What is your crafting world pet peeve?
Mine is cling rubber stamps that print the image on a clear backer sheet rather than on the foam part.

Mine is alphas where they give you the same quantity of commonly used letters as X,Y, & Z. Stupid!

Stickers that aren’t cut all the way through on the diecut line so the stupid thing rips when you try to take it off the sheet, especially if it’s the only one on the sheet and now it’s ruined. Diecut things that have the icky little bits that have to be trimmed off. Cling stamps that don’t stick to the block, grrr. Adhesives that don’t stay stuck.

Nice stamp sets that have sentiments in teeny tiny print that requires a magnifying glass to read like SSS sets.

Brand new markers that are dried out.
Adhesive that doesn’t hold causing an embellishment avalanche in your album.
Dies that are sold in one piece and have to be cut apart leaving little sharp pieces to stab you later.

Stickers that don’t stick. Never enough letter e’s. Rubber embellishments leaving an oily residue.

When you buy packaged cardstock (like Bazzill online at Joann) and one of the corners is smashed in. Really?  |

Stickers that don't stick, alphas without enough of the letters I NEED, stamps that tear when you use them for the first time, the little backings on the pop dots that KEEPS STICKING TO MY CLOTHES AND WON'T COME OFF, glitter that gets all over the place when it was supposed to stay on the embellishment, warped chipboard pieces, page protectors that open up on the sealed edge when you slide something in, spelling errors, colors that are just a touch off and therefore you must run out to get the exact color immediately, attempting to find the stickers I KNOW I had but are now MIA, running out of adhesive when you're on a streak... Okay, I really do love this hobby, but this was fun.  |

Several things mentioned already - like useless sets of alpha stickers and stamp sets with teeny tiny sentiments.

Sparked by the video poll, I dislike videos where the presenter isn’t prepared to film, and babbles or films facing themselves when its a process viseo. And for pete’s sake if you are showing me a die or stamp please show what it looks like in use.

And for pete’s sake if you are showing me a die or stamp please show what it looks like in use. I hate all of the background events that happen. If you are filming, your husband shouldn't come in and ask you a question or a screaming baby in the background prompts a long story about how sick your kid is. Stop filming. Take care of the baby. Edit out your husband's questions. I do, however, love it when a cat comes walking through the filming. Cats doing their thing belong in scrapping videos. |

I can’t stand that chipboard thickers don’t stick to anything...they don’t stick to layouts or the backing paper in the packages.

Since you said crafting world, and not just scrapbooking, anyone who undermines true talent and subsequent cost of that talent and/or supplies.
Scrapbooking-wise, I'd say anyone who won't share where a product is from or a technique they used. I feel like I know the jist of it now, but in the early days people could be so rude! Like I was asking for the actual layout they were working on when all I'd say was, "that layout is fabulous. How did you distress the edges like that?"
Edit: actually I just recently saw this happen. I'm in a secret SVG group on Facebook that shares primarily Disney images for home use in crafts. A member used images to create a beautiful layout, and then shared it to a scrapbook layout group I'm in. Anyone who asked how she did it she would say, sorry, I can't say. She could have at a minimum said how the images were created by tracing in inkscape, but no.

Nice stamp sets that have sentiments in teeny tiny print that requires a magnifying glass to read like SSS sets. And when you stamp the teeny tiny sentiment the ink blobs up and looks like crap because the letters are too close together. |

Most everything named except I don't stamp so none of those peeves. I echo especially the stickers that won't stick, stickers that won't come off the sheet (like the chipboard ones where the adhesive pulls away from the sticker) and then when there aren't enough letters to make a title, even if I buy two sheets.
Then also sticker related, those tiny squares of alphabets. I'm sorry but there is not a time I can foresee when I will use those, so just stop filling up my die cut sheet with those tiny stickers.
It's very early so I may revisit as other things come to mind.

I felt like I should and quote everyone here!! I agreed with everything!! But I think non-sticking thickers without enough common letters riles me most!!
Edited to note my Pea title switched!! Apparently, I am chatty these days!!

Edited to note my Pea title switched!! Apparently, I am chatty these days!! WOO HOO!!! Congrats on being Unstoppable!! I agreed with everything!! But I think non-sticking thickers without enough common letters riles me most!! I could have written this. I don't mind if other stickers need a bit of glue, but to glue every letter in my title. No wonder I leave them off a lot of layouts or use my silhouette to die cut a welded word. I do have one more peeve. When papers aren't true to size!! I felt like you cheated me. I just found out FPD Millie and June collection pack wasn't. I don't normally measure and need precise 12x12 but if you sell me a 12x12, I expect a 12x12. |

Those cats walk where they shit, for god's sake! I don't care if they lick it all off during their disgusting self-grooming; I still know this in my brain and I cannot watch beyond that point. |

Alpha square stickers where the squares are different sizes. I just used a set at a crop that drove me batty because it looks ridiculous on the finished layout. The c's, e's etc. are much shorter than the b's, d's t's, etc. and the m's & w's are wider than the other letters. You can't avoid seeing it because the background of the square is dark blue and stands out on the layout and looks clunky.
I also don't like mixed font alpha sets. My Little Shoebox & Making Memories alpha squares were like this & I rarely used those and still have them sitting in my stash. Once in a while I pull them out & try to use them. I really wish Carolee's Adornit still made their mini alpha squares. They were awesome, as were October Afternoon's larger ones.
