Does anyone remember the good old days before Facebook when you had to take a photo of your dinner, get your film developed and printed, then go around all of your friend's houses to show them the picture of your dinner?


Neither do I.

Endless pictures of people's kids **** me off, and/or running commentary of what they are doing.

The odd photo/comment is fair enough, but some people just don't know when to stop.

I also don't remember hundreds of people running up to & queuing outside every phone box on the way home to say where they where & how long it would take them to get home.

^^^^that is the bane of Instagram.

I post photos of what I've been eating to send to specific friends...normally to irritate them

And while I'm a it....

It's largely just a platform for attention seekers. The amount of half rants I see, then dare to ask if they are ok or what's wrong and all you get is 'nothing' or 'I can't say' etc. Well if you have something to say, say it or STFU and don't post at all!

Then all the photos of people posing on their own for their phone. It's just odd.

Exactly. Or that they are going in the bath, or that they can't be bothered, or they are bored, so on.

I suppose it's ok if you're just doing it to annoy certain people

I'll have to go and look.

I've only got one of me, and it's from a distance and I didn't take it myself. I don't like my photo taken though.

I transit through Changi airport in Singapore quite a lot and whenever a flight lands there is a literal stampede for the free net terminals they ave all over the airport and 99% of people are straight onto Facebook ... it's like the 7 hours they just had to endure without it almost kills them. Pathetic!

Instagram and pics of people's tedious little brats is a good observation of a reason to stay away from it. Cats of Instagram is great though

There isn't Les, it's the fact people think other people will be interested in their dinner that is the sad thing!
