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

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...
 
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. :p 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 :crying:
 
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.

I read this and was like, "wait, what?" :D 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. :D

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!!

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

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!
