Ten Of The Most Annoying Instagrammers

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
