That's exactly the sentiment Allison Tyler had, which inspired her to create the Tumblr WTF Pinterest.
"I started the site on a whim, as a place to share the things that run through my head when I see ridiculous items on Pinterest," says Tyler. "I didn't realize it would resonate with so many others."
The site averages about 50,000 hits a week, with most coming directly, and Pinterest itself being the biggest outside source of traffic.
According to Tyler, the posts that get pinned the most are the silly posters she's made herself that poke fun at Pinterest users. One, for example, is "Pinebriated: When you can't remember if you've already pinned that."
As far as the weirdness goes, Tyler says "you have to take what you see with a grain of salt — but people re-pin the craziest things as truth, and don't seem to feel the need to investigate and discover if the pins are even based in fact."
We've round up ten of the weirdest pins we could find from WTF Pinterest. What's the weirdest thing you've come across on Pinterest? Let us know in the comments.

"Crazy Aunt Flow sure was crafty, but her gifts always came with a string attached."
"Ursula just loved nibbling on babies! Their cute wee toes! Those tiny fingers! Oh, such chubby little cheeks!"
"A Pictorial of Bling: Fashion Direction by Hannibal Lecter"
"Tina considered herself open-minded, until her best friend Mindy showed off her new toy."
What to do with all of those leftover baby parts? A D.I.Y., of course.
"Audrey was determined to have her cake (and her pie, and her other cake, and her other pie, and another cake, and one more pie) and eat it, too."
'Juicing' just took on a whole new meaning.
"Helen thought it was sweet when Victor held her so tightly that she couldn't even open her mouth to speak. She never realized that was his intention."
For all of the feeding and caretaking you do, you might as well get a little something out of it, like a clean hardwood floor.
