Let's list behavior that you deem attention seeking.

Displaying your anus on the internet.

Putting clothes on dogs

Staging a gay bashing by deplorables

Driving with thunderous bass thumping.

Using annoyingly overused catchphrases for no real reason, way to often, and way too loudly. "HEY GUUUURL!" Please list your most hated, annoyingly overused catchphrases, I'm curious.

Excessive cleavage in the workplace and complaining about anyone who calls you out on it

Covering yourself in outlandish tattoos and dying your hair Smurf blue.

Public bachelorette parties.

Tuxedo gowns on men

Emotional support animals

Being Andy Cohen

Overly elaborate, every square inch, body covering tattoos. Sorry fully inked pups, no offense for your choices. They just look like random graffiti.

[quote] Excessive cleavage in the workplace and complaining about anyone who calls you out on it

I used to work in a restaurant / bar. The kitchen guys (cooks) were often cute. We had a new kitchen guy and I and one of the other waitresses were talking about him. We had no work uniform and this other waitress usually wore low-cut shirts with a necklace / pendant hanging between her tits. I asked her (fellow waitress) about the new kitchen guy: "How is he?" She said, "He's OK, but he talks to your tits." 🙄

Having children

Adopting children

Yodeling on social media about how terrible it is that you're barren and then chronicling your IVF "journey."

Baby showers.

Gender reveal parties.

Birthday parties for children with smash cakes.

Being anti-vax.

Attachment parenting.

Elimination communication.

Dyeing your hair purple or blue

What's attachment parenting?

I know some people really do need service animals, but my thought when seeing someone with an animal (e.g., in their shopping cart in a store), is that they're attention-seeking.

Opening my mouth wide, exposing my tonsils doing dick-stroking motions.

Kooky fashion that's meant to be "whimsical" but just looks like children's clothes on adults.

[quote] What's attachment parenting?

Among other things, it involves breastfeeding until puberty and co-sleeping until puberty (or beyond).

R35 EEEEEWWW they sound creepy.

Wearing any piece of sleepwear, such as pj pants, in public.

Fake laughing way too loudly and often during an ordinary group conversation in order to seem vivacious.

What are smash cakes?

What's elimination communication?

Marathon runners that clog up the city and bring traffic to a halt. Then following up by boring people at parties by talking about the marathon.

[quote] What are smash cakes?

Smash cakes are small cakes that can be presented to any young child. Often, this takes place for the child's first birthday. The child is permitted to "smash" the cake, grab fistfuls of it, and smear it all over itself, nearby objects, pets, etc. This is an excellent opportunity for the family to take pictures of the child to post on social media.

[quote]What's elimination communication?

Elimination communication is the idea that parents can closely monitor when their infant is about to shit or piss, and thus not use diapers. Once the appropriate signal is detected, the parent can then hold the infant over the toilet so it can do its business. If in a place where a toilet is not available or otherwise inconvenient, such as in a Starbucks or on an airplane, the parent can hold the child over a plastic container in which it can eliminate. The parent can then empty and wash the container at a more convenient time for later use.

I am not making this up.

I really really hate Hollywood fraus like Kelly Oxford and Busy Philipps parading their kids on social media. Why would you expose them to the world like that?

R21, I have a cat that is designated an emotional support animal, but I never take her out of the house or force her on people. Am I still attention-seeking?

r43 On a scale of 1 to Lesbian, where do you fall?

[quote] Declaring on social media "I'm so sick of this drama!" and not expanding.

Oh, they've expanded enough, thank you very much!

Fucking gender reveal parties.

Men over the age of 22 who wear speedos

Public altercations, when not for self-defense, be they physical, verbal or on-line. Trashy and attention seeking.

Bragging. If you're droning on about being "...a great guy!", a stud in bed, an awesome employee, etc. , you're most likely garbage. If you were any of those things, people would already know or will figure it out soon enough on their own.

Unless it's just happened, crying or bitching about a break up. It happens, Ok? And so does worse shit. As in, cancer and your business going bankrupt or your hometown getting destroyed by a flood. No one really fucking cares Tim dumped you six years ago. Your inability to grow up and move on from shit is probably a big reason why he broke up with you, Harold. That and you bring it up every time the group goes out for drinks. STFU, man.

Gender reveal parties

Grand birthday parties for one and two year olds - just to show others that you have cash to waste, yes? The kids won't remember the thousands you spent trying to impress all your friends.

Selfies.

R44, I'm a gay man, not at all a lesbian. Thank you for asking so nicely.

Cunts who announce they're "BLOCKING"on the DL.

OMG BLOCKED R56

Idiots who have to post every single thing to Facebook.

"Look everyone, we're having lunch!"

"Omg everyone - look at my friends and me at a bar!"

Selfie time!

Selfies are interesting. I always get a kick out of how people come up with captions to justify why they’re posting a selfie. Every single one should be, “I think I look good!”

Constant Instagram stories. CONSTANT.

Posting shit like, "Live, Laugh, Love" or "Love you to the moon and back!" Whatever the hell that means.

Oh, oh, oh — No. 1 by far:

A parent posting about a child kidnapping or murder — particularly when it's not even in their area — and adding something like "This hurts my heart too much to bear! Give the kiddos extra hugs tonight!"

WAY TO MAKE SOMEONE ELSE'S TRAGEDY ABOUT YOU.

Guys who have big, bent-downward cocks. Back in my day, they would get almost hard in showers, etc, and everyone would happily salivate over such huge cocks and nobody could call them out on it.

Posting about how many haters you have on social mecia

#hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag

Thread Closed!

Carrying a big snake over your shoulders. I've seen guys who do this for years in NYC - usually at street fairs.

Guys grunting loudly as they lift weights in the gym.

Women wearing little sports bras and tight hot pants in the gym. (If men dressed like that, they’d be thrown out.)

Frumpy old women pushing strollers around, containing little, bewildered-looking dogs.

Women wearing fancy outfits and makeup, just to shop in a grocery store

Some asshole who parks his car directly over the dividing line between two parking spaces, so no other car can scratch his.

Noisy, jacked-up pickup trucks with monster tires. No one is impressed, Travis / Terry / Jimmy / Floyd / Dwight.

And noisy overtuned shitty little cars driven by assholes, mostly younger guys.

Every once in a while, I'll see a midlife crisis douche driving one... they're especially pathetic.

Nobody needs to hear that obnoxious bullshit.

People who take their dogs with them to bars, cafes, stores, etc.

"Attention everyone - will you please look at my dog?"

Breast feeding in public --please stop!!

Being Vicky Gunvalson

Posting your run maps / routes on social media.

R74 That doesn't bother me. If that helps motivate people to be active. I'm all for it.

That's how baby eat r72, get over it.

Social media posts every days. No, I don't care about your food.

Straight people calling themselves "queer"

Overuse of social media. The occasional post is fine, but people who post numerous times per day, or about inane things - every time they eat, or go to a movie, etc. need to get a grip.

Whistling. It’s always creepy middle aged to old guys who do this.

Loud motorcycles. What better way to advertise your tiny dick?

W&W for R46!

Putting a tag on your big ass fucking baby stroller asking people not to touch your baby.

Smashcakes. I even loathe the word.

non traditional pronouned people getting all vivian vanced when people can't guess they are an it or a they or whatever the fuck they are this week,

If you present like a dude, don't be all up in arms when a stranger refers to you as he and not "they"

It is very cool you want to wear red lipstick and dye your beard mauve but the whole world doesn't need to stop and figure your shit out before addressing you

People who reply to a Facebook invitation with something like "We'd love to come, but we'll be in Bogota."

"Oh, wish we could make it, but we're traveling to Italy that week."

How about just "Sorry, we can't make it." But, noooo, we must announce to everyone - please note - we are traveling, and here is our destination.

People who make such a big deal at work, on social media about the latest show. Sons of Anarchy, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, etc. No, I didn't watch it, I don't give a fuck.

Brainless douche cunts like r81 who overuse lame old lines.

And people who accept your invitation to your dinner or cookout and have a list of food allergies/intolerances.

"Oh, I'm vegan, can't eat gluten, carbs." "Is this GMO?" "Oh shit I forgot Madisyn's EpiPen. THERE HAD BETTER NOT BE ANY PEANUTS IN THOSE BROWNIES SHE ATE, SHE COULD DIE!"

Very heavy perfume. When someone sneezes or gently suggests it’s too strong for public transit or elevators, say “it’s MY perfume and I wear it for ME!”

Unless you've recently suffered a loss or are under the age of twelve, crying in public

Having a facebook birthday fundraiser

Posting photos of sick or injured child's injuries from the ER or hospital room with the caption: "So, this just happened." or similar. I'm just a childless gay man, but perhaps giving your child privacy would be a bigger parenting WIN than garnering attention/likes/prayers from your social media pals?

"Woke" people who lecture others on social media and the jackasses who retweet them.

Being Donald Trump. Ugh. For Christ's sake, someone remove that thing from the planet.

Pierced noses

Stretched earlobes

If you ever grow up and realize what an idiot you were, repairing stretched earlobes is very expensive.

Posting a comment on a thread just to say you don’t care about the subject of the thread.

95% of your Instagram photos are only of you, shirtless or in a bikini. Most of you are wannabe models, not actual working ones.

Declaring your preferred pronouns when you are a 'cis' person, on LinkedIn.

[quote]"Oh, wish we could make it, but we're traveling to Italy that week."

I have a business associate who does this to justify why he doesn't attend voluntary meetings, but instead of a vacation, he gives a long explanation of all the errands he has to do and his work outs at the gym.

Gender reveal parties have to be the most obnoxious thing ever. To be so self involved that you actually believe anyone but you, and 'maybe' the grandparents, GAF about the gender of your baby is beyond narcissistic. It's bad enough we get roped into boring and expensive weddings and showers. Enough.

People who bore you with the details of nebulous diseases like chronic fatigue syndrome and dysautonomia.

[R112] Some of these sickos post pictures of themselves on FB hooked up to IVs and looking wanly from hospital beds. Captioning the rounds of tests and treatments. Then the comment section is stuffed with “I’m so sorry feel better!” I know two fraus who do this constantly. Why can’t people be delightful for attention instead?

My new favorite description for attention-seekers!

THANKS!

Wearing bow ties to work

I'm easily annoyed so basically EVERYTHING!

Parents bring children to concerts.

Parents bringing children ANYWHERE.

I have had rule since my youth in NYC in the 80s. Bow ties are fine under the age of 25 and over 55. The same applies to white bucks in the summer. I think it still applies well. 24 is a bit old but who would complain about a handsome young man in white bucks as being too precious?

Although, I created that when everyone wore suits to work and one needed 3 seasons of suits and accessories.

Nobody remembers these things but old folks now.

Such as a linen suit should start in the morning crisp, clean and pressed.

People who feel the need to declare their love for animals on social media, usually when talking about a movie or TV show. They usually say something like "if something happens to animal X, I will riot/stop watching". I encountered this a lot when watching Game of Thrones reaction videos - one woman was crying and having a meltdown when one of the CGI dragons on Game of Thrones got killed. Also, another video showed some fools crying when the CGI direwolf on GOT was injured. Really?

I find this over the top and wanting to be seen as having some magical special connection to animals. Even computer generated animals. Feh.

[quote]Nobody remembers these things but old folks now.

You must be right because I have no idea what “white bucks” are.

Here’s one

Posting a selfie video of yourself dancing in a revealing bathing suit at 55 while mouthing the words to Express Yourself and snapping your fingers.

The vast majority of users and their posts on Facebook and Instagram.

Prince Charles in white bucks. He's old enough.

Bro in white bucks. Just about the age limit but still OK.

Permissible bowtie and white bucks on old coot.

People who bring their children to the hospital. These little rugrats are running amok rling around on the floor, making messes with their graham crackers. The kids normally have snotty noses and they're visiting grandma who's getting over pneumonia.

Leave them home.

Marrying a dimwit British prince and announcing you intend to modernize the monarchy.

Constantly cupping your baby bump in the most ostentatious way possible.

Breast feeding in public Running for President.

Performative woke-parenting in a voice loud enough for all to hear...

"No, Sarcophagus-Gene, jumping to conclusions about an entity's identity is hurtful. Worse, it may literally KILL them. When you asked, 'Linda, why is that man crawling down the cereal aisle in a dog mask? And why doesn't the tail fall out of his butt crack?' that was borderline genocidal behavior. Do you understand, Sarcophagus-Gene? Let's walk over and ask how they identify, shall we? This is how good people model #kindness."

I second the announcing your allergies/sensitivities. Also, people who do not have celiac disease announcing they're "glute-sensitive".

And, as one who used to dye my hair and cut it all crazy back in the 80's, I'm tired of these middle aged fraus now dying their hair. They seem to looking for validation from everyone. They get really upset when I don't comment on their hair. If I do, I tell them that back in the day looking weird would get you assaulted and/or kicked out of public places and that the assholes yelling faggot and such were people like her and her husband when they were younger.

^ Announcing that you did something before it became popular, and that it was more hardcore when you did it.

When someone posts a picture of their naked ass or their face staring out into the abyss with some inspirational quote. I'm pretty sure Maya Angelou wasn't talking about your naked ass when you wrote that, Sandra.

Hell, just write "this is my naked ass" and be done with it.

Cunt.)

How do we feel about people detailing their struggles with depression and anxiety on social media? While certainly there's no shame in dealing with those issues, I am surprised at the extent to which so many people put it out there to the world, and not in an anonymous way. They usually couch it in terms of, by speaking out I am helping others. I wonder how strictly true that is. Perhaps some just enjoy being told how brave they are?

I follow one woman on Twitter who works in publishing. She is currently looking for a job, without luck, which she talks about a lot. At the same time, she tweets in excruciating detail about the daily outpatient treatment she's in, all the meds she's on. Does it not occur to her that prospective employers might see those tweets and (fairly or not) back away? She also tweets photos and personal details of her kids, who are old enough to read all of this.

Again, I say this with full respect to anyone dealing with such issues. I am old and uptight, it's true, and of the school that some things should be kept personal and private.

That little retard could hardly say his own name let alone tell the staffer that he wanted an Anaheim Scrambler. I wound up walking out, otherwise I was going to be late for work.

Amen, R230. And it happens to the best/hippest of people. I knew a formerly very cool couple - cool meaning they work in the design world, sardonic and above-it-all about everything - who had a kid in their early 40s and now regularly bombard us with his mushy toddler antics on social media, especially things that involve him being what I'm sure they consider an adorable rebel/anarchist - jumping on the kitchen counter, singing and dancing at adult parties. I'm sure he'll be doing the woke thing in the next few years.

Ugh I hate the fitted suits so tight you can see calves. I work with a guy who wears those stretch dress shirts and he buys them too small so they hug his arms and pecs. When he moves the buttons are straining. I get it , you work out.

Some eunuchs or Lesbians seem to have joined the thread.

I think excessively 'gifty' people are really not generous at heart: They're seeking approval and acceptance. They are pathetic. I also think people who are 'rescuers' don't really attempt to rescue out of any sense of altruism, but rather, a need to be seen as a hero. I had to jettison a friend (actually, it was his idea that we should be friends) for exhibiting both behaviors. The guy was smart, attractive and very creative and hard-working. I still don't understand why he felt he had to try so hard with gifts and rescue-y behavior. Oh, well. Boy, BYE!!!!

R236 it is still attention seeking behavior.

R98 I don't think the trans movement will be sustainable. for long.

[quote] I think excessively 'gifty' people are really not generous at heart: They're seeking approval and acceptance.

R237 , could you please elaborate on this? Someone I know gives me tons of gifts (a bagful at a time). It's not jewelry or anything like that. However, it's really unnecessary. Just recently, I realized that I never feel good about any of the gifts that I give this friend. It just seems like I can never properly reciprocate due to the volume of incoming gifts.

You type fat, R49

R242, I hate gifts. I feel manipulated.

-237 here, responding to -242- The gift-giving always seemed like a 'ticket' of admission into my life, when it was really unnecessary. I liked the guy and we worked together for several years and had that and a lot of friends in common. But he was more into the friendship than I was and I think he used gifts to manipulate me, especially after we started working in different places and no longer had that in common. It took a while for it to sink in; I've never experienced that with anyone else, nor to that degree.

Trolls posting on DataLounge. Jesus Fucking Christ I hate it whenever I read nasty, vicious, cruel responses from smarmy DL posters. When you can actually FEEL the sick thrill they get in their hideous never ending bile. After surviving growing up gay in a conservative family, being taunted and beat up almost all through my school years, surviving The Plague (so far), and just getting through the goddamn fucking day, I feel defeated to see gay men continuously attacking each other with such horrible joyful abandon. I've battled depression, suicidal thoughts and sometimes am barely able to get out of bed each day just to fall back in at night. Attention seeking DL Trolls. The. Worst.

Slogan t-shirts. Carrying a little dog everywhere and dressing it in clothes.

R250 I follow a Frau on Twitter who does all this, because I'm morbidly fascinated by the way she has elevated it to an art form. Every weekend like clockwork, she proclaims: "THREAD" and proceeds to describe in excruciating detail her latest meltdown, anxiety attack etc. Then she sits back and glories in the replies: "Thank you for sharing. By talking openly your struggle, you're helping so many others. Hugs to you xo." Next thing you know, she's tweeting about ice cream and her upcoming vacation.

Sad thing is, she has a husband and kids (who she also posts extensively about, to the point where followers know WAY too much about them). She must be absolutely exhausting in real life. Too many like her on SM. I admit to being a big fan of her timeline, though. I follow her like a trainwreck soap opera, just to observe the phenomenon.

Being morbidly obese is so outrageously attention seeking.

Being at a music concert and waiting for everyone else to stop screaming then let out a screaming pitch over and over

This is attention seeking

Imagine asking people who plays XBox so they can play online together but with your cock out to get attention?

r253, I see r247. What is he doing that pisses you off?

Being inappropriately loud in a restaurant. Irritates the shit out of me when I can’t even hear the person sitting across from me because the asshole seated behind me has to use his outdoor voice to tell his blind date all about his workout routine and what foods he eats to help bulk up and maintain an imposing physique. Yes. This was an actual conversation my husband and I had to endure at Cheesecake Factory a few months ago.

People who constantly whine about their difficult childhood. I don't mean discussing it I mean someone who constantly posts statuses or memes about overcoming their past and talks about their dirtbag rearing at all times.

R261, you would have enjoyed dinner out with us on Saturday. The couple sitting at the next table did nothing but play with their phones. The male never said anything. The woman only spoke to the waitress. It was so bizarre.

[R231] I know someone who is a lobbyist who plays in a hobby rock band with other lobbyists. He lives in a giant mc mansion and claims his five year old son loves speed metal. Bougie people who pretend to still be bohemian and then push their kids to be little hipsters are so lame. The kids will grow up to be just like them, unfortunately.

I follow a subreddit for thrift shop fans, where people post the cool things they’ve found in thrift shops. Vintage Nike sneakers, Depression-era milk glass, pinball machines, shit like that. There are always girls posting their cleavage in “Urban outfitters wrap dress $12!!!” Occasionally there will be a transvestite in some sequin thing that gets a million upvotes and comments saying how beautiful xir looks.

I guess that’s *special*
