Great list. When I read the title all I can picture is Susan Powter saying, "Stop the Pinsanity" in her trademarked manner.
@susansilver That would be a great SNL commercial. :D

I am just wondering if Peggy used that video because it had a cat in it at the end. (hee hee).
@reneedobbs It needs a note that says "no kitties were harmed in the making of this video."

Great list..I am sure we could go on and on but it takes away from our pinning time! How about when you start wearing 'Depends' for those extra long sessions?

The very worst is of course #11. Shuko and Braun circle my keyboard when the cat pins are more prevalent than the cat food. However there is a good side to obsessive "pinning" and I asked one designer why she seemed to pin 24/7 (and I think she actually did) and she said it helped her lose weight, as she was too busy pinning to eat pretzels! Great fun posts, Thanks Peggy.
@CASUDI That is hilarious! I just thought it would be fun to poke a little fun at pinning. I love it and may be guilty of a few of these. :)
