Ok is it just me that finds it completely irritating to see to see posters to include [sigh] in their posts.

It reminds me of a petulant child

I've only seem to see it when a poster is trying to indicate condescension

PelvicFloorClenchReminder - with a posting name like yours you may need to be doing a little less of that Grin

I'm with you OP, [sigh] is usually being used condescendingly, and [shrugs] is used to be dismissive. But not always, it does depend on context.

It's not as annoying as cnuts* instead of cunts

Or "gavel" or "luff" or HTH!

Not as annoying as Hmm though.

Although I love using it myself - it just makes me boil if anyone does it to me Blush

I use [shrugs] a lot, usually to mean I don't really give a shite but would quite like to have an opinion.
