Default style of vacation taken by someone who doesn’t care about you: A vacation where you’re not invited, and on the vacation they take a million pictures and put them all online.
Girls especially love to do this.
When asked about why they put so many pictures online they’ll say something like “I want to share the happiness.”
Yeah right. They don’t care about sharing happiness. They just care about sharing evidence. It’s like with each photo they’re saying to the world “Hey! The average person goes on one vacation per year? Well, I went to three tourist hot spots and did five recreational activities last year and I have the fucking photos to prove it!”
People that don’t care about you love to post pictures of themselves having fun without you.
“Hey look at me! I am having such a good time, I can hardly open my eyes. Too bad you didn’t come. Oh yeah that’s right, I didn’t invite you. This is my good friend sitting on my left. She’s having a great time. I invited her.”
Why is this picture even online? It’s like they think someone is going to see it and go “Wow! Look at that! Two girls and some random dork wearing a helmet on a ski lift! I am so happy! Thank God this picture is online!” A person like that would probably be happy over anything. Like getting run over by a truck.
Then there’s the group shot.
People who don’t care about you especially love to put bar group shots online.
“Hey! Take a look at me getting wild and crazy at a bar with all my friends! I have so many friends that I can hardly fit them into this picture. I need like, a bigger camera. And look how good my friends dress! Unlike you. That’s why you weren’t invited.”
People who don’t care about you only wear a bikini when they are on vacation and the cameras are rolling.
“Look at me, I’m in a bikini! I love taking off my clothes… when I’m on vacation. If you were here I would make out with you. But you aren’t, so too fucking bad. My friend is taking pictures of me, and I am taking pictures of her. That’s why I have a camera in my hand. We may get ankle deep in the water for some ocean shots. But then after that we’ll head back to the hotel room and plan for tomorrow’s photo shoot.”

To continue in the same vein:
And what about the voluminous amounts of photos of some of the world’s most amazing places…but with the visiting person in front of or the middle of the amazing thing. Here’s the Eiffel Tower…with me in front of it; here’s the Great Pyramids of Giza…with me in front of them; here’s the Grand Canyon…with me in front of it.

Hey Allen,
Yeah, it’s funny you mention the Eiffel Tower with someone in front of it shot because I almost put just such a picture in this post. The caption underneath was going to be something like “Hey, look at me! I’m somewhere famous that you aren’t!” In fact, I don’t know why I didn’t put that picture on here. Maybe I’ll edit this post later. There are plenty of such pictures to choose from if you look online.
But what I think is almost even worse is when people take a picture of something famous WITHOUT themselves in the middle of it. It’s like they are saying to the world “Hey, what this world needs is yet another picture of the Eiffel tower. Ok, no it doesn’t, but hey, look at this famous place I went! I was so busy going to famous places that I didn’t even have time to pose in the pictures.”

pic #2 could also read:
“I invited my friend and every other acquaintance out for a drink, and encouraged all of them to do the same, but I forgot to invite you. I really only know two other people in this photo, but it looks like I have more friends then you. I went home and cried in the dark by myself after this photo was taken.”

Hahaha, so true.

To make the photos more fun, they should change the context. People wearing skiing gear and/or bikinis in front of the Eiffel Tower or jumping off the Eiffel Tower would be photos to share. A big group of people drinking on the steps of a police station perhaps would be nice too…or a big group of people drinking at a funeral or at a wake with a body next to them…now that’s off context enough to share the photo with everyone.
P.S. I may be sick, but I’m happy.

“But what I think is almost even worse is when people take a picture of something famous WITHOUT themselves in the middle of it.”
hey don’t discourage this. It is more useful a picture at least. You can enjoy the view purely, not having to check out the index and middle fingers of someone who doesn’t care about you.

Oh, Ian…just shut up, put your damn string bikini on and we’ll go shoot some drunk group shots of us all swinging from the effin’ Eiffel Tower in Vegas.
8 Ian Bowman // May 6, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Sounds great! Oh, except I don’t own a string bikini. I’ll just go naked.
9 Allen // May 6, 2008 at 1:10 pm
String is so cheap though. You could redefine the string bikini.

Is that girl your sister? where’s the hot pix?
11 Ian Bowman // May 6, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Damn! No that ain’t my sister. As far as the hot pix, “People who don’t care about you put hot pix of themselves online that make you randy.” And I care about you Xin.

I think Allen is right. I think I have a ball of twine somewhere. We could just slap some twine between your cheeks and you’d be ready for your photo!
(The scary part is I know you’d do this challenge!) =)
