Early this morning I read a list of the top 20 pictures not to post to your Facebook, and it really pissed me off.  It was a list of 25 with some short Sh*t talking in between that I can only assume was an attempt at masking their bitterness with snarky remarks and over generalizations.

The title of the list “Top 25 Pictures Girls Need to Stop Posting in Social Media” and can be found at www.rantchic.com if you feel the need to indulge in one woman’s jaded, bitter, picking apart of everything she writes about.  Then again all of what I have read so far is well written and grammatically correct, and honestly that matters more to me, most of the time, than the actual content/subject matter.

So here we go…

  1. Sunsets - Agreed, there is no need for a post of a picture of something I can walk outside and see on my own.
  2. Laying out legs - Ok, I have to admit when I see a picture of laying out legs or laying out neck downs on a boat or at some tropical location I do sense a bit of vom creeping up my esophagus but I can say with minimal shame that that’s probably because I’m a lil jealous of the toneage and perfect tan that was the real reason for the pic in the first place.
  3. Alcohol - Unless you invented a new drink that eliminates hangovers no matter how much of it your drink, then I don’t care about your glass of regrets,  hashtag “Sex on the beach with my besties”
  4. Pets - I shouldn’t have to give a reason for this one
  5. Children - Really?  How did children make it onto this list?  Are these sites like Facebook and Instagram not made solely for the purpose of posting pictures of pretty much whatever I want?
  6. OOTD (Outfit of the Day) - I can honestly say I don’t have any friends that post daily pictures of what they are wearing so this doesn’t really even apply to me, (or most of my friends either).
  7. Selfies - Are you kidding me?  Is not the “Selfie” the highest form of self-promotion?  How else will all my friends know how much I need them to tell me how awesome I am?
  8. Text Conversations - What if it’s something super funny?  What if part of what makes it super funny is seeing it in conversation bubbles?
  9. Pet Selfies - Please refer to #4
  10. Plane Wings - I’m not sure why this made the list, I never see plane wings pictures on my feed…
  11. Clouds - Really?
  12. Mirror Pics - Especially if you’re not even looking at the mirror, you’re looking at the phone to hide your shame.
  13. Fingernails - What’s wrong with the occasional finger nail selfie, if you can paint your fingernails in a way comes off looking like modern art then get it girl, get it!
  14. Feet in the sand - I’m sorry but I love this kind of picture, the “feet in the sand” pic is off limits as far as criticism goes and I have my own “dear to my heart” reasons
  15. Fortune Cookies - No one cares
  16. Coffee Art - What is this you speak of?
  17. Fireworks - These never turn out well anyway, but if you get a good shot why not!
  18. Holding hands - This kind of picture is for a frame not social media
  19. The eyeball close up - Is the rest of you that hideous or are you looking for those microscopic worms that live in your eye lid?
  20. Driving in the Car - I think we all shutter a little when we see a selfie in a vehicle with movies objects in the background
  21. The Gym Selfie - I can’t stand the gym selfie, it makes me want to break the mirror your taking a picture in front of, grab a shard of glass and stab you in the neck meat….
  22. Starbucks - Again, who cares?
  23. Music - Do I really need to know what you’re listening to? If it’s not me then what are you doing with your life?
  24. The body no head shot - I don’t see this one often, if we are already linked in some way on a social media site then I already know it’s you…so what are you hiding?
  25. Quotes - I have pretty interesting friends so I find that a “quote” post can be most entertaining at times.

When it comes right down to it though, it’s your page, post whatever you want, that’s what it’s for in the first place!  As a dear friend of mine says….”I’m Rick James! I do what I want!”
