Annoying things people do on WSO

What are some annoying, pet-peevy things people do at this site?

I'll start:

exhibit 1: "just got a SD/offer" [cue bunch of anxious replies from people asking crazy *minute* details]

exhibit 2: "well group x at bank y provides with the best exits to PE firm z.... omg you're in Capital markets? You're f*cked for PE recruiting bro!!!!!!" -– Prospect in IB - Gen, replying to Analyst 3

Question: Can anyone weigh in on their experience lateralling to an EB from a BB, and the difficulty of doing it with specifics?

*Anon poster*

I went to a semi-target (lists 15 schools) with a decent gpa (think 3.3-4.0 range) with solid internship experience (think wealth management, or PE firm, or boutique IB, or big 4) and landed a good SA at a BB (think GS, MS, DB, UBS) before lateraling to an EB  in a top city (think Boston, NYC, Detroit, Alabama, LA). Sorry for not giving specifics hehe, afraid for privacy reasons.

I know I'm in high school and I shouldn't complain, but some of the other kids are down right cringy. I have been lurking for around 8 months and I have learned a lot. Some of the other kids should use the search bar before they ask questions.
