Good Facebook Etiquette Means Don’t Use These 5 Photos

Posted on by

5 Photos that Facebook etiquette says you should not post on social media. Here’s how you should post these photos if you do it anyway.

Social Media brings many annoyances to individuals day after day. Someone’s online profile may have turned us off from a person completely. We may have lost a job because of something that happened over social media. As the years go on, the annoyances continue to grow. Here are 4 different photos to not post on social media. If you absolutely feel the need to do it, there are also some suggestions on how to do it without being annoying.

1)Food Photos

Do you think we forgot what a smothered burrito and margarita looks like? If you’re at a chain restaurant or popular restaurant that everyone goes to, why bother showing the world your food? We all know you eat. We don’t need a photo to prove it.

2) Weekly Pregnant Belly Photos  belly

We all have that one friend that posts weekly pregnant belly photos. Same view, same side, different week. Why bother? We all know what a pregnant belly looks like.

3] Couple Photos couple

Posting photos of you and your significant other is adorable. People love to see how happy you are. The line is drawn when you post a photo 3-5 times a week with a cheesy caption, “He completes me.” “Our love is true.” “I am lucky to be in love with my best friend.” We got the picture after the first few photos you posted.

4] Drinking Photos drunkmeme.jpg

You went to a college party last night? That’s awesome. We all have been there. Would you want your future boss who may or may not hire you, see a photo of you playing beer bong, taking a shot or drinking out of a red solo cup when you were underage? No. Be responsible and realize once you put that photo out there, anyone can see it.

5] Money

What is the appeal of taking a photo of yourself holding a couple hundred-dollar bills? Social media is not a place to be talking about your finances, period. A photo like this sounds like a recipe for robbery.

WHAT CAN YOU DO INSTEAD?

1] Food

Post food photos of a rare meal that you made because you’re proud of yourself for cooking. People will appreciate that a whole lot more than the photo of your pasta from Noodles and Company.

2] Pregnant Bellys

Show us trimester photos or monthly photos. We are able to tell a difference in belly size when you spread the photos out instead of doing weekly photoshoots.

3] Couple Photos

There is nothing wrong with showing the world how in love you are. Post photos on special occasions don’t over-do the poetry and cheesy captions.  We know you like each other, because you’re dating for a reason.

4] Drinking Photos pizza

Have a group photo from the night you went out with your friends with no alcohol pictured? Post it. It shows us how much fun you had that night. If you’re underage, don’t post any alcohol photos at all. Period. It could be a recipe for disaster with your future and even with your family.

5] Money

If you really want to post something involving your financial situation, write a status of how proud you are of yourself. State that you worked hard at your job and were able to save a couple hundred dollars. Perhaps you’re proud of yourself for paying off school, go ahead and post about that. We would all prefer to see that rather than a few couple hundred dollar bills in your hands.
