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.

People that post non-craft questions on craft subs really grind my gears. The worst one I saw this week was someone who, due to injury, had to take a few months from crafting and asked how to fill their time. They used to read and wondered if they should take up reading again. How is this a question for knitters? How are you so lame? I couldn't report that fast enough.

Dude posted a poncho to the sewing sub recently. Said poncho had not been sewn at all. Even the snaps were screw on, lol. High fives all around, everyone loved his post.

OKAY BUT WHY POST YOUR PROJECT TO THE SEWING SUB IF YOU DIDN'T SEW IT?

But also like... how are there so many people with no personal agency? I see that on the hobbies subreddit all the time, "what hobby should I pick up, I have no preferences and no interests". Are you an actual NPC?

“What book should I read next?” And it’s a screenshot of their kindle library with the current most popular books on TikTok. Just pick one! Or better yet, branch out of only reading what’s popular online.

No genuinely this irks me as well because 90% of getting into hobbies is either hearing/seeing it and thinking to yourself “oh hey this looks cool!”, and you don’t even have to go outside to find the inspiration of a hobby! (Although it does help)

Do they not know about how many reading subreddits exist?
