Do you have any social media pet peeves? I DO. This has absolutely nothing to do with my style post today, but I have a lot to get off my chest, you guys, a lot to get off my chest. Incidentally, almost all of these involve Instagram. Here we go.


+ Let's start with posting photos of open wounds. Ew? I don't really care to see a photo of how you almost chopped the tip of your finger off while you were cutting a tomato. If I wanted to see some carnage, I would watch surgery shows on the Discovery channel. But since I'm not a huge fan of cut-open humans, I'd rather not see your gaping wound in my Instagram feed, either. 

+ Pictures solely of your bare feet - NO. Unless they are weirdly attractive, which rules out 95% of all feet. Disclaimer: I hate feet, so I'm biased.

+ This one is going to catch me some flack, but I also don't want to see your baby with drool or food all over his/her face. It's not cute, it's disgusting. (Funny cake smashing photos are an exception. Pureed peas and shiny dripping drool are not.)

+ Hashtags. The kind that go on and on and on and on forever, or the kind that are incorporated right into a sentence. For example:
I am really #hungry at my #desk here at #work and all I really want is a #big #fat #juicy #hamburger even though I packed a #salad.  
#lunch #nutrition #eatfit #skinny #cleaneating #eatclean #instafit #training #healthy #instahealth #lifestyle #fit #fitfam #foodporn..... 

Please stop that. I know you might gain a few new followers by doing it, but it's weird. 

+ The chronic duck-facer. Please stop doing a duck face in every single one of your pictures. We know you have great cheek bones. 

+ The chronic post-er of "look at my big boobs!" photos. We get it. You have a great rack and all your shirts and dresses show massive amounts of cleavage and occasionally some nip. After a while, it just gets annoying. 

Don't even get me started on Facebook. 
What are YOUR social media pet peeves? I'm sure I'll think of more of these the moment I hit publish! 



Now here's some photos of me wearing a short dress in a field. Happy Thursday!
