Use of exaggeration - is it too much?

Reading through the forums one is bound to find users who use expressions that exaggerate what they are saying almost to a point of being ridiculous

The first kind is those who can't grasp the relationship between numbers, for example

• My x phone can run a billion times faster than y phone - really? How did you measure that?
• It takes a million years to open this app - so when was the app developed?
• The photos are a zillion times worse - ever tried a VGA camera from an old Nokia 7250?

Then there's that group that have a poor concept of time

• The app takes forever to load - are you immortal?
• The photos take years to load - seriously?
• The resuming screen is taking too long - 3 seconds is too long?

Then we have users using expressions that have become boring or irritating

• My phone runs buttery smooth - when did butter become smooth? My butter is frozen and it takes a lot of effort to get slices from it
• My phone has become a heap of hot slag - do you even know what slag is?
• My phone is so hot it can fry an egg - was it more than 80 degrees C?

We also have those that exaggerate what they have done or not done

• I have tried everything but nothing works - ask them have you tried this, no, tried that, no - give 5 options and none have been tried
• The app crashes all the time - how many times did it crash again? 2?

I'm not trying to insult anyone but just showing the unrealistic posts that I come across sometimes.
If you have any that you have seen, post below
