OK, so I'll admit that sometimes I am completely nit-picky, but I wanted to see if anyone shared my CC pet peeve...

Here it is....

I can't stand when someone posts a great picture and then explains in their description of the cake or object how they did a particular skill and then you read down in the comments where people ask "hey how did you....blah, blah, blah".

It is SO ANNOYING TO ME!! Read the descriptions people! I mean if someone worked their tush of on whatever it is their posting AND they posted HOW they did something specific, gosh darn it - READ IT!!! We all work so hard, don't just admire the picture and not read about it.

Laughing Laughing Laughing OK, ok (is it that time of the month) so as I said....sometimes I nit-pick, but I had to get that off my chest and maybe someone out there shares my pet peeve!! Very Happy

I guess it might be annoying if they posted the exact same thing as the cake creator described, but then they probably would just like more detailed instructions. I think most people here on CC love to help others out, we all learn from eachother!! I would love someone to ask how I did something...would let ya know that they REALLY liked your cake!!! Very Happy

true, true....

I just found it rude myself when I looked at someone's cake and read their description and then someone asked how they did something, when all they needed to do was read the description!

CC is the best, we all help each other out - I think I just need some chocolate and all will be better Laughing

Yes, that happens alot!! And lots of similar things, like someone will post a recipe and then four posts later someone will ask for the recipe. It's especially annoying when it's on the same page!! Smile

One of my pet peeves is when someone asks a SPECIFIC question like "do you know how to mix the color maroon?" and there's always SOMEONE who will answer something like "just use red instead, tell the customer that you're making it red" Uh, no!! The question was how do you make maroon!! I see that one often! I sometimes think people answer just to answer, whether they can help the person or not. Oh well, gotta take the good with the bad I guess!

I have to agree with jessieb578, it's irritating! Or someone explains something in a thread and the same question is asked again a few lines down....grrrrrrrrr

My little pet peeve is the double and triple posts. Cool ..If you accidently post more than once, just hit the little X at the top right corner and delete your duplicate posts. It is right next to the "edit" button. Wink Thanks for letting me get that out, now I feel better! Laughing

I see things along the same line in some where someone asks a question like how did you..?? the person who made the cake answers then five posts later someone else asks the same question......didn't they see the question was already asked and answered?????

OK...I'll chime in, too.


I agree with ya, Jessieb...it's annoying! READ the description!!

I also get annoyed with a description isn't posted............but that's just me. Maybe I am getting picky in my old age!

My pet peeve is when people post their cake on a thread saying "look at this". And its not their first time doing it, they just want to get people looking at it. Isnt that what posting the pictures in the galleries are for? Maybe Im just a biatch but it annoys the heck out of me. Because their cake will automatically go into favorites and the cake that you consider to be the best cake of your career that you just posted barely gets three people looking at it!

I wish everyone would type a description when they post their picture. There's been times when I would have to ask a question, because there wouldn't be anything about what they had done.

I agree about posting cakes in threads...it's just fishing for more looks. I admit I did it once because I was excited about a cake that got no notice, but then it kindof made me cringe that I had! Never again! Smile

I also wish people would be more clear in their subject lines. Sometimes they're so vague and I open the thread, but couldn't possibly contribute. Sometimes those same folks are annoyed they got so many views and no responses. Rolling Eyes

Now...nobody get mad at this thread. It helps us be better CC'ers to know what's annoying! Thumbs Up!

I don't think this is always because someone didn't read the thread. I think sometimes this happens because of the way the replies post to the thread. Maybe two people are asking the same question at the same time and they post to the thread at the same time (did that make sense?).

Yes that may be true sometimes, but not always. I wasn't trying to get at situations like that to irritate anyone. Sorry if I did.

Venting is all and well, but do these types of things really actually annoy anyone that much? Come on . . . it's an informal forum about cake - this isn't life or death stuff here.
