The Posts I Don't Understand
The Workout Video
As one meme said “Unless you are falling off the treadmill, we don’t need to see your work out video.” I hope you know that we see you in real life. We know exactly how fit or fat you really are. So when you post a workout video and then eat a burger and fries with 4 whiskies at dinner you’re not fooling me. And by the way, if your trainer is taking your video then he/she is not looking at your form so you’re probably going to get injured. If you are not promoting a gym, we really don’t need to know you ran 4.5 km in less that 30 minutes.
The Elevator Selfie
If only ‘Seinfeld’ was still on the air. I could see an episode where
George does this in elevators across New York, trends for a while and then it all
falls apart. What exactly are people trying to
communicate with these? I am willing to bet that the serial elevator selfie folks often go
up and down the elevator till they get the right pic. Sometimes they are
probably not even going anywhere, they just ride the elevator, take a pic,
post it and head back home. I particularly love how they wear sunglasses in these shots.
Regramming/Reposting Insta Stories
A lot of people post insta stories wishing their friends and family on
their birthdays. That’s fine. But why do the birthday boy or girl then regram/repost
and share these on their stories? You’re basically showing off how many
people wished you. If you are a celebrity or an influencer, it is still lame, but I get it, you have to show off. If you are neither, seriously consider attending a Tony Robbins self-esteem workshop.
“I Watched a Sports Event on Television” Story
Let me see if I got this right. While watching a sports event on
television people take a video or photo of their television and then share that
video on Instagram and then #legend #champion the hell out of it. As a sports
fan let me give you a few tips 1) Watch the match, don’t worry about filming it
2) If it is a big match EVERYBODY is watching it, you don’t need to tell us that
you are too. Also remember you are NOT at the stadium, you are at home and we
all have TV’s.
The Others
There are the boarding pass pictures, photos of single malts and the
endless stream of someone eating at shake shack. We know you travel business
class, we’ve all tried Yamazaki and Shake Shack is good but it’s a fast food place buddy.
See you in a year when there will be new trends. I should have taken a
selfie while writing this in my elevator. May be next time.
