Add Hashtags to Old Pictures
No matter how cute you are, this shit is still annoying. We don't want to see your pics from two months ago and if we did, we probably would have already looked at them and forwarded them to a friend to make fun of.
Tag People For No Reason At All
Chill with the mentions, bruh. Nobody wants to see their news feed filled up with people they don't know trying to get some attention. Besides, you never know what opportunity you just lost by making yourself look thirsty.
Try Way Too Hard To Match
When you're "about that life" you have to live it. We imagine you started your day by hopping out of your camo print bedsheets, showered with matching camo print Axe shampoo and body wash, then brushed your teeth with that new camo print toothpaste before throwing this fit on and taking on the day.
Wearing Sneakers You're Trying to Sell
This shouldn't even be something we have to mention. Wearing kicks that you're trying to sell? WTF? It's cool, though. You wanna buy some sweaty-ass socks too? Got you, homie.
"Accidentally" Leave Other Pairs in the Background
Accidents happen, sometimes you just happen to have adidas PrimeKnits, Air Force III Escapes, Supreme-inspired NIKEiDs, UNDFTD Pro Leathers and Ewings in the background. We get it, you wanna show you got that heat but come on, bruh bruh.
Use Sneaker Related Hashtags For All the Wrong Reasons
We may have hope that the Big Guy upstairs is in fact a sneakerhead, but the reality is, adding sneaker-related Instagram tags to Bible verses is a bit misleading, isn't it? That was another reading from the book of Xanthus.
Create Terrible Memes
Leave the meme creations to the funny people. Failing like this is not doing anything to up your follower count and if your friends told you it was funny, it's only because they're laughing AT you.
Ruin Their Pictures With Filters
This ain't Tron, bro. We dig your sneaker choices, but it's a little over the top with all those filters. (Note: This is especially true for all you dudes that try to make your beaters look new with filters. You ain't foolin' nobody.)
Use Too Many Hashtags
#HASHTAGOVERLOAD
Take Their Picture Taking Too Seriously
No need to retake that picture 30 times. When it's all said and done, they're just sneakers. Don't take them so seriously and just enjoy the fact that you're fortunate enough to get them and share your passion for them with your friends.
