I mean that is literally the main point of IG, so I’d just delete the app or unfollow everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with simply unfollowing them is that they normally post some decent stuff. That said, I operate a five strikes and you're out system regarding photos of friends' kids. If the profile feed stops becoming about that person for 5 consecutive posts then they're unfollowed and I'll catch up with their news when I can be arsed looking for something interesting in a timeline dominated by toddlers in the garden / at the beach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to tell you but the only point of Instagram is for advertiser to either sell you shit or to build up a better picture of what you like to then sell you stuff on other platforms. Pictures of people's kids their scran and their memories is just convenient. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not the point of Instagram to the consumer, which is what was being discussed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much this. It’s not that said people post annoying things like this all the time. It’s quite literally just a petty thing that gets on my nerves. ETA: To clarify, because it wasn’t at all clear, I’m referring to a series of stories I saw yesterday of people posting their “highlights” of the year. Perfectly entitled to share them, I just quickly grew tired of seeing the stories of very similar pictures.

I know 2020 has been shite for a lot of people and I hope it gets better for you all. I had a great year. My daughter was born in March. I was off for 4 months which meant I was with my daughter everyday until late July. I now come home everyday to her smiles, tears & tantrums. 2. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud131 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 People walking on the wrong side of the pavement.Been out for walks with the wife the last few days since the weather's been nice and the amount of people who walk on the right hand side of the path and don't move as they come towards you.Surely the correct side of the path to walk on is the left side since it's the side we drive etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) RE pavement etiquette, the one that riles me is when you're walking towards two people who are heading in your direction, but one decides to stay on 'your' side of the pavement. I'm not just talking side-by-side couples here, but particularly those who are walking behind and apart from somebody else. If you stay on the same side of the pavement as the person in front (walking in the same direction as you are) then you can avoid so many pavement discos. If I see the potential for such a disco, I now just veer to the very edge of the path (so that the other person clearly sees there's only one potential option, ie 80% of the path that I've clearly just made open to them), then break eye contact before carrying on. Bit arsey I know, but it's less hassle, and it works. FWIW, I once stood to the side in front of a lamp-post to let some wifey with a pram past. She veered in my direction and told me to get out of her way. What did she want to do, push the pram into the lamp-post behind me?

I'm afraid the imaginary rules that exist only in your head are less likely to be complied with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
