Stop flipping your phone camera around and focus on driving, selfie queens.
Between excessive hashtags and constant status updates, it's time everyone closed their laptops for a bit.
Selfie Superstars.We all know these culprits. "Good morning!" selfie. "All natural todayyy." Good one, but you're wearing foundation and mascara. "Got my Starbucks. Mmm!" Congratulations. These people have uploaded the same picture of their face at least 12 times a day through MyStory, Instagram, or Facebook. Just because you add a coffee cup or other slightly interesting prop in your hand doesn't make it creative and doesn’t make your face look any different from the last 10. I know what you look like already, the whole world does, and if you are one of these people then accept that you are an attention seeking narcissist.
Status Spazzes.
Please, no. The world does not want to see your depressing late night thought or passive aggressive status about someone taking advantage of you, again. Or someone owing you money. Or "you know who you are" totally hanging all over your boyfriend and needing to back off. My new favorite that pops up on the timeline is "Bored 2nite. Who wants 2 hang? ;)" If you let your emotions and social schedule -- or lack, thereof -- dictate your Facebook status, you are more than guilty of being one of these people.
Day-of-the-weekers. Man Crush Monday. Transformation Tuesday. Woman Crush Wednesday.
Throwback Thursday. Flashback Friday. And the ever-dreaded, Selfie Sunday. I completely understand
occasionally participating in these fun trending topics. I'm guilty of doing so many a time, myself, but if you
can't get it to the end of the weekday
on a regular basis without getting yet another picture of Ryan Gosling or Channing Tatum in black and white on your
Instagram, then you have a problem. Don't even get me started on Selfie Sunday. See selfie superstars above.
Hashtag whores. #goodvibes #positivethoughts #chillinonit #goodday
#stayinghappy #bestfriendsever. Three
hashtags is pushing it, and I've seen people get
up to 10. You do not need this
many hashtags attached to a quote picture about staying positive or a picture
of your #legsorhotdogs #lol #bythepool pictures. Hashtags, like selfies, can be
fun, but overkill is never a good idea.
BAE batterers. "Out with the bae." "Watch out town, the baes and I
are out tonight!" If you don’t know by now, BAE stands
for before anyone else. If you’re calling everyone your Bae, then the term
really loses its point, altogether. No one needs five to 20 baes or this
word in general, but for some reason, it has spread like wildfire on social
media and it’s about time we put this one out.
