BREAKING NEWS: Absolutely Nobody Cares That it is Your Birthday so Stop Spamming Your IG Stories

We live in a time where people post their entire lives on social media. Nobody really cares about each other's lives, to be honest, but we blindly post daily anyways. The one thing that people do once every year is spam their Instagram stories on their birthdays, and folks...nobody cares about your "look at me!" day.

Now I have a few questions. First off, why in the world do girls download all of these fancy templates and formats to post birthday posts for their friends? Do they really care about their friend, or do they just find pictures in their camera roll that they look good in and their friend just happens to be in the same picture?

I feel as if people have to fill an obligation of posting for their friend's birthday now. They don't really care about it, but if they are the ONE friend that didn't post a "Happy Birthday to my best friend in the entire world! Let's get crazy tonight! I love you forever! Finally, 21!" picture in their story so Becky can repost it, then Becky and the rest of ADPi would kick her out of group chats, not invite her to the group study session at the library where all you do is sit on your phone, and ultimately excommunicate her from their lives.

Now let's get to the real culprit, the birthday boy/girl. Those who think that their birthday is a national holiday and should be celebrated by everyone across the globe. I ran the data analytics (googled "how many people have a birthday every day") and after crunching some numbers discovered that 1.7 million people around the world and roughly 814,000 people in the United States celebrate the same birthday. So on your birthday, you are quite literally "one in a million." With that being said, how special are YOU that you have to repost birthday pictures on your now 45 minutes Instagram story?

"WeLl Ty, yOu DoN't HaVe To WaTcH tHeIr StOrIeS iF yOu FiNd It ThIs AnNoYiNg." No, that's not how this works. I, like the rest of the world, spend an absurd amount of time on social media. We can't help it, it's just part of our everyday lives. Don't agree with me? Then how did you even find this blog in the first place? Probably through social media.

Point being, we spend a decent chunk of our day scrolling Instagram and watching your stories. And when it is someone's birthday, that person's story is ALWAYS the first one you have to click on. I don't know why. I'm sure that there is some algorithm or whatever those nerds over at IG HQ are up to, but I'm am just going to stick with my theory of "people are annoying."

Am I acting crazy over something so minuscule in the grand scheme of things? Yeah, sure but you can't argue that seeing a million Happy Birthday posts on someone's story is infuriating. Stop, get help. For the betterment of society just please stop doing this.
