Next month it's 10 years since Instagram started. And, well, that's a lot of posts. So here is a list of things you have definitely, probably, posted in the time you've had an account...
A picture of your breakfast
In the ranking of most instagrammable meals, the definitive list goes: breakfast, dinner, lunch. Lunch just isn’t the gram meal of the day, is it? Maybe we should change that.
Anyway, breakfast, you’ve all done it. Bonus points for avocado obviously.
P.s. we’re obsessed with @whatiateforbreakfast
A roast dinner
Did you even eat a Yorkshire Pudding if you didn’t put it on Instagram? Bonus points for red wine or a boomerang titled 'gravy porn'
A burger
Yes, there are so many instagrammable foods, but surely, over the 10 year Instagram history, the evolution of the burger pic is the one...
'This one'
Friend, family member, boyfriend of 87 seconds, or a dog. Could've been any of the above. But in Instagram world, they're only ever 'This one'.
The 'Felt Cute, Might Delete Later'
You've done it. You felt cute. You had no intention of deleting later. Did you.
'This'll do nicely'
Usually on arriving on holiday... WHY CAN NONE OF US SPEAK PROPERLY ON INSTAGRAM?
'Not Your Average Monday'
See above.
'Monday Blues' - but a picture of the sea on a Monday while on holiday
See what you did there. Nice.
Vitamin Sea
Or any sea-related pun. SEA YOU LATER!
'Today's office'
Obligatory to post this when working anywhere but an office. Used to be a humblebrag about working on a holiday, or in a cosy home. Currently just... life.
A picture in front of a pretty door
What did we used to use doors for, eh?
Some street art
You may or may not be in front of the street art. You may or may not have noticed the offensive graffiti in the corner.
A kid starting school
For those with kids... not just a random kid. That'd be quite weird. Bonus points for faux embarrassment about doing it, but still... doing it.
Glasses clinking cheers to the weekend
Extra points for Boomerang. In fact, if you didn't do it in a boomerang, MINUS POINTS, because what's the point?
Some flowers in a field
Usually as spring starts. Bonus points: an inspirational quote about nature healing or leaving winter.
That one time someone sent you flowers
Because, like, someone sent you flowers.
Latte art
I don't even like coffee and have considered buying a latte for the gram.
An anniversary post
Because you didn't pay a few grand to use those pictures once.
Bae
Yes, you probably used it ironically (it's funny because it's about my cat!) but it still counts.
Date Night
As above, hardly ever actually about a date night, but more likely you in your PJs with your dog tryna be funny. And why the hell not?
#Blessed
Yes also if you used ironically. Bonus points for posted in a caption of a sunset pic. Extra bonus points if you did the emoji that people can't decide if it's praying or high-fiving.
Some sourdough
Probably this year, but not necessarily. Some of us have been eating sourdough since, like, 2012 hun.
A haircut
Yeah just... a hair cut really that one.
A manicure
Yeah, a manicure.
Your outfit.
Yeah, that's... your outfit.
Your jewellery
Aaaand yep, your jewellery.
Your make-up
Your make-up.
A motivational quote
Yes, even you. Yes, probably when someone good died in 2016. But still, you.
A candid that wasn't candid
The dictionary definition of candid reads: 'truthful and straightforward; frank'. So basically, nothing that's ever been on Instagram, then.
A World Book Day Picture
The only reason 35% of people even bothered having a child tbh. HERE IS MY KID BECAUSE SORRY HE'S THE BEST BYE DON'T @ ME
Some books
Now called: A 'To Be Read Pile'.
Engagement ring post of any kind
Presumably of your own hand or partners, but we're not judging if not. Must include in the caption #SheSaidYes / #HeSaidYes.
A caption starting, 'When you...'
Have you ever said this anywhere not on social media? Ever?
That arms up pose Millie Mackintosh always did
Usually with a peace sign. Often at a festival.
A TBT
Don't even come at me with a FBF, that DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. You forgot yesterday hun, you'll just have to post it net week.
A baby photo
ESPECIALLY a baby photo with some kind of alcohol, or where you're with a sibling. Also often sighted with a TBT caption too.
A thirst trap
JUST ADMIT IT.
A photo with too much editing
You felt cute, but then looking at it (sober) the next morning, you might actually delete because you look like a wax work.
Caption including a song lyric
You thought no-one else had thought of it, but I'm telling you, sorry, they already probably have.
Hot dog legs
Even if you look more cheap spammy ones, than beautifully bronzed and bbq-ed ones. A holiday necessity.
A hen do you went on
You're probably doing an activity no one has DEFINITELY done before...
And then there were three/four/five etc etc
When announcing a baby. Or a new pet. Or, yknow, a growing shoe collection. Wherever you're at.
Attending a festival
When you're not using your phone to shine a light and sway, you're undoubtedly taking pics (even though back in the day, you reeeeally didn't have the battery for it).
Doing some yoga
Think about it, why on earth would anyone WANT to desperately do a headstand. Well, looks good on the grid, doesn't it? Oh, and yeah, ok, it does make you feel quite good fine.
Your Christmas tree
Also: wrapped presents. And your mum doing something silly half cut on a glass of prosecco in December.
That instagram wall in LA
Other pink walls are accepted, but you know the one...
A jumping pic
Would be interested to hear how long it took to get one where you didn't look like you were just crouching on the floor.
Having a bath
Be VERY careful on what can be reflected in all the various surfaces. Or don't, if that's what you're trying to achieve.
A pic taken at 'Golden Hour'
Never is an hour. Just FYI
About last night
Usually posted the next morning because you were too hammered to press the right buttons and type a caption on the actual night out. Fair enough.
A dance challenge
YOU YOUNG TIKTOKERS DIDN'T START EVERYTHING YOU KNOW.
Dog ears
YES, we used to put filters ON THE GRID. I know. Gen Z are so embarrassed of us. Often this would be something HILARIOUS, like a baby with dog ears. A baby! With dog ears!
A sepia stained pic that looks like it's been dipped in tea
Yeah we went hard on the filters when we first started but also...
No Filter
Also will accept: 'No filter necessary'. Very wide category: includes everything from a face to a sunset.
A picture of a concert you went to
Where even though you paid LOADS of money to sit near the front/queued and didn't take a wee for six hours standing at the front, the singer looks as big as a pin prick.
SEE ALSO: People who take pictures of bands on the big screen and post them as if it's a picture they took of them on the stage.
Something a bit Hygge
Anything that mentions hot chocolate, pumpkin lattes, turning the heating on, using a blanket. Use to just be called 'Autumn'.
Take Me Back!
Another excuse to post your holiday pics... about seven hours after you've returned.
Most likely posted about 7 hours after you’ve returned…..
Sundaze
Just... something nice you did on a Sunday.
A caption include the word 'vibes'
Hen do vibes! Holiday vibes! BFF vibes! All count.
Beach please
And all other using the word 'beach' to stand in for the word 'bitch'
Some rosé
Like, now seems ironic. But at one point, we just were really thrilled to be having some rose tbh. Simpler times.
A picture of some gin
Ditto gin. Guys, FYI, liking gin is not a personality trait. I don't make the rules. It's gin. It's nice. Most of us like it. And yes, most of us have tried it with rosemary in now.
But first coffee
Or any picture of some coffee.
Unusual use of the word 'like'
As in, [insert phrase of choice] Watching the weekend whizz by like…/Bitches be like…/Watching the waiter bring my food like… Like, yknow?
