holiday pics

[Flute56]

Hve you ever pretended to be happy to see someones holiday photos when you think they are utterly boring. Someone I know has gone on holiday and keeps wassapping me photos of the areas she is visiting andd they look totally boring to me. I have a look and click delete. Then I got told off for not saying they are fantastic and that was when I had to admit that I like seeing them but am not over keen on them but they still keep on coming and coming. If someone said that to me I would stop sending them but I still get them

Hrmm I think you have one of two options

1. 'hey friend sorry I'm struggling to catch these photos on messenger, maybe you could upload them to facebook as an album? Then I can see all the photos of your fab trip!

2. Hey friend, my interests are narrow and are confined only to things I like. It's probably not worth sending these to me because I'm not a great pal. Maybe you have others friends or family that would appreciate them and politely respond?

I'm always happy to see my friends photos. I like to see them having a nice time. If there are loads, I flick through, like the best ones, comment if there's something to say or otherwise get on with my day without slagging them off on the internet.

Why not just say “looks lovely” or something generic but complimentary? Presumably they are quite close to you if WhatsApping photos directly?

It is a bit much for them to be nagging you for feedback but equally it seems a bit mean to delete without even a thumbs up.

Omg I always joke it's like when people would make you watch their slideshows in the eighties when they got back. then they stop sending them after that 'joke'.

It's along the lines of, "I'm not there, I don't give a shit where you went, nor do I need to see pictures of every outing." Hahaaaaaaa....(not actually joking)

It works.

The person sending them to me is not on facebook. I do a thumbs up or a smiley face but that is not good enough. They told me others say wow fantastic and cannot understand why I dont show the same enthusiasm. How can I show enthusiasm like that for pics I am not interested in. All I got today so far was a main road with houses either side. Then another of a house painted blue on the outside. So frigging boring

Unless I'm sent daily updates with millions of pictures a day then I'm happy to see my friends enjoying themselves, I'd always reply with something though, to just blank them is a bit rude

Back in the old days you’d send/take your films to be developed and wait excitedly for the photos to be developed. Then you’d pore over the photos for ages and put the best ones in an album. Bu5 you wouldn’t then send the album round all your family and friends for them all to have a look at. Only those who were actually interested.

I said yesterday it wuld be nice to see you in the pics and one was sent and then its back to sending picres of random streets. Whoopie do lol

Just comment “wow, fantastic” every time she sends them 😂
I have friends that sometimes send me lovely photos from their holidays, I usually send a message back saying it looks lovely/relaxing/hot/fun, whatever. It’s normally only a couple of photos though, nothing too intense.

I think in this situation I'd probably be honest, and say 'hi friend, I'm sorry I haven't been as gushing about your pics as you would like, but quite honestly, unless photos are of people I know, I don't find them that interesting'. Then only comment on any that she sends with her or her family in them.
