Naas_Human

I know a couple of people that use it to do some sort of "postscript" thing

Naas_H_Sapiens, [something something smehwat relevant]

Icalasari

It's quite annoying when they make up another personality and pretend to have a conversation with them

Kristy: Yeah, those jackasses

Icalasari: Shut up >

"It's quite annoying when they make up another personality and pretend to have a conversation with them"

Yes. Yes it is.

^^ Oh I can't stand those people, you have no fucking idea.

And what about those people who have some DEEP quote in their signature or some huge banner?

At least those people can occasionally be saying something relevant and I can skip the obnoxious sig banner.  The kawaii schizophrenic types are usually just blathering incoherently.

Icalasari

^ Like this?

"OH BEE CHAN YOU ARE SO KAWAII AND I WANT YOUR HAIR DESU~!"

Weirdly, I find the KAWAII DESU NE~ *GLOMPLES* schizophrenic fangirl type people to be... way less repulsive than they really ought to be.  I think it's just that it's so ridiculous that I not only can't take them seriously, but can't be seriously bothered by them either.

The worst offenders are SMS signatures. You're already capped to 160 characters, and appending a signature to each of your texts just artifically reduces your remaining character count. And sometimes my messages get long so there is little point in me appending a signature to my messages.

Even worse when people make Twitter posts (20 less characters than an SMS allowed, mind you!) via SMS and don't bother to remove their signatures.

Fuschlatz

Manual signatures only tend to bug me when there are character limits, like what Ray said. Anywhere else, I think of it as slightly annoying but negligible. (Of course, nearly every site has a length limit, but usually it's something really high like 32768 characters...)

Icalasari

^ One day I'll come across someone with a signature only 100 characters shorter than a post allows

Raydere

Usually the text/Twitter signatures I find are either of animu character names or some melodramatic, cryptic, narmy crap.

TheConductor

I'll occasionaly sign a text when I'm exchanging numbers.

 

"Heya buddy, just a message to let you get my number ~Me"

Central Avenue

^ See, that makes sense, though, because that way they can associate the number with a name even when it's not in their contacts list.

Nyarly

I always wondered why some people do that, but it never bothered me much.

InsanityAddict

I always try to make texts as short as possible, and this apparently comes across as grumpy. A good way to filter out the overtly sensitive.
