To be annoyed about her collecting the stones?

I thought there was an unwritten rule that if you found a stone someone had painted you would pick it up and hide it somewhere else for someone else to find on their walk etc.

My SM now has a collection of painted stones she's found and leaves on her doorstep. I was round the other day and noticed the collection had grown somewhat and was quite surprised and then annoyed. She doesn't paint stones and leave them for others herself, just collects everyone elses!

AIBU??

I have never seen a painted stone!

Because there all at OPs SM house. Grin

Maybe she doesn't know there's an unwritten rule, because it's unwritten. Maybe she just likes them.

It's not really something I could get bothered about, they're stones

I've never heard of this unwritten rule/game. Has she? Did you explain to her before you got "annoyed"?

The Facebook group I follow says keep or rehide. Does she log her finds on the page info painted on stone? AS I think this is the bit most appreciated by the painter.

She’s misunderstood the game.
