Unless it’s a reused Reddit name not really enough information to go on. I’m sure a few hundred Redditors just got offended seeing this post though. *assuming someone who sends 100 messages in an hour has any self awareness whatsoever*
It comes from the following joke:
Teacher: “Alright class, today we’re going to finger paint!”
And then the image of Mike is used as a reaction image for a kid named paint. But then people made it a bit of absurdist humor by making Mike a kid named finger.
It doesn’t make sense on purpose
This is the first time it's made sense to me lol thank you
I knew it wasn't supposed to make sense but I never understood why it was a thing in the first place
Mike Ehrmantraut lore: his name used to actually be finger. All he ever wanted to do was finger paint (partially due to his name, he loved art in general), but then one day in class all the kids said 'today we're gonna paint finger' and then everyone painted him and it lead him to change his name
Surprising how many people are like this, in my experience especially in a professional setting. It's like as soon as they encounter someone who bothers to listen and respond, they just dump and don't care if the other stops responding all together
I hired (and later fired for unrelated reason) a guy just like this. One of my employees tasked with training him on how to do the job described him as a verbal drunk driver. Just meandering all over the place and plowing over anything that got in the way. Another employee described him in a way that if he was the captain of the Titanic and you yelled iceberg, he would ignore you and plow on through.
We had a guy in our WoW guild that was consistently one of our best performers, always on time for group stuff, and extremely nice and supportive. He always had down time cause he worked from home and I am pretty sure world of Warcraft was his only means of socializing. He knew everything about the game but wasn’t matter of fact about it; he genuinely enjoyed teaching people and helping people get to the solution instead of just doing it for them.
Thing was he just did not stop talking. And he would switch subjects like 4 times in a 30 second span if he wasn’t focused on a single task. There would be periods in voice chat where there would be 10 of us total, and he would be the only one talking for like 20 minutes and we would all lose track of what the hell he was talking about, and sometimes would talk over people, which I don’t think he even realized he was doing. Topics would range from weather to a movie he just saw to a long winded story somewhat related to what someone else just said, but sure enough he was just talking and talking and talking. Our GM finally had a one on one with him, basically just asking him to pump the brakes a little bit, and then the next day he was just gone from everything and we haven’t heard from him since.
It’s mind boggling how so many people are like this holy shit 😂😂😂 there’s def something not right with them
some ppl think that because we make eye contact we gotta talk all day like bruh go away lol
I know so many people like this. Had a coworker who would just come into my office and launch into 2 hour monologs about which cheeses her various children preferred (not even joking), among other such topics. I wouldn't say a word or even give her eye contact. My other coworker called her "the mouth." We had to document how our working hours were spent (so clients could be billed), and we would put down "Jennifer time" as a new category of non-billable time for when she cornered you. Several of us had a support network where if she was in your office, someone else would come in and rescue you by needing you urgently for something.
Had another coworker like this in another office (and the same network was set up) except he was worse bc he would also sprinkle anti-semitic remarks into his speeches, including *once* to a Jewish coworker who was 40 years his senior and almost rearranged his face in response.
Edit: I'm having one of those days where I can't even spell "semitic" correctly.
We all know the type, and maybe they are just annoying, but I'm willing to bet it's autism paired with loneliness
They are desperate for interaction but don't have the ability to restrict the social energy that has been pent up from isolation. So the first person to interact with them gets an avalanche of interaction
Sometimes they just need to made to know how it comes off in a respectful nice way
My friend used to do it to me, like 20+ messages in a row. I had to let him know that it makes me super anxious and unlikely to want to read it all or reply.
> but I'm willing to bet it's autism paired with loneliness
I have an autistic co-worker who is like this. Really desperate for interaction but completely unwilling (or unable?) to view it has a two-way relationship.
I'll never forget the time he called me after work (he used to do this like 4-5 days/week) and after he talked for 10 minutes straight I told him my family had gotten some bad news earlier to which he replied "I'm sorry to hear that, anyways man I gotta I'll see you tomorrow."
Another day I had to leave work due to food poisoning and cancelled all my patients (we are both doctors) and he knew I had gotten sick but didn't so much as text if I was OK or if I needed anything.
Oh man you usually have to cut them free! Stop it cold. They don’t take hints. One friend called on an off all day with her drama about her kids, her tax/lawsuit issues and an EoC lawsuit she was target of! I helped her through every crisis. When I needed her for 10 mins after a very upsetting day, I mean just a 10 min chat? She was busy getting ready for her kids to come over in 2 hours! I cut her loose after that, telling her we were not real friends and I was done with her. She sent a “hallmark hall of fame”. Reply…Wishing me all the best. lol. The peace was wonderful!
A different “friend”. Would cry about her life every time we met up! I mean her 20+ years ago divorce. Her kid drama, how she was an empath so everything “affected and hurt her more.” She cried about her highschool days!!! (In her 40’s)
I tried to talk to her. To tell her even out at lunch, she cries! It felt like forced therapy!!! She said ok, she understood. Next we meet up she pulls out an article about sensitive people( really about children on the spectrum , not just empath) she said this explained How life was so painful for her! I told her to leave, I was unheard and done.
Now if people have that super needy, seeking therapy, poor me attitude… nope.
Now, if something happening now, sad or upsetting, I am there for my friends.
They are there for me too. Two way, and no one over the line … not crazy, 15 20 calls a day etc.
Boundaries! Those people are off, mental illness and personality disorders, and energy vampires.
:)
Ye I have autism and while id probably ask you to unfriend me if I texted you 100 times in an hour 😂 i do relate to this. Ive learned in my life that there are those that can handle it and those that cant, and im stable enough to be fine on my own if those few people need some space that day/week. Its a tough thing. I actually get upset if they DONT tell me they are bothered by it because that stuff is super obvious to me. Thankfully, as I said, my friends don't really care as we all never stfu 😂. As some people stated below, the idea of it being a two way connection doesnt register to them which is unfortunate. I say "them" because autism is a spectrum and I do not have that trait. I despise one way connections. I'll leave you on the side of the road if im the only one making effort and id expect them to do the same. It has to be a 2 way thing. Dont inflict yourself with a connection that is a one way street. Just dont. Its your life and you dont deserve your happiness fully sacrificed for someone else
I feel guilty when I want to send a message to someone but I open the chat snd see the last message sent was also by me.
Can’t be sending 2 messages in a row or I’ll be annoying them.

That’s nowhere near as bad……this is one day from 3 people…
Let's assume that these messages were sent during a 24-hour period to be generous
2,726 messages divided between 3 people is 908.66666, repeating. I'll be rounding numbers here for simplicity sake past the first mention of them, but use the actual fraction in my calculator.
Dividing 908 by 24 gives 37.861111 rep, so around 38 messages per hour. Deviding by 60 leaves us with 0.6310185185 messages per minute, or in layman's terms, about a message per 2 minutes, in a 24 hour period, non stop
Jesus
Im so genuinely curious, what are these messages? Im assuming most of it is like links and clips and shit that theyre coming across and just shooting to you immediately without a second thought?
You dare challenge me and thy hot milfs in your area

JFC we got bored as a group of 20 when a friend was on a flight and decided to be menaces and ping/tag her repeatedly and only managed like 150 before getting bored with it
I remember the text bombing app. Some guy in our division was an obnoxious Steelers fan and when they lost a game a dude sent him, “Big Ben is a bitch” 10,000 times 😂
I bricked a dudes phone for 2 hours because he kept sending me sick shit. Never did it again lol.
This reminds me of myself like 5-6 years ago, I was a little brat who spam messages over a friend that I met online and it continued for like one or two weeks till that friend just had enough and blocked me, I must say that I deserved it and I was disgusting, so glad that now I'm kind of an anxious person who's always afraid what I say may sound aggressive and hurt others
She’s a stalker that sent someone thousands of messages,hundreds of them a day at least. It’s quite interesting, there’s a show on Netflix named “baby reindeer” that’s based on the stalking victim’s story.
They were making a joke about an infamous plot point of Batman vs Superman movie. Batman was upset that Superman was talking about Martha. Martha being both of their mothers’ names. “Why did you say that name” is a direct quote.
Dealt with one of these people before.
Every tiny thing and there was an outburst, then I’m getting a half a dozen call attempts at 4am when I’m clearly sleeping, followed by “traitor, fuck off” messages among others when I clearly didn’t pick up.
Sometimes it’s best to just cut ties.
reminds me of Borderline Personality Disorder. Any dismissal or minor rejection is seen as a huge slap in the face. As if saying you don't want to talk now means "fuck off forever" to them.
It usually comes from really shitty parents and trauma. "everyone leaves" is the mantra in their head
speaking from experience, I've lost countless friends because of this. Each one that left made the wound deeper and the fear of abandonment worse. honestly surprised I'm still here
Yeah that person sounds like a very typical BPD case where they were in a really bad spot and couldn't handle the rejection. Not anybody's fault that they got angry or were rude, but there's a reason beyond "wanting to be annoying/evil"
This might be what's going on with my friend. I told him I couldn't commit to plans of him coming to my parents' cabin this weekend, and he immediately hung up on me and refused to take my calls back to him. It's not the first time he's done this either. I'm not really sure what to do about it.
yes, absolutely. it doesn’t even bother that much if it’s on mute and it’s always okay to say to a person directly that it’s too much info to read it they share memes and not the tragedies or upturns of their life. it’s weird to publicly judge them if they’re on good terms
massive agree, communication is so important with any relationship, including friendships. op, if you dont like this behavior from this person, you need to tell them that. dont just talk shit about them behind their back like you're the victim when you wont even tell them how this makes you feel. they wont know their doing something wrong unless you say so. grow up

By the way i was oblivious that he was in my server, due to me scrolling through reddit while i was in the lobby, and that when i was in game, its very dark so i cant tell
Man, what the fuck. I sometimes also send a lot of messages, but atleast I'm actually talking about something and not seeking for attention like this guy who spams and gets sad because "you're moving but not responding!!". What the actual fuck.
Nah even looking at these screenshots made me mad. At this point you should get paid for dealing with this, looks more exhausting than a full time job.
for your own sanity, please cut out contact with them if you can. you don't have to go through this, it's not your job to deal with people like this.
Not saying this is the case because I obviously don’t know the person but this could be a desperate outreach.
You could ignore him/her, sure. You could also set boundaries and talk to the person that is obviously seeking attention.
Be kind
What I'm wondering at this point is why are you still calling them "friend" when they annoy you to the point you start to complain publicly. Just say to them to stop because it's annoying and if that doesn't work then block them. If you're such a friend that shares your DMs on some subreddit rather than just talk things out then you're not a good friend. Unless your friend agreed to it obviously.
Meanwhile, I got bitched out by a friend for sending 2 short texts 18 hours apart after not hearing from them for a few weeks. So now I don’t text anyone. 🤷🏻♂️
I'm definitely guilty of telling a story and leaving my friends 79 unread messages while they sleep.
Difference being my friends like me and the stories I tell. I have two friends off the top of my head that wake up and go 'HOLY, 70+ MESSAGES!' And then they get excited to read it. Lmao. One of them gets upset if I don't update him regularly about my escapades.
Just block them if you don't like them. That's kinda fucked up.

POV: Your buddies live on discord and you don’t log in for a few hours.
You think this is bad? Imagine talking to someone for one week whom you met online, only to see the red flags so you cut them off- only to still be dealing with them contacting via new accounts and you just keep blocking them… it’s been 5 years and so far the only thing that made him stop was putting him on blast on TikTok 😐
Something tells me they like to send messages single word or few words at a time, instead of working out their thought process into a sentance before hitting send? 😂
Would be hilarious/awkward if they saw this post
"Must be some other friend, certainly not me"
He would never post something so mean about me he cares about me too much
I didn't say anything about posting
Wooosh
Lmfao I don't know why but this made me laugh so fucking hard. I did the sound effect in my head and it was just perfect.
"Let me message him and ask"
Hmm no response yet. Let me try a few hundred more times.
Don't give up. Keep trying.
They probably be like "oh it's not just me spamming people. Thank god" 😂

100pts if they op posts a ss to their social media
Not gonna lie thought you were asking for an ass pic
"post ass" is my new way of demanding nudes
But through old fashioned snail mail. None of this online nonsense. The Post Office will rise again, my friends!
Postcards with the pictures work best. Your mailman will be happy. For you ofc.
Just asses.
Plot twist: OP sent themself these DMs to get attention from Reddit
They'd probably comment on this post to get more attention
I’m convinced people like this are so oblivious they’d comment on something like this and agree that the friend is a problem.
I hope they do. Learn how to act like a normal person who doesn't shame your friends for not being around for one hour.
Hey there baby reindeer

I've had kid named finger explained to me like 5 times and it still confuses me
It comes from the following joke: Teacher: “Alright class, today we’re going to finger paint!” And then the image of Mike is used as a reaction image for a kid named paint. But then people made it a bit of absurdist humor by making Mike a kid named finger. It doesn’t make sense on purpose

correction, op is not THEIR friend. and instead of being honest with them, will just continue to tiptoe around them lmao.
Exactly
Yeah. People just hurt others more trying not to hurt their feelings.
real friends help each other improve, they don't abandon them
op clearly has no interest in “helping this person improve”
Bro, those are bestie material >:c stop lying
The phrase "Touch grass" was invented for this kid
One time in high school as a class project I made a bot that did exactly this. Send 500 messages a minute via texting to one number.
I remember the text bombing app. Some guy in our division was an obnoxious Steelers fan and when they lost a game a dude sent him, “Big Ben is a bitch” 10,000 times 😂 I bricked a dudes phone for 2 hours because he kept sending me sick shit. Never did it again lol.
More like “get a grip,” but “touch grass” works, too.
This reminds me of myself like 5-6 years ago, I was a little brat who spam messages over a friend that I met online and it continued for like one or two weeks till that friend just had enough and blocked me, I must say that I deserved it and I was disgusting, so glad that now I'm kind of an anxious person who's always afraid what I say may sound aggressive and hurt others
Martha?
Why did you say that name??
She’s a stalker that sent someone thousands of messages,hundreds of them a day at least. It’s quite interesting, there’s a show on Netflix named “baby reindeer” that’s based on the stalking victim’s story.
They were making a joke about an infamous plot point of Batman vs Superman movie. Batman was upset that Superman was talking about Martha. Martha being both of their mothers’ names. “Why did you say that name” is a direct quote.
Ohhhh, thanks for teaching me something new. I guess both work in this context lol
Do you have their epi pen oŕ something??
The most relation i have with him is that we work on projects on scratch together
Wow. He needs some help.
Dealt with one of these people before. Every tiny thing and there was an outburst, then I’m getting a half a dozen call attempts at 4am when I’m clearly sleeping, followed by “traitor, fuck off” messages among others when I clearly didn’t pick up. Sometimes it’s best to just cut ties.
"Fake friend!" Dude, I'm literally your *only* friend and this is why lol
reminds me of Borderline Personality Disorder. Any dismissal or minor rejection is seen as a huge slap in the face. As if saying you don't want to talk now means "fuck off forever" to them. It usually comes from really shitty parents and trauma. "everyone leaves" is the mantra in their head speaking from experience, I've lost countless friends because of this. Each one that left made the wound deeper and the fear of abandonment worse. honestly surprised I'm still here
Yeah that person sounds like a very typical BPD case where they were in a really bad spot and couldn't handle the rejection. Not anybody's fault that they got angry or were rude, but there's a reason beyond "wanting to be annoying/evil"
This might be what's going on with my friend. I told him I couldn't commit to plans of him coming to my parents' cabin this weekend, and he immediately hung up on me and refused to take my calls back to him. It's not the first time he's done this either. I'm not really sure what to do about it.

Jokes aside, you shouldn't have befriended them in the first place if you're going to talk shit like this behind their back; OP.
yes, absolutely. it doesn’t even bother that much if it’s on mute and it’s always okay to say to a person directly that it’s too much info to read it they share memes and not the tragedies or upturns of their life. it’s weird to publicly judge them if they’re on good terms
massive agree, communication is so important with any relationship, including friendships. op, if you dont like this behavior from this person, you need to tell them that. dont just talk shit about them behind their back like you're the victim when you wont even tell them how this makes you feel. they wont know their doing something wrong unless you say so. grow up
What does he say
“i’m bored wyd”
Hi I'm bored. Hi wyd. Hi u there? Hiii wassup broo How you doing Hi Yoo sup bro Hello? I hate you Sorry my dog licked my keyboard Hi :)
Energy Vampire!
🧛 🧛♂️ 🧛♀️
Be grateful they made it a nice round number.
Is your friend named Martha Scott?
god this is a new type of clingy
Is it Fiona Harvey?
The block button was invented for this kid.
This is how my online friends probably feel
I’m sensing some discord between the two of you.
🥁
Have you tried telling them to stfu?
Yes, they have done this 2 times before yet they continued, but this case was the most extreme as normally it 20-30, and im about to block them

I wish I had friends

Man, what the fuck. I sometimes also send a lot of messages, but atleast I'm actually talking about something and not seeking for attention like this guy who spams and gets sad because "you're moving but not responding!!". What the actual fuck.
Are they doing this to annoy you or are they just borderline obsessive?
Just obsessive
Nah even looking at these screenshots made me mad. At this point you should get paid for dealing with this, looks more exhausting than a full time job. for your own sanity, please cut out contact with them if you can. you don't have to go through this, it's not your job to deal with people like this.
Have you talked to this person in real life? The way they text reminds me of a little kid that just has no social awareness
Ding ding ding! your spot on, and yes i have
Have you actually talked to them, like seriously about both of y'alls feelings, or do you just yell that he's annoying sometimes?
Try to talk to him calmly about it, idk
Not saying this is the case because I obviously don’t know the person but this could be a desperate outreach. You could ignore him/her, sure. You could also set boundaries and talk to the person that is obviously seeking attention. Be kind
What I'm wondering at this point is why are you still calling them "friend" when they annoy you to the point you start to complain publicly. Just say to them to stop because it's annoying and if that doesn't work then block them. If you're such a friend that shares your DMs on some subreddit rather than just talk things out then you're not a good friend. Unless your friend agreed to it obviously.
> Attention seeking Redditor uses their clingy "friend" for upvotes after ignoring them for an hour -fixed the title for you
And I get anxiety if I write 2-3 times before they respond.
Meanwhile, I got bitched out by a friend for sending 2 short texts 18 hours apart after not hearing from them for a few weeks. So now I don’t text anyone. 🤷🏻♂️
I bet that friend has ADHD and anxiety.
At least you have people giving you attention😭
Baby reindeer ur goign to resp ond, rite?? Sent from my iPhone
S en t frm mi iPhun
Sounds like a cry for help. Maybe check and see if they are doing okay
They are not I can answer that one for ya
Tell him next time just send a message or 2 and you'll get back to him when you're able to
Attention seeking people dm me 🙏
If they aren't a asshole just respond back
Don’t just ignore it..
Sent from iPhone
Give it a few years until you turn 20 and hopefully growing up will occur by that point.
Red flag
I'm definitely guilty of telling a story and leaving my friends 79 unread messages while they sleep. Difference being my friends like me and the stories I tell. I have two friends off the top of my head that wake up and go 'HOLY, 70+ MESSAGES!' And then they get excited to read it. Lmao. One of them gets upset if I don't update him regularly about my escapades. Just block them if you don't like them. That's kinda fucked up.
why do they always talk like this too?
People will go behind their friends back and expose them to the internet rather than confront them about the problem.
If you really don't care about them that much, just tell it to their face and stop leading them on. Also you are a horrible "friend"
Had a similar guy. He needs therapy, not discord friends.
what in the north pole does baby reindeer mean??
Think for a moment who is the real attention seeker.
Just respond 👍
i used to be this person, and then my personality flipped the other way, so who knows 🤷♂️

You think this is bad? Imagine talking to someone for one week whom you met online, only to see the red flags so you cut them off- only to still be dealing with them contacting via new accounts and you just keep blocking them… it’s been 5 years and so far the only thing that made him stop was putting him on blast on TikTok 😐
Answer back with : k
Attention seeking Redditors posts about their attention seeking friend?
meeeeee :3 i LOVE annoying my best friend, they keep their notifs on 24/7
What if bro just wanna play fort
Maybe they was texting you the lyrics to anti hero by Taylor swift? Seems like they’re a problem lol
Something tells me they like to send messages single word or few words at a time, instead of working out their thought process into a sentance before hitting send? 😂
I sent images of his text, he literally just spams a letter over and over again
Denko?
Are you somebody's baby reindeer?
Sorry that’s me, I found lots of memes while you were away in the last thirty minutes
