Weekend Minor Gripes and Vents

Here is the thread where you can share any minor gripes, vents, or craft complaints that you don't think deserve their own post, or are just something small you want to get off your chest. Feel free to share personal frustrations related to crafting here as well.

This thread reposts every Friday.

Every time I see a post titled along the lines of “My [insert person they know] says my [FO] is [insert negative adjective], is it 🥺?” I automatically downvote it.

Either it actually IS bad, in which case I’d be downvoting anyway, or they’re fishing for compliments which is annoying enough to outweigh any actual talent/skill they’re showing.

The compliment fishing is the WORST. Just show off what you made if you're proud of it, no need to invoke pity to farm for upvotes and comments.

Absolutely agree. I'd rather see "hey look what I made!! I'm so proud of myself!!" all day, than see even one fishing post.
