The Instagram trick that will make sure you never have to see a boring story again.

Having been introduced to our accounts just under two months ago, people have taken to Instagram Stories like ducks to video-loving water. The problem is, though, some people’s stories just aren’t all that interesting.

Capturing the runway looks live from New York Fashion Week we get, but snapping your sneakers while you go to get coffee, not so much.

So without further ado, here’s how to get those snoozy stories out of your life without unfollowing the account. For the sake of universal ease, we’ll use Kourtney Kardashian’s account as our example.
