I'm too busy wasting my time to bother with faffing.

Of course it is..... mostly.
The bigger question is... who is presumptuous enough to parse and catigorize the faffage?
What's next? Percentile ratings on the alleged offenders?
Edited to add:
We need a poll!

The term for faffing can be as long or as short as you desire.

Faffing is just nonsense

It's really quite a good word. I like definition #3: The excessive use of time for nonsense activities

The older I get, the faffier I get. And proud of it. Sorta.

To faff or not to faff, THAT is the question....
But I guess if I think about it for long, I've already decided...

I've been faffing my entire life, and never knew it. Until today.

Oh, you can try to not open these kind of threads--but the Evil Power of teh Internets compels you, sapping your free will and forcing you not only to open it but to read every post (no matter how many pages there are!), kicking and screaming (figuratively, at least) all the while. I hate when that happens.

It reminds me of the old joke:
An elderly woman calls police to complain that a man in a neighboring house has been exposing himself as he showers because he doesn't pull his window blind. The police arrive, look out her window, and claim they can't even see his bathroom window. The woman responds "of course not, you've got to stand on the bureau to see anything".
