THE PHOTO SHARING app Snapchat has encouraged people to be a lot more open about their lives. Perhaps a bit too open.
We wouldn’t do these things on any other app, but on Snapchat, all decorum seems to fall out the window.
The gym mirror Snapchat
Something just comes over people in the gym. One minute, they’re minding their own business on the elliptical.
The next, they’re posing in front of the mirror and informing all their Snapchat followers that it was “leg day”. Cheers for that.
The public transport Snapchat
Everyone on the 16 saw you making this face to send to your friend:
Everyone.
The sneaky ‘I look GREAT’ Snapchat
This snap appears to be about something else – maybe your drink or your dog or the pub you’re in.
Really though, it’s about how fantastic your boobs look in that dress. Or how buff your arms are after all those gym snaps. We’re on to you.
The decades-long Snapchat story
Tip: People generally lose interest after 30 seconds.
The ‘Admire my holiday/new clothes/new car’ Snapchats
Smugness has a home on Snapchat.
“Oh NBD, just chilling in Barbados. How’s boring old Ireland? Sunny? DIDN’T THINK SO.”
The ‘I’M AT A GIG’ Snapchat video
Flashing lights streaking across the screen. Backs of heads, and somewhere, the muffled sound of the band. Consider that unique ambiance captured!
The ‘covert’ Snapchat
There’s no way to discreetly snap that man behind you with the shin-length dreadlocks, but you’re going to do it anyway.
The toilet Snapchat
Welcome to 2015, where people take Snapchats of themselves sitting on the toilet and send them to their friends.
And the drunk Snapchat(s)
Snap EVERYONE. Snap EVERYTHING. Delete it all in the morning.
