Biggest Houzz Pet Peeve

12 years ago
My biggest pet peeve on Houzz is see posts from Houzzers who don't bother to read the whole discussion before posting their comments. If the thread is long, at least, read from the bottom up to be sure that you're not repeating what someone else has already posted. To me, it is much like someone at a social gathering waltzing up to a small group and putting in their two cents without having any idea of what is being said. In real life, we are taught to listen before we speak. Translate that to Houzz and READ before you POST!

    Er I haven't read the whole post but ... Lol !!
    I have read it all - each and every word ! Loving the sirens Margo !!! Where's the moose head ?!?!

    My biggest pet peeve is when all the lovely Houzzers give advice or suggest something and the original poster is nowhere to be seen ! It's such a shame !!! Do they post and run ?!

    Great idea for a thread Mgp ! :-)

    Rhonda, you are so correct. However, some really are sweeties and it is a chronic issue, not that they are too lazy to read all comments.

    So, you have the good and the bad commenters. And, yeah, some seem very redundant, but what can you do? You can't force people to read every comment as some threads are super long, as you know.

    But I certainly get where you are coming from and it can be cathartic to vent. ~D

    My biggest pet peeve right now is that I see no way to delete my "Recommended Photos" on "My Houzz". I have had some from awhile ago and do not want them anymore but cannot figure out how to delete them. HELP!

    If anyone of power is reading this, they are all the Eclectic Farmhouse photos. I made a very short "Ideabook" from them but do not want the rest of the photos.

    Thank you!!!

    Yes, D. Venting here helps me to keep from running rampant on some poor OP's thread. The ones I get most upset with are the so-called "pros" that pop in, see the picture, poop out some advice and then take off without ever comprehending at all what is going on. If they think it's helping their image, they need to think again.

    Oh you don't do that and you know it. You get in there and actually help. In my mind, I imagine them as the self-centered, gossip girls you see on tv and the movies that have everyone waiting on them hand and foot. Soooo annoying.

    Tee hee ! When I first came on Houzz one particularly helpful houzzer gave me a lesson on how to post and to put numbers in my answer , space my sentences and statements and things!!! I felt like I was back at school ! I'm sure she meant well - but it was akin to ' this is my playground and this is how and what we play '

    whoa....that would have been a bit ...actually...don't even have a word for how that would have made me feel...

    That Houzzer must cringe then at some of the spelling errors! We all do those, I hope, and for little typos, I really just read them correctly anyway. But some, yikes!

    Now my husband can't spell at all. Horrible. The way he was taught in school is the problem. My brother as well. We were both taught differently, thank God, and I do a pretty good job if I say so myself. Of course, I don't mean to a point of being illiterate. Like Dan Quayle that could not spell potatoes. "No, it is spelled potatos". Or however he did it.

    I find my fingers type what they want to, sometimes. I'm thinking 'concept' and they type 'catastrophe'. Thank you to anyone who has noticed and been too kind to comment on it. It's got something to do with messages in the brain taking the more accustomed route rather than the neural road less travelled. I don't mind bad spelling, especially as some posters aren't writing in their home language.

    I think disappearing original posters may be my pet peeve, though life can be demanding and disappearances for a while are easy to understand and don't matter. At least we all get to talk to each other and keep on learning.

    Actually, in the comments sections ... I wish, especially in a long thread, that you could reply specifically to a commenters comment and not just wherever you show up in the the thread with the "@" - And I wish there was a better to personally message folk.
    And I'm always peeved when I give the very best advice ever and everyone doesn't instantly Like it :-) What's up with that? LOL
