Take down all evidence of yourself on Indian elephants.

Delete every album named Machu Pichu, Corfu or Ayia Napa.

And, for God’s sake, un-tag yourself from any full moon parties.

Turns out three-quarters of social media users could not give a monkey’s about your holiday photos. In fact, your friends find them rather annoying.

This is according to which looks at how social media impacts family holidays.

It also found that 77% of respondents post holiday updates on social media.

This means that there’s going to be a major overlap between those who hate on others, and those who post their own pics.

A little piece of hypocrisy that's clearly not lost on some holidaymakers...

The top reason people gave for posting holiday updates? To keep friends and family filled in.

How thoughtful.

That way your loved ones can share in your joy and laughter from their lovely office blocks.

Others were more forthcoming, with 21% of people admitting that the main reason for posting updates was to show off.

That obligation better have been contractual, Hitesh.

A further 10% (perhaps the most honest of the lot) said that their intention was to make people jealous.

Thanks guys.

Young people were found to be the worst offenders, with 90% of 16-24 year-olds saying they post holiday updates.

Of these, 13% said they post as soon as they leave the house, and 10% said they send an update when they reach the airport.

But officially the most irritating image of all was, perhaps unsurprisingly, ‘Hot dog legs on the beach.’

Though this example seems entirely acceptable...

Anyway, when you can no longer bear to be faced with the joy of others, there’s always one solution...

BON VOYAGE.
