That sounds like she is just someone who is unhappy with her life and taking it out on someone who seemed to be enjoying theirs. Bye Felicia!

SERIOUSLY. This is different than posting a comment about a TV show or a song or something. You are talking about other people’s social media accounts, which people post based on their own personal tastes, ideas, and interests. It is not the same as criticizing a public work of art such as an album or article or…

UGH THAT IS BEAUTEOUS.

This is my exact instagram and twitter, too. I cannot get enough. The last probably 5 places I’ve gone, I wouldn’t have even thought of going there until I started following some photographers and travel writers and was like yep gotta go there.

See, when people go on vacations, I get ANNOYED if they don’t post a shit ton of pictures! Like, let me see that awesome hotel you’re staying at and all the awesome food you’re eating and the beautiful scenery and the architecture!!!

Haha, which is even weirder because in reading the comments, a lot of people aren’t really resonating with the tone or message of this article anyway? Like for me, it was kind of pointless - it basically just said “don’t be a dick about things” which is advice that seems to be a given, if you ask me. The social media…

Cool then! Don’t post either! That’s how this works! You get to post what you want and people can either like it or not! Or you can post nothing! Yay for everyone! My guess is that if you have any sort of social media, you have annoyed someone at some point. Such is life.

With you on the photos thing, I post them on Facebook and some on Instagram and people can look if they want. My parents, on the other hand, demand that I let them put my photos on a DVD and they make popcorn and make me walk them through every one of my photos on our big TV. Parents gonna parent though, I guess.

Whiiiich is why my initial comment was about travel photos. You then said both kid photos and travel photos were annoying. I then said “Ok then, unfollow.” It’s not that complicated. And I mean in general, not on FlyGirl. When was the last time you saw an article anywhere entitled “Check your privilege, stop posting…

I mean, that could be said of anything. What about the people posting hundreds of pictures of all the fancy food they’re eating, while some of their friends can’t afford to do that? Or people posting photos of their new Jimmy Choo’s, while other people shop at Payless? I don’t see any articles about that kind of crap,…

If this were something that was objectively bad, like posting racist shit, then yeah. But something as innocuous as vacation photos? Nah. People need to chill out if travel pics make them feel “alienated.”

Yeah I personally try not to do that too, mostly because I don’t want the same picture on my account 17 times and I want a variety of photos. I usually take a ton of photos of one thing so that I have a few to choose from and increasing my odds that I’ll get a good photo. But if other people do that, I mean really who…

Yeeeeeeeeah see if this article was about people who just spent money to go on a big trip then got back and complained about being broke, that would be legit.

Yeah maybe it’s a function of my age. I’m almost 31, and my friends who travel aren’t obnoxious in the slightest. And honestly even the younger ones who travel (like my little cousins who just went on a trip to Washington State for a few weeks) just seem super excited to be getting the chance to branch out and do…

Obnoxious is a relative term. Plenty of people are responding to this article saying they love seeing people’s travel photos and hearing their stories. We aren’t talking about posting offensive things (like racist memes or something). We are talking about people’s vacation photos. I can think of nothing more innocuous…

IMAGINE the response if this was titled “How to talk about your parenting without being a dick.” Like people are gonna post what they wanna post, and sometimes you won’t like all of it. GET OVER YOURSELF THEN. Find people who agree with you and whine about it with them. Don’t go around posting articles demanding that…

Then don’t follow them. It’s the easiest thing in the world. How selfish are people to demand that others stop posting certain things on THEIR social media accounts?? Gimme a break.

“Affordable” is such a relative term, I hate when people throw it around.

That sounds heavenly. I have done my fair share of both kinds of travel, and while the trips where I backpacked around a bunch of places were certainly fun and quite an experience, it was also exhausting. My most favorite vacation ever was when I went to Puerto Rico with a few friends and we rented a condo near the…

Also, even if you do it on a budget, traveling isn’t like a super cheap thing. Most people I know who travel regularly (in fact, all of them) don’t do it to “collect stamps in their passports” because it is insane to spend a thousand dollars to do something like that. Literally every person I know who travels a ton…
