To unfriend someone because they don't know how to save image

AIBU - I might unfriend someone on Facebook just because they haven't worked out how to 'save image' and the memes they post are all screenshots with black bars on top and bottom?

They are someone I know from school, they are perfectly nice, but every time they post a pic like that it gives me nerd rage

It is ridiculous but honestly, I have told them before how to do it properly, they just don't care and it looks crap ;)

Yanbu, in fact you should probably report them to some regulatory body or other. It's for their own good.

I can beat this. I had a 'friend' (now de-friended I add) who didn't know how to upload photos of her digital camera so would use her phone to photograph the display screen of the camera (VERY blurry) and then screenshot the phone.

Do I win? Grin

Phone the Facebook police. Clearly they need to be taken into protective custody for their own good.

SistersOfPercy · 27/01/2015 12:36

'From her camera' not of. Fail.

I can't save picture from Google on my tablet so screen shot them.

Shit, you're my friend aren't you Sad

I work with someone who didn't know how to create a new folder and after I talked him through it, he phoned me back to ask why the folder was empty. IT'S A NEW FOLDER, THAT'S WHY.

I asked him to zip the files from the new folder and email it to me. He somehow managed to send an email with my original email as an attachment Confused so I asked him to show me what he was doing. It turned out that he couldn't zip the file because he was clicking on the folder icon at the bottom of the window. While I was sorting that out, I also had to explain to him that his new emails weren't "lost", he'd just accidentally sorted them by oldest to newest.

This man is on £90k a year and I'm the office admin. I could just tear my hair out strand by strand.

I've got a friend who I've been considering dearie ding for constantly posting photos sideways. (I am joking...sort of Grin)

FB has a little button for rotating photos. Use it!

Stinkle · 27/01/2015 12:40

Dearie ding? Defriending!

GlitzAndGigglesx · 27/01/2015 12:41

Highway but do you crop it? My friend often sends me funny pics where she's just shot the screen so if I want to use it I have to crop it. Arghhhh!!

Iamfrankieheck · 27/01/2015 12:42

I don't know how to do any of the above, in fact, I still have a Christmas related screensaver on my phone as I don't know how to change it. Oh well...

pepperfish · 27/01/2015 19:59

Haha, YA totally NBU! Grin

I have a co-worker who copies and pastes pictures (usually horrendous cartoons) from google for displays in the waiting room at work. Usually tiny pictures which she then blows up to A4 (chopping parts of picture off in the process) and doesn't seem to mind that they are really pixilated and look awful. I think I offend her if I point it out so I've stopped saying anything and just nod politely. The little geeky perfectionist in me wants to pull it all down and do it again!!

sbear22 · 27/01/2015 21:50

LTB!

But seriously I think you're me

Smooshface · 28/01/2015 21:41

Sistersofpercy - I think you do win!

And I'm sure it's not you highway dragon, I doubt they would venture even this far into the interwebz

Glad some people here are on my wavelength ;)

I struggle to cope with pictures with distorted aspect ratio. Can people really not see that their 'resizing' has resulted in making everything look crap? (And people who make fan videos on Youtube in 4:3 aspect ratio when the source material was 16:9 are even worse)

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 28/01/2015 23:50

Sound the nerd alert! She must be stopped! and killed
