I read very quickly. Actually, too quickly for my comprehension speed it seems. My iPad lists the forum titles by most recent, so I see them all in the order they were posted rather than by category.

I sometimes get alarmed by a topic and realize it is a TV or movie. False alarm.

Today there were two topics that startled me for a bit. The first was Crochet Dusters. I thought "that is a good idea." If they are made to fit the Swiffer Duster handle, they can do the job and then get thrown in the wash. I opened the thread. Oops! Wrong kind of duster.

The second title was New Pet Throws Cat/Dog. What kind of new pet did they acquire? A chimpanzee or gorilla? Maybe a bear. I know Smokey Bear did a number on the game warden's dog before he left for the zoo.

If you are having a low energy day like I had today, you can find your entertainment in the most interesting ways. Have any of you been confused by forum titles and gotten a laugh?

I don't see what was hard to understand, the title clearly told what the thread was about.

Posted under Pet Lovers, "New Throws Cat/Dog", meaning it was about throws that came in Cat & Dog choices.

You're limited in space for titles.

Where the talk about gorillas and bears come from only you know.

What's in that tea?

Haha! No offense to any of the posters (including me), but I sometimes have to read the titles again to "get it"...what is clear to others, isn't necessarily clear to all. Ignore the negative comment @On It ....that cat/dog throw confused me too the first time I read it! As most of us know, there are several ways some verbs and nouns can be used!

@KingstonMom I explained the cause of the confusion in the first paragraph. I speed read. I do not use the forum categories to select posts. They all appear in chronological order. The category is in small print while the title is in large bold print.

It was a joke. Sorry you did not understand my attempt at humor.

@On It 

Not a problem!

@jannabelle1 

My post was not meant to be "negative", I was confused about what she meant.

Sometimes it's a matter of where you place the emphasis. Ever read poorly written church bulletins? "For those of you who have children, and don't know it, we have a nursery".

Mostly, it's the use of text acronyms that throw me.    I have to stop and Google them....

@On It 😂😂😂😂 I needed that laugh! Whew!🤣🤣🤣

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I don't remember anything specific but I have been surprised or amused when I open a title and it's not at all what I thought it would be.  I like it when posters are creative with titles.
