MUMBAI: Okay I get it, everything looks better in Sierra (or Lo Fi if you’re the kind of person who likes stark contrast). That point conceded, even Instagram’s generously kind filters cannot save some people from social media faux pas. If Facebook contributed to breeding types of annoying users (namely, the “self promoter”, “the bad grammarian”, the “political commentator”, the “lurker”, the “chronic inviter” and so on…), Instagram is not far behind in cultivating a set of highly aggravating users with excruciatingly painful social media etiquette (or the lack thereof).
When Instagram initially began gaining popularity, I was relieved. It would be far less likely for people to be annoying if all they can do is post pictures, unlike Facebook where users have the liberty to post pictures, articles, relationship statuses, political commentaries, pseudo-intellectual bullshit… you name it, Facebook lets you share it.
Much to my surprise and chagrin, I was wrong: Instagram grew into a medium that was not just as annoying as Facebook, but more so. If I open the app on my phone, 90 percent of the posts will fall into the below seethingly annoying categories.

On that note, here are the ten most annoying Instagram habits (in no particular order).
1. Quotes
Can I kill you now?
2. Birthday throwback
Let’s not pretend this isn’t an excuse to post older pictures where you look cute (who cares about that friend whose birthday it also happens to be)!!
3. Food
Two things: 1) If I’m not eating it, I don’t care and 2) It doesn’t look as appetising as you think it does, so just don’t.
4. Photos posted after 2 AM
Lady, you’ve had too much to drink and are going to regret this when you wake up and realize that you look like a mess.
5. Selfies
Do you, like, have no friends to take pictures with?
6. Sunset pictures
Beautiful but you do realize that the sun sets every day in every part of the world, right?
7. #Too #Many #Hashtags
#ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
8. Working out selfies
This might just be worse than a regular mirror selfie. Just stop it.
9. Memes
You are NOT 9Gag
10. Multiple pictures in one day
Just Stop!
