Post videos and instastories of themselves while they are driving. No one wants to see you jam out and listen to tunes while the wind blows through your hair. 🙄 I am going to sound old and cantankerous right now, but I don't care. It is so f$&@ing irresponsible, dangerous, and potentially deadly to film yourself while operating a car! It is not cute or funny. People need to put their phones down in the car and stop doing this. #actuallydrive #rantover

I completely agree!
Also, in a related rant: what is up with making an instastory that's a screenshot of your page pointing to your latest post, scribbling over it and saying "new post, go look"? I get that the algorithm doesn't show everything but to me it just seems extra attention-grabby. Like hey, I am so extra that I had to make a post about my post.

It annoys me when the stories are just a series of photos. That’s what the Instagram feed is for.  |

He's in a 2 ton truck watching people film themselves so they can wreck into him. A couple of years back some guy was on his cell phone. Had his wife and three kids in their SUV. Pulls right out in front of my husband. My husband had to slam on his brakes. You can't stop on a dime in a big truck. My DH's truck was on this guy's fender. If my husband didn't slam on his brakes that family would have been dead in a head on crash. The wife almost fainted my DH told me. My city is passing an ordinance if you drive distracted you will be ticketed. If you injure or kill somebody you will be charged with murder.

I put silly photos that I don't really need to keep in my Stories. My phone doesn't save them, so I don't end up filling my phone with flowers and random trees and road signs and other foolish things that catch my eye. (Well, my phone is full of those things! but it would be worse >.< ) I post about 3 photos to my feed every day, but sometimes I share a dozen extra photos in my stories that I figure most of my more casual followers probably don't care to see. I figure they do what I do and click quickly through the stories unless something really catches their eye. I know some people use it to share a lot of photos quickly as they go - no careful caption writing. I do that on busy days when I'm out and about too. And other people use it to keep their feed "curated" and on-brand. |

(Well, my phone is full of those things! but it would be worse >.< ) I actually love the idea of ephemeral shares, be it photos or videos. They can always, however, be saved one way or another by one's viewers so nothing is quite ever safe from being completely deleted and gone but the intention of letting life pass by and celebrating certain moments and impressions in the present without the weight of anchoring everything into a timeline of memory-keeping is both intimate and liberating. I'm all for it and not just for brands and folks who wish to keep their feed properly curated. |

I'm relieved to realize I don't seem to follow anyone who posts while driving. Certainly no wind in the hair driving videos. I'm glad. As a pedestrian, I see people on their phones all the time, especially at intersections and approaching crosswalks and it scares me. (I wonder why the cops don't stand on the street with me - they could fill their coffers pretty quickly with all the illegal phone use fines if they actually paid attention.) But everyone I follow claims they pulled over before they took their awesome rainbow pictures, or they did their video while waiting in the parking lot for their kid.

Colin Kartchner does that all the time. Or he used to I stopped following him. It's just not safe and nothing anyone says is that important that it's worth the risk.

I saw this pop up in instastories after reading this post.

There is no defense of someone driving and taking videos. Are we sure they are driving or moving? I have seen some where they are in a moving car and singing but they are the passenger. The IG filming of it makes it look backwards.
