Not to want to see your your entire holiday on Facebook

[SirGawain]

Facebook 'Friend' who I get on well with is on holiday abroad. They just posted 75 holiday snaps on Facebook AIBU to think this is excessive. Incidentally they have dozens of random "Friends" so they've just told the world that the house is empty so please burgle it.

Just unfriend, mute or snooze. Jeez - it isn't compulsory to look.
People are SO judgy about how other people use social media. It's really boring to hear about it.

A lot of people assume their lives are more interesting than they are. I'd just scroll by, maybe a half second sympathy that this friend can't be present on the holiday.

I have a friend like this, only it's every weekend. Every Monday at 7am she posts 150+ photos with rambling paragraphs telling everyone about the minutiae of their lives... only her mum ever 'likes' the posts. A few have been late, as in 7:30/8am and they come with an apology for the lateness. Like masses of people are waiting with baited breath to see 150 blurry photos 🥱 recently announced a camping holiday on the horizon, I await the daily updates

I love seeing other people’s holidays! Gives me ideas of places I might like to go some day. Scroll on by…

A word of warning to those storing photos on FB, my DHs account was hacked, porn posted on his profile, his account suspended within minutes (I had to report it) and then his account deleted permanently. No way to argue, decision made and no way back. Lost all photos 😢

Like and move on. If you don't like them unfriend them but if you do then just hitting like is minimal effort and will make them feel happy.

Certainly not jealous. Lady Gawain and I have great holidays but a beach in Spain is not our thing.

If you don't like it don't look. Don't see the point of telling everyone else about it.

I know. Do people think what they see on SM is compulsory somehow and forget they can curate their own newsfeed

Why would you do this while on the holiday? I’m glad to be anti social and shut the world out when I’m away. YANBU, not interested in other people’s holiday pictures but as others have said you don’t have to look.

Some people like looking at holiday pics, I wouldn’t look at all of them but I can’t see the problem, you can scroll past, snooze, unfollow… you just sound a little bitter. So a beach in Spain isn’t your thing, don’t look! Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t post.

There's settings to hide things on Facebook so use it or just scroll by. Hardly a new thing being shown loads of pics about a holiday you don't care about, people used to come with the boots envelopes and you'd have to look through them all in person, now with a mouse click you don't have to. Problem solved.

I so hope you are now looking through friend list and finding the OP successfully 😁

Lol you can't dislike something/ make an observation without people accusing you of jealousy.

Beginnning to think it might be mistaken identity as we’re not on a beach in Spain as referred to by the OP. Have to admit, 75 pictures of a beach would be overkill

Fucking LOVE MN and all its snobbery. Beaches in Spain are probably hideously tacky compared to something nice and MN approved like walking in the Scottish highlands in your sensible fleece

Just don't look then. Facebook would be really dull if no one posted what they were doing.
I love seeing holiday pictures.

Ignore it if if bothers you so much.

Caravaners?

I can't think of anything I like better than holiday pics on facebook, I mean what is it that you do want to see?? People's pictures of food they cooked? 101 pictures of their children? Adverts from random companies? Posts telling you what they're watching or what they're listening to? Stuff they're trying to flog? 'Funny' memes? I mean give me holiday pics any day, they might even inspire me to go there.

It’s even sadder you actually noted how many pictures they had

I have a fb friend who never posts one photo if she can post 90 - of her home city, which she does almost daily. Often same thing just a foot to the right or left.
I just look at the ones that appear on the top, I do not scroll through the lot.
If it gives your friend pleasure just ignore it - you are right about public profile though - I keep mine private.

I don't think you should post while away as it usually invalidates house insurance if there is a break in BUT I think posting lots of photos is a way to keep the photos in one place for you to look at. I wouldn'y care who else (if anyone) even bothered to look although I do get family asking us to post pics when we have been away.

What is it you use social media for out of interest? It's pretty pointless even having it if you don't post stuff and sneer at those that do.

I wouldn’t mind, could be a rare luxury for them so want to celebrate.

Just snooze for 30 days or similar if the enjoyment annoys me.

Reminds me of when I had to block a person on a group page about dogs because they just took over the group. Every post was the same and it was ten photos of the same thing. Annoying but easily solved. I think they kept repeatedly getting their account frozen by FB because they posted too much!

Genuinely spent my honeymoon walking in the Scottish highlands in my sensible fleece.

But also own - and love! - an inflatable hot tub 😆

MN class assumptions: 🤯
