Even after all this time...

[MamaBee]

it still annoys me when people call "making a book" using Shutterfly pages or printing a chatbook as digi scrapbooking...

Don't get me wrong, I've used their templates to make books, quickly... but I don't tell other people that is what digi scrapping is...

What are some of your annoyances that still bother you, after a long time...

[rach3975]

In the moment there are lots of little things that annoy me. But right now, trying to think of something...I remember nothing. This memory is why I scrap, LOL! Kids asking for help then ignoring what I suggested and continuing to fuss and whine is high on my list, but that seems so obvious that it hardly counts.

When they think digi-scrapbooking is just putting elements here and there and that's it.
When hubby thinks that it's not necessary to 'keep' buying kits. Having a certain number of kits is enough to scrap any themes and photos! *grrrr*

People who use comma splices in professional writing (even though I know that hardly anyone knows what that is or cares)

e.g.

We had a great time at the fair, the weather was great.

which should be

We had a great time at the fair, and the weather was great.
We had a great time at the fair; the weather was great.
We had a great time at the fair. The weather was great.

Yes to this! Bad grammar in general just annoys me to no end.

Also....my ex husband. I should be used to his ridiculousness after all these years, but he still finds a way to get under my skin.

Yes this for sure! Recently I had to actually stop half way on a pedestrian crossing to let a car through that was approaching and not stopping even though I was there first and already crossing AND I had Keaton in the pram

People who say "reason why". It's either this is the reason or this is why. They don't go together. Sports broadcasters are the worst offenders.

This commercial is hilarious, but it's also quite annoying as a scrapbooker!

I read this and was like, "wait, what?" So I looked it up and technically "reason why" is proper usage but using "the reason why" with "is because" is incorrect, so it depends how they used it. Who knew, I learned something new today.

My biggest frustration is when people say "oh that's a nice collage you created" or the best "what app did you use?" Seriously, gets under my skin annoyed with those two phrases!

It's dangerous to be a car or pedestrian anywhere near DC!! I hated driving around town during tourist season. Sometimes you would sit at a cross-walk for ages and see other driver speed past, missing pedestrians!!

That's a neat app, for people who don't scrap (like my sister). But I still like being able to journal and add my own touches to each layout. Funny commercial, kind of irritating but still a good laugh and neat concept!

Oh, yes, the photobooks comments are annoying.
