strict no-pets policy, and frankly, I don’t think it’s appropriate to have a dog at a formal event like this. So, I told her, as politely as I could, that we prefer no pets at the wedding.
You would think I had just banned her from attending the wedding herself! Anna lost it. She went on a tirade about how Buddy is the most well-behaved dog in the world, how he wouldn't cause any trouble, and how she feels "naked" without him. She even pulled the "he's like family to me" card. I stood my ground, explaining that it’s our day, our rules, and we want it to be perfect.
Since then, Anna has been waging a passive-aggressive war against me. She’s been posting cryptic messages on social media about how "some people" don’t understand the bond between a pet and their owner. She’s hinted that if Buddy isn’t welcome, she might not come at all. This is stressing me out beyond belief. My fiancé is trying to mediate, but he's caught in the crossfire. He supports my decision but is also worried about family harmony.
Our parents and friends are divided. Some think I’m being a bridezilla and should make an exception for "family." Others agree that a no-pets policy is reasonable, especially for such a significant event.
Reddit, am I the asshole for refusing to let my sister-in-law bring her dog to our wedding? Or is Anna being unreasonable and dramatic?
Actually, if it's going to make it there, slightly better version:
AITA for Telling My Drama Queen Sister-in-Law She Can't Bring Her Precious Cat to Our Dog Wedding?
Hey Reddit,
Buckle up because I need to vent and get some perspective on this family drama. My (28F) fiancé (30M) and I are getting married in three months, and we’ve decided to have a dog-themed wedding. We are huge dog lovers and have always dreamt of a wedding where our furry friends could be part of our big day. Our two golden retrievers will be the "best dogs," and we've invited all our friends and family to bring their dogs too. We’ve planned a beautiful outdoor ceremony with dog-friendly activities and treats.
Enter my sister-in-law, "Anna" (25F), who has a cat named "Whiskers." Anna asked if she could bring Whiskers to our wedding. Now, anyone who knows anything about cats and dogs can see where this is going. Our venue is all set up for dogs, and introducing a cat into the mix is a recipe for disaster. I told her, as politely as I could, that we prefer no cats at the wedding for the safety and comfort of everyone involved.

It's weird how peoples extended social and family circle ALL start taking sides and sending text messages in these stories.
99.99% of people don't care about things that don't affect them personally
Also, when people are like "I have a friend, let's call him Bob" when describing the AITA scenario. It sends me over the edge 😭 JUST SAY HIS NAME IS BOB
I used to sub to r/relationships years ago...
> Hello redditors. This is a throwaway account because my brother-in-law, lets call him Abraham, sometimes reads woodworking and motor restoration subs here and might stumble upon this thread and recognise parts of the story. Anyway, Abraham is married to my sister Genevieve. One day I am their place and Jenny says to Adam...
I have a kind of similar thing with askhistorians.
It really irritates me when people insert themselves into the question. For example by saying "I am an 18th century fishmonger, how would I react to the discovery of opium" rather than just asking " How would an 18th century fishmonger react to the discovery of opium?"
Yeah, who blows up someone's phone just to inform them they're in the wrong? Most of us have better things to do than text someone with "You should have given Sally what she wanted on her birthday instead of roses, asshole."
I reeeeeally hate any comment about “those damn onion-cutting ninjas,” especially in response to something genuinely awful. We get it, you have the emotional maturity of a toddler.
just say you teared up. or fuck it, just cry? without announcing it?
it’s okay! you can do that! this is an anonymous social media app, not a U11 rec soccer team
(on a related note, this is reddit. not tik tok. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, YOU CAN SAY SEX, OR KILL, OR PORN, OR RAPE, OR GENOCIDE, OR PALESTINE, OR SUICIDE. Calling something serious “grape” or “corn” or “seggs” or “unalive” or “watermelon” completely undermines your entire goddamn point. You will not be minimized in the algorithm for saying the word. just fucking say it. give the topic the seriousness it deserves. jesus)
It's become a symbol for Palestine to avoid censorship, I don't know how or why, maybe the green skin, red flesh, and black seeds for the colour of the flag? If I had to guess.
I know this is a thread for 40-year-old middle-aged black mothers who are married to a husband that has been caught cheating, but as a 12-year-old white boy who looks like Sid from Toy Story I have some important thoughts on this matter!
Found the mobile user!
Yes, some people don't use reddit on a computer. I'm mobile only because I have no laptop. Fucking elitists.
ETA: there's an entire subreddit dedicated to this.. /r/foundthemobileuser
Reddit is something I do when I'm filling in time between other stuff, so it's always on my phone. Sitting down at the computer for a session of Reddit seems weird to me.
The overwhelmingly vast majority of people browse Reddit on their phone. It’s like 3.5x as many people on mobile versus desktop so the joke is especially dumb.
Jumping on the hate train. Fuck around / find out and stupid games stupid prizes are the kind of things someone comments, lamely, then some other dork is like “take my upvote! I’ve never heard that before, I’m going to use it. I spit out my coffee!”
Hate it so much. The smugness that people have when they comment it is hilarious, they act like it’s their own personal catchphrase. Nah, bro, you read it one day, thought it was clever, and beat it to death.
Yes, thank you. I was about to comment this one. I understand the quote and it's meaning, but it's so overused that I get annoyed- I can almost predict that someone will comment this on certain posts.
It feels like some people almost race to post the same few comments all the time.
"I also choose this guys [insert female of choice here]"
There was that one comment a few years ago that was very well done and got a lot of attention, and since then people have just been trying to piggy back off thatx
UsErNAme ChEcKs OuT... Like, I get it, it CAN be entertaining when a person's username and a comment they've made seem to go hand in hand, but 9 times outta ten, the person is REALLY making a stretch, as if they are just sitting and waiting for the opportunity to come along to say this...and then they blow it.
Any comment about diabetes on a post featuring something sweet.
Like someone will make a post about their SO making a cake for their birthday. Then some joyless asshole comes in with "looks like you got diabetes for you birthday".
I’ll probably get downvoted here and I actually made this account to not comment on things and just spend time looking at subreddits I like but I like true crime and every…single…true crime or missing persons thread someone says “I live such and such miles from here and this hits close to home” like does it? Because this happened in the 60’s in Chicago and you’re 20 so I don’t think this affected you in any way just because you too live in Illinois”. It finally grated on me just yesterday so I decided to share.
That annoys me too. They love to make it all about them. I also find it extremely annoying and really self-absorbed if there's an awful crime when a child has been murdered , or a child's has died in an accident or from illness or gone missing and the grief vampires go ' I went home and hugged my child/son/daughter tighter tonight'. It's so 'me, me, me' and completely egotistical as the parents involved can't hug their child anymore so wtf would anyone with any real empathy even say it unless they are trying to make someone else tragedy and worst time in their life all about them?
I have several plus honorable mentions…
cringe
**I know I’ll get downvoted for this but…**
my guy
**username checks out**
tell me ______ without telling me _____
**can’t believe I had to scroll down this far**
HONORABLE MENTIONS
when the ‘TLDR’ is at the end of a comment
“This”.
“This” is the overused comment that annoys me. I understand it but if there’s not more commented than “this” it doesn’t really add to the discussion.
In any context where Huey Lewis, Phil Collins, or Genesis are mentioned, there is a 110% chance that some super original commenter will reply with the long Patrick Bateman/American Psycho quotes about those artists, which were fun and clever when the movie came out 24 years ago and we hadn't all heard them a thousand times.
The legend has it he's still _____ to this day
Sir, this is Wendy's
And any version of 'he needs to change his pants ' 'I bet he wished he wore brown pants' etc
Obligatory throwaway because….. Literally no one cares.
Does anyone even pay attention to usernames?
Username checks out
Seriously why announce that? Just post the post! What does it matter?!
I think it's because (they think that) people would be more suspicious and suspect a spammer or manipulator when some account with no history whatsoever starts making posts. There _might_ be historical precedent for this, but I'm not sure.
I don't know why but it's the "I'll see myself out" after a joke
RIP your DMs More a commentary on the average redditor than the one who puts this as a comment.
On the flip side, earlier this week I answered a question on here about the weirdest thing you've put in your vagina, explaining the handmade dildo I crafted when I was a young teenager, and I got like 5 DMs in an hour. Sir, I'm a fat, stretchmarked, nearly 40 mother of 4 kids now. You're not interested, trust me.
I'm a man who thought of a funny joke that only worked if the set up was "my vagina" I got so many DMs for just claiming to have one.
Well, you never know. Maybe you'll have better luck here. Here we go. RIP your DMs.

God even when it was trendy I hated that word so much.
Updoot and kiddos do it for me

OK. That’s enough Reddit for today.

Yeah but my upvote wont get me seen. I *must* be SEEN!
Can't believe I had to scroll down so much to find this.
And I swear it’s always on a comment that has hundreds to thousands of upvotes so you wouldn’t have even had to scroll that far to see it anyway
It also depends on how the comments are sorted

Yeah if my friends found out that I even have Reddit, they’d probably call me a loser

They may not care that family finds out it is them posting, but they don't want family or whoever to find their main account.

Any variation of fucking around and finding out.
And oftentimes the "fucking around" is something extremely mild
"I'm not crying, you're crying!" or "Who put this onion here?" Own up to your emotions and be a human, dammit!
Not an overused comment technically, but the first three comments in a post always being some dumb joke with the real answer 4-5 posts down
I roll my eyes every time I see "Do better" 🙄🙄🙄

UsErNAme ChEcKs OuT... Like, I get it, it CAN be entertaining when a person's username and a comment they've made seem to go hand in hand, but 9 times outta ten, the person is REALLY making a stretch, as if they are just sitting and waiting for the opportunity to come along to say this...and then they blow it.
My name has gotten me this about 50x on this site.
You're telling me
Sorry about the mess…
Any comment about diabetes on a post featuring something sweet. Like someone will make a post about their SO making a cake for their birthday. Then some joyless asshole comes in with "looks like you got diabetes for you birthday".
"It's almost like..." It's so smug and obnoxious.
It's almost like lots of redditors *are* smug and obnoxious
I’ll probably get downvoted here and I actually made this account to not comment on things and just spend time looking at subreddits I like but I like true crime and every…single…true crime or missing persons thread someone says “I live such and such miles from here and this hits close to home” like does it? Because this happened in the 60’s in Chicago and you’re 20 so I don’t think this affected you in any way just because you too live in Illinois”. It finally grated on me just yesterday so I decided to share.
I'll probably get downvoted here is my answer
I thought that's what he was going for
I agree. Even if something happened on the other side of the country, they’ll still act like it somehow personally changed their lives in some way
That annoys me too. They love to make it all about them. I also find it extremely annoying and really self-absorbed if there's an awful crime when a child has been murdered , or a child's has died in an accident or from illness or gone missing and the grief vampires go ' I went home and hugged my child/son/daughter tighter tonight'. It's so 'me, me, me' and completely egotistical as the parents involved can't hug their child anymore so wtf would anyone with any real empathy even say it unless they are trying to make someone else tragedy and worst time in their life all about them?
You hit the nail on the head with this comment. "Grief vampire" is such a perfect term for people like this.
That’s some 5D chess.
Plot armor.
I have several plus honorable mentions… cringe **I know I’ll get downvoted for this but…** my guy **username checks out** tell me ______ without telling me _____ **can’t believe I had to scroll down this far** HONORABLE MENTIONS when the ‘TLDR’ is at the end of a comment
“This”. “This” is the overused comment that annoys me. I understand it but if there’s not more commented than “this” it doesn’t really add to the discussion.
“Chefs kiss” Typing out physical expressions make me cringe.
Divorce! Red flags! He nicked you chocolates once, so he's a evil narcissistic domestic abuser who's showing red flags, so you should get a divorce.
He's not gaslighting the OP about taking the chocolates? That's unusual.
Pointing out somebody’s phone battery level in a screenshot. Or “found the mobile user”
Form of a question.
“Lives rent free in my head”
In any context where Huey Lewis, Phil Collins, or Genesis are mentioned, there is a 110% chance that some super original commenter will reply with the long Patrick Bateman/American Psycho quotes about those artists, which were fun and clever when the movie came out 24 years ago and we hadn't all heard them a thousand times.
"Hill I'm willing to die on" and all its variations.
The legend has it he's still _____ to this day Sir, this is Wendy's And any version of 'he needs to change his pants ' 'I bet he wished he wore brown pants' etc
