1. The Baby Picture
The Problem: These are all the people who dig up old baby pictures of themselves just to post on facebook. Seems like a good amount of work when you have to look for one you like, scan it or take a picture of it and then load it up. Why do people do it? Because they are seeking attention like no other. Talk about digging up the past, these people want all the comments and 'likes' from their friends and whats a better way to do it than to dig up multiple baby pictures of yourself. Seriously once or twice is fine, but after multiple posts it looks like you're just getting desperate. These folks are generally attention whores who are incredibly insecure about how they look right now and instead of posting a more current picture they resort to point in their life where everyone thought they were cute.
Alternatives: If you have a kid/siblings/cousins that are babies and you felt like making a profile picture of you and the baby then that's fine. Everyone is proud of their kids and hell, babies are just cute. But posting yours is just crying 'LOOK AT ME!'
2. The Infamous Bathroom Picture
The Problem: You're getting ready for a night out and just when you're ready you figure lets snap a few pictures before you forget the night. Usually, this is ok but when you have multiple poses and facial expressions that is just plain weird. When you think about it, this person probably loves looking at themselves in the mirror and so lets capture the moment of me looking at myself.
Alternative: Taking just ONE picture of yourself smiling is fine. No need to purse your lips and do all this crap that no one cares about.
3. The Model Picture
The Problem: Everyone today are so narcissistic that they believe anyone can be a model when in reality thats not the case. These people grab one of their photographer friends and forces them to use them as a model. Doesn't matter what it is, they just want to get into some kind of dress or bathing suit and shoot all day. The pictures are then used for themself all over facebook because apparently you need to be staged in order to take a good picture and not just regular ones.
Alternatives: If one of your friends loves bringing along their SLR to every damn thing, then something good is bound to pop up out of the million shots so in those cases sure. But if you have albums worth of these pictures then its like really? Is that necessary?
4. The Recycled Picture
The Problem: Do you ever see people reuse the same 3-4 pictures over and over and over again? Every few weeks or so, they switch to something they used 6 months ago and then it just keeps repeating. No new ones are ever added. Now I'm not telling you to upload a bajillion photos but obviously you want to change up your profile picture here and there and just using an old one is almost insulting to our intelligence thinking we won't notice and also show you're just plain damn lazy.
Alternatives: If you have nothing new then just don't change it.
5. The Over Exposed Picture
The Problem: You always want to capture the moment when you're out, thats what cameras are essentially for but sometimes you're just capturing too much. More often than not you find girls aiming the camera high in order to get them and their friends, what you find later is that they have aimed too high and the camera captured some ridiculous cleavage and if just a little higher can pretty much capture the ground. Now I know its hard to get the right angle, but I know you at least check what the picture looks like before you post it up for the world to see and when we see that ridonkulous boobage its like wow are you really going to play dumb and be like oops? You know full well of you're putting up and you want the attention of the world knowing you have something to show off.
Alternatives: After thinking about it, I don't know if this a problem.
