5 Of The Most Annoying Snaps People Post On Their Snapchat Stories
Tech Crunch

Snapchat is one of the best apps I have ever downloaded. It's entertaining, creative and sometimes, downright hysterical. I can follow everyone, from my best friends to my favorite celebrities and YouTubers. Each snap can only be 10 seconds long, which is enough time to get your message across without rambling. However, some snaps that people post can be pretty annoying. Of course, what some people might find annoying, others might find interesting, but here are my five most annoying snaps people post on their Snapchat.

Note: This list is all in good fun and humor. Many people post these. Heck, even I post some of these sometimes. Your Snapchat is your social media and you should post whatever you want to (within reason) no matter what people think. Let me know which of these "annoying" snaps you find annoying also, and let me know which of these you find intriguing and interesting.

1. Driving snaps.

I've seen plenty of pictures and videos on Snapchat of people in their cars. Some snaps people post have the speed filter, and others show their Snapchat friends just how bad traffic is. Some people even take videos of themselves while at a light or while the car is visibly moving. The snaps aren't as annoying as the fact that these people who are Snapchatting while their cars are moving are putting other drivers or pedestrians in danger. Snapchatting and driving can be just as dangerous as texting and driving. Whatever you have to tell Snapchat can wait until you park or at least come to a complete stop in your car. That snap is not worth your life and it definitely isn't worth taking someone else's life.

2. Temperature snaps.

Oh, the temperature snaps. Yeah, I don't have a profound reason for thinking these snaps are annoying. I just do. At least 80 percent of my Snapchat friends live in the same state as I do. I know what the temperature is. Not to mention, I live in Florida, so my Snapchat feed is full of people posting snaps and complaining about the terrible Florida heat. Although, I will admit that I am guilty of using Snapchat to check the temperature when I am too lazy to turn on the news.

3. Snaps with a ton of writing but only a few seconds.

For the love of everything good and holy, please check the little timer on the bottom-left of the screen before you post a photo onto your story. I like you. I want to hear what you have to say. I want to read what you wrote, but if you type more than two lines worth of text and only put three seconds on the timer, I promise you I didn't read more than the first line. Sometimes, I will go back and screenshot the snap if I am really interested in what my friend had to say, but a good rule of thumb is to always check your timer so you don't annoy your viewers.

4. A snap of you in every single filter available.


I get it. Filters are fun. Some of the funniest snaps people post are videos of them saying or doing something funny with a filter. But posting more than five snaps of you in different filters is just too much.

5. Way too many snaps in a row of the exact same thing.


Some snap stories are extremely repetitive, like the one in this image that has 101 snaps left in the story. If you look at your snap story and the fifth snap you posted is almost the same as the fifteenth snap you posted, your snap audience is probably cursing your name. Usually, this happens when people go to concerts, dance parties or clubs. If you get the opportunity to go see Selena Gomez or Ariana Grande in concert, then you better post an hour's worth of snaps so I can enjoy the concert too. But if you get tickets to see a not-so-popular band from a genre of music most people don't care for, maybe 20 snaps of all the songs is not such a great idea.

Another snap that annoys me is people dancing at a party or club... over, and over and over. When people use the front-facing camera to post snaps of themselves and their friends singing and dancing, I get it. You're having a good time, there's probably alcohol involved and you want to post it on your Snapchat. Go ahead! However, I have some friends on Snapchat, especially celebrities, who take this to a whole new level. It is not uncommon for me to have to go through over 20 snaps of the same person singing and dancing on his or her Snapchat story. If that's what you want to do, do it. Just know some of your followers are slapping you with their minds through their phone screens.

All in all, your Snapchat is yours and you can post whatever you want. If you are proud of the content you post, then no one else's opinion really matters. However, if your goal is to keep your followers and not have people block your story, I hope these annoying snaps have helped you understand what people do and don't want to see.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
