Everybody knows that Instagram is a hot-bed of narcissim and lies.
But #whocares.
It’s fun to post pictures every day and have people like them – it’s #totes kind of like you’re a #famousperson or something.
But, Instagram does come with some annoying recurring posts, and it can’t be denied that we all have the same embarrassing habits. Everyone on #thegram knows it, but we all ignore it for the sake of that perfect post. You know the one – the pic that will generate enough ‘likes’ that the names disappear and you just get a number.
That means you’re a #bigdeal.
Sorry. We’ll stop wasting your time so you can get back to posting that black and white photo of your shoes.

I love Instagram for inspiration photos of interiors mainly, and seasonal pics. However there is a long list of things I truly detest there too...
The lingo! Bae, yay or nay, yaaassss, extra, don't even get me started on the b*tch and niga memes.
The make up posts where girls do something funny - not - funny, cake themselves in layers of make up, contour until they all look like the same plastic clone and then pout inanely at the camera. Uuuugh!!!
The "follow me" posts with some blatantly photoshopped model pulling the photographer's hand into the sea etc. Bum out most of the time. Put it away already!
The unicorn craze. Yawn!!!
Teenage boys trolling the accounts of sick children.
Posts of a cute baby with yay or nay captions. Why?
Captions saying "I bet you can't comment this long pointless word letter by letter without being interrupted."
The smug fitness posts where the girl has a waist like my wrist and a butt the size of a truck tyre. I never ever see people like that in real life so one wonders...
I could go on and on but I am getting a bit mad just thinking about it.. ha ha.
What about the 'person in the middle of the frame facing away from from the camera' usually on a forest road or an urban bridge or city street #ishootlifestylepleasehiremellbean #lookingtogethiredbyanyoutdoorapparelbrandtoshoottheircommercial #pleasehiremeforyournextcatalogshoot #blendingwithnature
