FB Holiday Season Wankers

I know I know it's FB blah blah get a life etc etc.

BUT seriously why oh why do holidays turn perfectly normal people into complete narcissistic wankers.

FB feed FULL of 10 or more friends posting about 20 + photos a day of their bloody holidays.

In the "olden" days anyone would avoid looking at someone's holiday snaps like the plague but now it's perfectly acceptable to brag all over social bloody media about it. Yes one or two photos are lovely and I am happy to see people having a great time but seriously do I need a blow by blow account of your bloody holiday? I would have come with you if so, get off FB and enjoy yourself.

Maybe this is compounded by seeing a close friend yday who was avoiding FB because of this as she had to cancel her holiday due to cancer diagnosis.

But another friend tonight has posted in one of the background show type posts "waiting to fly home, thanks for all your lovely comments, glad you enjoyed all the photos, we've had an amazing holiday" as if it was a show for my benefit.

Maybe I am a grumpy cow and I need to stay away from FB but god when are people going to get over themselves.

I love looking at other people's photos, and hearing about what they're up to.
Just scroll past or hide if they annoy you that much. Confused

Holiday photos are for when you return.
