I like the pictures.
I do. I really do. I'm a visual learner, and being able to gorge myself on ideas is quite satisfying.
However.
I typically troll the home décor section of ol' Pinterest, seeing as how I have an old house that will never be done-ish. I've found Pinterest to be a good way to research period details of my house. This has made slogging past all the McMansion posts to be a worthwhile endeavor.
However.
You know what really kills me? It's the comments.
"Must do!"
"Posting so I remember this when I have a house / baby / garden / bigger house / bigger baby / what-have-you!"
"Wish I'd done this."
Ugh. It's just all these women shoulding all over themselves. Like we aren't good enough, with our right-enough homes and our just-fine interior design.
No. Instead, we have to shame ourselves by publicly posting to-do lists and reminders of our own perceived inadequacies.
Most of my pins have just 1-word descriptions - really insightful stuff like "Entryway" or "Kitchen." Enough so that search can function. But I refuse to attach any kind of action or emotion to them. Because I am a crotchety old biddy who does not have the time to make freakish lists of impractical to-dos or OCD regrets.
And don't even get me started on the grammar on Pinterest. Oh, sweet Jesus.

I do like to go in and add comments when I have used a pinned recipe or other tip. But yeah, I'll keep my pre-trial motivations to myself.
Totally!! If I see another "YOUR SUCH A GOOD ARTIST!" or "THEIRS A TON OF GOOD IDEAS HEAR!" I'm going to spit up.
Agreed, especially when the pinner is planning for a life event that won't take place for years. "SOMEDAY WHEN I OWN A 'HOME'" could be years away and most likely your tastes will have changed by then. I do like the pictures though, and I have found some good recipes through pinterest.
Pinterest and I have kind of let space grow between us. It's for the best. We're passing acquaintances these days.
I usually pin cocktails, cookies, and the occasional picture of Eddie Vedder so it's all good. However, I would LOVE a Pinterest Tattoo filter. good lord, are these people serious?
