NWR: pinterest...i could use your help
Ok so if you have pinterest I was hoping you could help me. As of right now they dont have anything where you can block people. Could you all email them and ask them for this option to be made available?
I have a "friend" who is seriously my little copycat and is following my every move and when she found out I was on pinterest, she immediatley got on and is seriously stalking my every pin. She comments on everything and then takes my pins and reposts them...omg...its just annoying. She has been horrible the last year or so. She tried stealing my wedding if that makes any sense. When we both first got engaged we would talk about our plans, but that all stopped when I realized she was taking all my ideas and using them in her wedding. So I changed all my plans after that and now she follows my every move on pinterest and I cant handle it anymore. I would call her out on it like I have in the past but guess what, before she went psycho stalker on me, I asked her to be a BM so right now I am stuck with her stalker ways. Cant wait until after the wedding so I can approach her about everything that shes been doing.
So anyways, I figured if a ton of people email them, they may make blocking people an option sooner than later. Thanks for your help and sorry for the vent I am just super stressed out and she isnt helping.

That's the whole POINT of Pinterest. If you don't like it, I suggest you dont use it.

Ditto J. I find it a compliment when my friends repin my stuff, it means they like my taste. Get over it.
And it would be absolutely ridiculous for you to "call her on it," being that that's the whole point of the site. If you're concerned about her "stealing your wedding" I would just not pin wedding ideas.
I think you really missed the point of Pinterest.

And as far as the wedding things goes, we both would talk and she'd say "oh I am doing this, what are you doing?" and I would say "I am doing this." Then when we'd talk again later, she would have changed all of her plans and was all of a sudden doing the things that I had said I was going to do. I caught on and told her I was doing a bunch of stuff and guess what? She did all of those things at her wedding and kept making comments like "Oh well I hope your wedding turns out as great as mine. I did so much research for it" No she didnt! She literally just did everything I said I was going to do. Little did she know I had told her pretty much everything I wasnt going to do :O)
Dont worry about it Ill just keep emailing pinterest
[QUOTE]No guys. Pinterest is just the latest thing with her. She has always been my little follower and I dont like it. Weve grown up together and she has always tried to be me. I guess you guys just havent had anyone like this in your lives. She got better at one point and we started to become close again and I asked her to be a BM and then it all started again.

</div><div>Clearly, that was the mature thing to do.</div><div>
</div><div>I was a BM in a friend's wedding a few years ago. Then she was a BM in mine. We got married in the same town, in the same church. We even both had cake! And dancing! And we both wore big white dresses! And had a DJ! Yeah, she totally should have called me out for copying her. I'm clearly a douchey stalkerbitch. And? I did it before Pinterest was even invented. Clearly my stalking skills are far superior to your friends. So HA.

</div><div>Personally, I think you are making a big deal out of nothing. Thinking too much into something that is probably very innocent. But if you have such an issue with her doing this, then why don't you just meet up for coffee and ask her what is going on. </div>

I don't understand the whole "she's stealing my wedding from me" mentality. If, she is in fact stealing every idea you have (which I highly doubt) than she's basically not getting the wedding she wants. At some point it will hit her that nothing she has is what she truly wants.
ps, Zombie, I LOVE your siggy! I seriously lol'd for a minute or two

I'm sorry. I still think it's a really stupid thing to get all crazy about.

Did you also think she needs to stop wearing those beautiful white gold hoop earrings her parents gave her for Chanukah because hoops are "your thing"?
