Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter have changed the world in the recent years. It’s easier to connect with friends, classmates, and family from all over the world. You can find out the major of your kindergarten crush with one button, jealously stalk the life of the impossibly put together girl from your freshman English class on Instagram, find out if the girl you hated in high school gained the freshmen 15 and follow the cool travels of your next door neighbor from the comfort of your own bed. However not everyone on your feed have posts that don’t make you want to roll your eyes or hit unfollow. Here are the top ten most annoying things you can do on social media.
10. 200 second long Snapchats of you at a party.
NO ONE CARES. You bouncing up and down on a crowded dance floor in the dark is not interesting or cool or entertaining. If you have to post a Snapchat of you singing along to Fetty Wap limit it to 10 seconds MAX.
9. Vague and emotional tweets
We get it boys (or girls) suck. Sorry that he ghosted on you or that she is ignoring you but it is really not my problem. Twitter is not your journal, stop whining. Group text your friends about your ex-boyfriend like the rest of us. Extra negative points for tweeting emo song lyrics. We get it you listen to Drake.
8. An excessive amounts of cooking videos.
I doubt you’re making double baked deep fried cookies with 45 gourmet ingredients in your dorm kitchen. Chill with the Tasty posts, you’re just making me hungry.
7. Sending a Snapchat that you post on your Snapstory.
What kind of person does this? Why do I want to see you with the dog filter twice in one day? No thanks. Stop this.
6. Birthday collages
I’m not anti-birthday post but the 50 selfie collage (or even worse flipbook) accompanied by the four paragraph essay filled with inside jokes that only you think are funny you Instagram for your “Partner in crime’s” birthday should be left in high school along with best friend necklaces and side bangs.
5. Obsessive relationship pictures.
The more you post about your relationship, the more insecure you are about it is my general rule of thumb. I’m not saying you shouldn’t post about your significant other but Facebook albums filled with you two making out and mushy tweets with the hashtag “relationship goals” are not only annoying but are also inviting the entire internet into your relationship.
4. Inspiring quotes.
Posting a picture of flowers with some vague quote about overcoming doesn’t make me want to take the world by storm; it makes me want to delete you. Meaningless quotes with nature backgrounds are unnecessary and really not inspiring I promise.
3. Singing videos.
The only person who has posted a Youtube video showcasing their voice and then become successful is Justin Bieber, the next best outcome is Rebecca Black. Videos of you singing your heart out nine times out of 10 result in your social media friends making fun of you. Save your singing for the shower or if you’re really confident try out for the Voice.
2. Bragging.
Congrats on getting a 4.999992, curing the common cold and sleeping an hour and a half a night!!! I couldn’t care less. Save bragging for your resume or family reunions. Your Facebook friends really don’t care about your A in Spanish.
1. Politics
It’s great to be informed but STOP posting every single political thought you have on Facebook or Twitter. All your friends and followers don’t agree with you and the vast majority of your resources are probably not accurate. If you really can’t hold off on sharing, then for the love of freedom of speech don’t get mad when someone disagrees with you.
