Things that you are sick of seeing on social media #4

[instasham13]

The thing that is seriously grinding my gears atm is trying to scroll through Insta stories but being constantly met with the deliberately placed hyperlinks which you accidentally click on because they are placed where your finger naturally lands on the screen... so you are then taken to a page/link you have absoloutely no interest in. Arghhhhhh. I hate being marketed to in this way.

Everyone is at it atm. Also accidentally voting on someone's shity poll because they placed the answer box deliberately on that area of the screen... Later on they share the 'results' and I wonder what percentage are peoples accidentall votes because NO ONES GIVES A duck!!!!!

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but this weekend I have seen so many pumpkins! So many patches! And so many "cutest pumpkins in the patch!" what does that even mean? Pumpkins aren't even cute in the first place?

When influencers advertise something like, I dunno; a eye make up remover and say they use it all the time and the bottle is full

This reminds me of Kathleen Lights, back in the day before the racism scandal. She was going through her eyeshadow palettes and said these Tarte ones were her favourites and she never puts them down but the Tarte name was still embossed in the powder and not touched I pointed it out and got a masssssive pile on from her fans

Sick of seeing filters on babies. They all do it. Why? Babies don’t need a filter, in fact no one does!

It’s when they do this meaning their new baby girls your insta cash cow babies can’t ALL be ‘the cutest pumpkin in the patch’ in fact I’d rather an actual pumpkin

People who assume that because you don’t post about your mental health issues on social media, it means you aren't or haven’t been struggling. No, I just like to keep things somewhat private, I can’t think of anything worse than random people that I know but not spoken to in ages knowing about my dodgy mental health. If I had asthma I wouldn’t feel the need to tell everyone about it unless relevant to the situation. I see my depression and anxiety in the same way. If others want to do things differently then I have no issue with that, raising awareness is always a good thing. It’s the assumptions I can’t stand, the whole “if you don’t post it on socials then it never happened” mentality. Not everyone spills their entire life on social media, and most of what you see on social media is fake bullshit anyway.

Someone on my Facebook genuinely posted yesterday "Omg I was shocked at how many pumpkins were at the pumpkin patch" ............ what were you expecting????

It reminds me of this

Sunflower Farms Are Being Trampled by Instagram 'Zombie Apocalypse'

The Instagram generation has been bad news for beauty spots around the world as people flock to the same picturesque locations and shoot similar-looking

That insta repeat page is amazing kinda ironic but still…. Would love to do that with the irush bloggers but I’d have to follow them all first

I really hate when people post things about people not being there for them, where were you etc, not all of us blast our issues over the Internet my love but we've been dealing with our own tit over here.

Omg yes that annoys me so much! It’s like they assume that they are the only ones in the world ever to have problems. Give over

Exactly - people assume that if you don’t share the intimate details on social media, then you just don’t have any problems

I'm sick of seeing wankers with super white glow in the dark teeth that look like their gob is full of fence palings. I often wonder if they can even close their mouth properly over these choppers..

 

[Abby lockhart]

Agreed- I find it quite ludicrous

Or ppl stating their their babies under quotes about love or family or daughters/sons….. your baby is not on Facebook !

 

[Bitofthebubbly]

crappy journalism. My local rag shared a story on Facebook about this woman who attacked a teacher. Conveniently they missed out the part where said teacher was noncing her child and other children. Why report half a story? Trying to start a witch hunt on a woman who was sticking up for her child. Shameful, the press in this country is rotten to the core.

“Anyone know the number for …” “anyone know when ….. opens”

Edited to make sense

They've probably read a book, and consider themselves child care experts

There's so much blatant attention seeking on social media, the platforms just enable the behaviour

I agree with this. There are so many 'working poor' in this country who are forgotten about. Our kids aren't getting free laptops, ipads for home schooling or school clothing grants. I know that's a controversal comment but if you are accessing food banks etc then you should not be buying cigarettes from your budget also. Just my opinion.
