I agree with you there...and to top it off...sometimes they tag you too! (so it gets added to your facebook!) makes me mad!
My (best) friend is nototrious for doing this to me, so I know exactly what you're talking about. I think she does it for three reasons:
- sometimes it's a good picture of her which means it doesn't matter what I look like
- sometimes it's a bad picture but it's still cute to her
- as much as she loves me, honestly, she enjoys it a little when I don't look my best :P
Of course the 4th option is, we're our own worst critics so a bad picture to us might not be a bad picture to them
Ha, what's really annoying is when you untag the picture and they go and RETAG IT!!! WTF!
This infuriates me. I will first untag myself, then message the person for them to remove the picture. Argh!
I've already posted about my little (or big) boob problem at my wedding. And my friend knows how concerned I am about it all but she just posted a string of photos where my boobs are everywhere! And where my face looks busted! She has over 400 Facebook friends! Why not just host a party for all of them where they can take turns motorboating me?
She also seemed a little annoyed when I asked her to take some of them down...
I'm wondering the same thing! My friend just got mad at me about this. To make a long story short, we went to a concert and took lost of pics. I didn't like the way I looked but she came out pretty. So I told her not to post the pictures ne where! Well today she sends me an email saying she's mad(not seriously though) because another friend has pics of me up from when we went out on a different night. She thinks that I just don't want pics up on her myspace/fb but what i don't want is BAD pics up. Now I'm hoping that I don't look as dumb in the pics that are already out there!
I know what you mean!! One thing though.. you can set your privacy on facebook so that only you can see photos tagged of yourself. That's what I did! I laughed and had so many weird facial expressions in this one dude's album on facebook. He's not friends with any of my friends. His friends can see it but it's okay, I hardly know them. He even commented about how he was so proud that 'he took more photos than our photographer' hehe.
Yeah, I have friends who do this. Although I try to take it with a grain of salt, because I know I'm my biggest critic. I do WANT them to post pictures of us together since we're friends and it isn't their fault I used to be fat. You know?
I can understand being our own worst critics. But I am talking about those totally awful photos. I have seen photos of other people that I have thought were awful and wondered why their friend posted it. And I am not their worst critic!
I don't know...I mean, I don't really see the big deal. If I look absolutely horrible in a picture, I'll untag, but usually I just leave it. I have one friend who seems to think she looks terrible in every picture and untags herself all the time. She finally just set her FB to where no one can see tagged pictures of her. I would never put a picuture up of someone that I think looks bad, but sometimes people are either a little to critical of themselves, or a little too concerned about what others think.
I hate it!! I also always notice when people remove blemishes/red eye/shadows from themselves but not you or pictures with you! haha
@ eryepye - What prompted me to write this thread is my boobs! All over Facebook! And we have so many common friends that untagging the photos won't shield them!
I am soooooo modest and my friend knows how self conscious I am about this...I've spent the past 29 years of my life hiding my boobs from the world. And now, here they are!
I don't want 400 people seeing this (and ten other photos just like this):
To make matters worse, it's a bad photo of my face and there is no one else in the photo.
I agree! Sometimes I feel like people TRY to take pictures of me either while I'm talking (a good majority of the pictures people post of me look like this) or at an angle that makes me look twice as big as I am. A friend of mine posted a picture of me where I was talking and looked huge and then I met a friend of hers and she actually told me that I must have lost major weight because I didn't look nearly as fat in real life as I did in my picture (mind you, I had not lost any weight). She said this the first time I met her! How rude is that?
So yes, jocelyn3476, I completely agree with you.
Ok, the boob thing I tooootally get--I was thinking more of "Oh, I don't like the funny face I'm making in that shot" like my friend does. What a mean friend! Maybe she's jealous of your, ahem, lovely set. ;)
sometimes i post bizzare photos i find on the internet (not of people) and tag my brother in retaliation for him posting bad photos of me. when you click a link to his pics and see him tagged as a wombat or bat boy, i think it gets the point across.
vistagirl: That is ABSOLUTELY hilarious. I need to do that.
jocelyn3476: I forgot to mention that, though the boobs sort of popped out at me the first time I saw that, your sleeves are gorgeous. =D
I have a squinty eye that comes out when I'm tired/have had too much to drink, and a double chin from several angles. Definitely felt like a diva untagging those photos on facebook, but some are just unforgiveable. My sister is notorious for this.
I think every hates when bad photos go up of themselves. I'm glad of the ability to untag, but the photos are still up for most of my friends to see!
I got especially annoyed of this with my wedding photos, because I really only wanted to share a few professional photos with facebook...and of course dozens went up of all kinds of things, for everyone to see!
LatteLove: I agree on the wedding photos. One of my aunts went with me to try on my wedding dresses and she took pictures and posted them on FB. I was so afraid my FI would end up seeing them, but she wouldn't take them down.
This bothers me too! But I just have to say jocelyn, I've heard about your boobage problem on here, so I expected them to be ALL. OUT. But its really not nearly as bad as I thought! Of course, what matters is whether you are happy with the pictures, but I just thought I'd let you know I think it looks fine!
Oh, yeah, not all that bad. I'm assuming they didn't zoom in and take a picture of your chest like that. It's only when you crop the picture so it's just boobage that it really stands out so much.
That was actually one of the good pictures. I don't have it in me to post the ones where they are lopsided.
My FI hates when I tag pics of him on FB....even one's that are really good...he just always hates the way he looks in pics...I used to hate when friends would post bad pics of me, but figure there are so many more where I look fine and it out weighs the ugly.
Gah! I have asked someone three times to remove a photo and it is still there! It's just my husband and me. Not cool!
LOL this is hilarious & Jocelyn, I'm still cracking up when you say "like this!" and then have the picture. It is SO true though, people can CLEARLY tell when pictures are bad, its not rocket science, & I find it so funny when they write something like "cute" in it LOL. I just think its so funny & I just untag myself and then hope that others don't see if on their page ;)
I have the same issue sometimes! It's so frustrating, but I'm learning to pick my battles.

Why do people post bad photos of other people? Like, undeniably, empirically, objectively bad photos? And especially ones where no one else is in the photo other than the person who looks so awful?
I'd like to believe that whoever is posting the photo just isn't paying close enough attention. But I feel like there needs to be some responsibility when it comes to posting photos for hundreds of people to see! Sometimes, I can't help but think that it is a little malicious when someone flips through their camera and sees a photo of a good friend with acne and a double chin and thinks, "Hey! I should post this! And tag you, too!"
