readingjedi @Asthecroweflies The phrase about breath-holding seems to crop up in almost every book I read & it drives me batty! 3y

What do you find annoying? It I think I‘m more chill now that I‘m older but I still get annoyed by people chewing with their mouth open and people who are on their phone while you‘re talking to them!

Ruthiella Cars without mufflers! It‘s a trend among young drivers where I live and I hate it...so loud and disruptive. 3y

Is it just me or does anyone else find this annoying?! Just use the hecking speech marks!!! It's a stylistic quirk that seems to be ultra fashionable right now but personally I don't see the point at all.

CollapsingLibrary I always hate it to start. Depending on the book sometimes I appreciate it by the end. 3y

tracey38 Yeah, I don't like it either. 3y

Ruthiella Yes, just use them. Drives me nutty. 3y

Thx for the tag @Enchanted_Bibliophile
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs
1. Bella Swan was the most annoying main character EVER...whiny, needy, depressed. Probably not a popular opinion ....
2. None that I can think of.
3. About 1 a month

Want to play @TheNeverendingTBR @MySharonaK ?

Dear Litsy;

Please stop kicking me out every other action I do. This is the first big post I've been able to make in days. I'm getting thoroughly sick of your crap. I don't want to be kicked out. I want to be able to have posts load properly so I can see what people are doing. I would like to get all of my tag notifications. I would like to be able to comment on what I CAN see. And most of all, I would just like to go back to the way things were.

Bostonmomx2 Have you emailed them? 6y

LoverofLit 😥😥😥😥 Hugs. I'm sorry you're going through some terribleness 6y

Kaye Sorry you‘re having trouble. Mine does that off and on too. I‘ve had a couple days where it‘s working again, but it seems to randomly hit where it‘ll start clogging up, slowing down, and not working properly. 6y

vkois88 @Bostonmomx2 no, I just haven't felt like dealing with them. I figure they are seeing our posts, and say they're working on it but it stays the same. I'm just sad bc I miss my friends. I have to keep refreshing and trying to get people's pictures to come up... sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. @kaye it's just getting ridiculous at this point. Idk if it's a slower server they switched to, or what. But I want my old Litsy back 😔 6y

Bostonmomx2 @vkois88 I actually don‘t think they see most posts as they don‘t have time to scroll thru the feeds of 1000s of members. 6y

vkois88 @Bostonmomx2 I just mean that there are loads of people complaining, and many of the posts tag them as well... that's all 6y

Kaye It could be a lot of different reasons , possibly a slower server or slower internet connection. The Hubster said it could be due to several reasons. Believe me, I understand how frustrating it is. It worked fine before. I‘m hoping people won‘t get frustrated and leave because of it. 6y

Kaye Yes I‘m sure they have been tagged and seen several of the latest posts unless they have Helen Keller watching Litsy. Keep posting , others go to LT and FB , I‘ve done the blasted shake your device to lodge a comment to all 3 places. No response from any. Don‘t give up. We are all behind you 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TimSpalding 6y

TimSpalding Hi. Are things going okay for you now? We‘ve posted on Litsy and on Facebook a number of times and at some length. We cannot respond to every time you we are tagged in someone‘s feed. 6y

vkois88 @TimSpalding it's gotten better. I'm able to post more now, but I'm still having issues with seeing all the pictures. They just won't load. And I keep having the app shut down on me. I didn't tag you... was just voicing frustrations. This is the only place I have social interaction, so it's extremely frustrating that it won't work properly. I understand it's a big transition over to LT servers, but it's just gotten worse. 6y

vkois88 @TimSpalding also, I don't have FB, so I rely solely on this app. And if I can't get it to work, I don't see your posts 😔 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TimSpalding I apologize for tagging you. I won‘t tag you again. It‘s been very frustrating for everyone. Many of these people don‘t have Facebook and are unable to see updates. Updates have not been being posted on Litsy. Sorry for the inconvenience. 6y

I hate when this happens first thing in the morning. And I can‘t remember how to find my second library card on here 😭😭😭😭

Smangela What a weird limit?? 6y

ReadingSusan @Smangela I don‘t really understand how Hoopla works since we don‘t do it at our library but I have heard it‘s super expensive. Honestly I would rather they not even do it if every time I get this message when I haven‘t used it at all in a month. 6y

Mdargusch That is very annoying 6y

Smangela I wouldn‘t either!! 6y

tonyahoswalt I don't think my library does a daily limit on hoopla, or if it does I'm not aware of it. I should look into that. 6y

SandyW Does your library works with overdrive? We can use both at mine for ebooks, audio books, and movies. 6y

ReadingSusan @SandyW the library I work at doesn‘t but the other two libraries I use do. 6y

sebrittainclark My library does that too. On the plus side, my library starts the new day around 8:45 pm, so I don't have to stay up all night to check out whatever I'm looking forward to reading. 6y

ReadingSusan @sebrittain maybe I will check later today then. Thanks! (edited) 6y

I thought I'd have three peaceful hours of uninterrupted reading time between clients. Now two of my other coworkers are here w their clients and I have to move every half hour to get out of their way. I'm so annoyed! They're wonderful people, and it's fine, really, but it's so annoying!!!

BarbaraTheBibliophage Ahh. Looks like my office. 💆🏼 (I just found this massage therapist emoji!) 8y

LauraBrook @BarbaraTheBibliophage After I took the picture, I realized it does look massage office-y! And thanks for letting me know about the emoji! 😘💆🏻 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I had time between clients but I also had errands to run. 😂😂 8y
