Facebook holiday bores.

[Netcurtainnelly]

What do you think of people who are suffering from main character syndrome when they are on holiday.
The everyday updates on what they are doing and 53 photos. 53.

Taking the phone in the sea and doing a selfie so we can see what they look like in the sea.

It's like some people can't relax anymore unless they are broadcasting every day for validation.

Because some of us are interested in other people. You can get the details of the hairdresser (although I'm sure there are other ways than via Instagram) and then never look at her posts again.

I like seeing friends and families holiday pics, and it often gives me inspiration of where to try next.
would never have thought of doing day trips to Europe until I saw it on someone else’s post and now do several a year

They should have made sure their settings are set so Friends of Friends can't see their posts.

An acquaintance of mine just dropped an 11 part album of her recent 1 week holiday abroad.

Awww my MIL does this. She tags me in them as well so I get a notification to go look through them, even though I’m literally not there. It wouldn’t occur to her that anyone would think badly of her for it. I do have a bit of a giggle with my husband about her making sure we know what she’s had for breakfast that morning (genuinely, I’m not even exaggerating), but I think it’s lovely, long may she enjoy her holidays!

I like to look at a few holiday pictures but I am noticing nowadays that there are a lot of selfies rather than a picture of the scenery or beach/castle etc. I like to see & get some inspiration but it's a bit difficult when someone's big head is in the way 😀

I like to see them, and I share mine as well.

What do you think the point of Facebook is? For me it's seeing updates of various kinds from my friends, and sharing mine. These days especially I'm glad to see friends' photos, as my fed is getting dominated by ads and stuff posted by people I've never heard of, that the algorithms think I'll want to see.

You don't know why a Hairdresser would self promote? I mean i didn't get my hairdresser from instagram but I can see why they would be on there, you are right though social media isn't for you.

I agree that if you don’t want to see them then just scroll past, unfriend/block (or whatever it is you do on fb these days, I’ve not used it in forever!) main offenders, BUT, otoh, I still clicked on yanbu just because yes they’re still Facebook Holiday Bores whether I could (hypothetically!) see them or not 😂
Both can still be true 😂

What's wrong with you? You've been told by numerous people to unfriend or scroll by. You don't get to dictate what people post on their own social media.

Then stop looking every day, it’s not mandatory,

I like seeing people's holiday photos if they put a few a day or post at the end of the holiday. But I agree with you OP that not many people will want to see 50-odd photos per day. I don't know how they have time to enjoy the holiday to be honest.

In my world, the 4 million photos per day crew (of which to be fair there aren't many) tend to be those who need constant public validation for everything else they do in life too.

No it's slightly different. I'm talking about the people who obsessively post crap every day and blow by blow accounts of their holiday too.
It usually goes hand in hand. They can't stop home and away.
I'm at the airport and pictures
I'm in the plane picture in the plane
We've arrived and picture.
That's before you start the daily holiday posts.
Then on the way back the same. and the post now we are home.
Just go away and get a life thinking your so important.

If you can't go a day in your life without documenting everything then you need help.

Yes. Agree . They bote you everyday home and away. Get help.

Just don't look.

Aren’t you a ray of sunshine?

I’m assuming, if on FACEBOOK, these people are your friends

You are obviously not interested in what they do so maybe Take them off your friend list

I love seeing other peoples holiday pictures and I’ve post my ones and people say they like mine

FACEBOOK is Normally to share stuff For their friends to see

No one is making you look at 53 pictures or even Count them

You are mistaken if you believe the photos are for everyone else. A lot of my family, of a certain age, who still use Facebook, use it as a kind of holiday journal and they look back at their photos, as no one prints their snaps anymore.

You can choose not to look, and scroll by.

Even if I did they would still do it.
Most of its not remotely interesting.

We need to ask why people feel the need to post everything online for likes.

You can also set your privacy settings for a photo dump to ‘only me’ so they don’t keep popping up on all your friends feeds

We don’t.
People can post what they want on their FB.
It’s not up to you to ask why they do it.
What do you post on FB?

My neighbour does this too op, at least 50 pics a day. I had to stop following her!

Yes they are funnily enough, it's sort of what it was invented for ..

You sound very outraged OP, most odd. You have plenty of choices, scroll by, unfollow, ignore, like and move on, come off FB or maybe take an interest in your actual friends holiday.

Indeed, shocking.
Why do we care about Henry David Thoreau enough to read about his experience of living in the wilderness. Why do we care that Anselm Kiefer paints his giant sunflowers in an airplane hanger. What a shameless "self fucking promotion" to write books and exhibit in the Royal Academy. And don't get me started on all the documentaries... David Attenborough should be ashamed of himself!
