Anybody else tired of food pictures, and 25 continuous action photos of a jet landing?

Gotta admit, on Shipmate, I am blocking posters that post 185 pictures of a building as they walk around it, 28 photos of an ice berg floating by the ship, EVERY plate of food placed in front of them over a seven-day cruise.

I will admit, seeing 18 people get blown into the Ocean by a jet thrust taking off is nice. And yes, some unique food is appreciated. But a plate of hot dogs? A hamburger? A napkin folded into a heart saying 'happy anniversary' ? (OK, the napkin might be a special picture, that is alright). But most food pictures are so repetitive and so common. Especially the half eaten hot dog. A few posters have over 500 posted pictures of ??? (there life in a 30-second lapse of time). IMO - keep your multitude of pictures on your devices at your homes.

There. A grumpy old man has stated his opinion.

Enjoy your cruises, share the bikinis, keep the speedos on YOUR computer/phone.

Nice comments are welcome. Food pictures are NOT !!!!! Wink

Wait! Calories are a thing? I thought when donuts, fried chicken, and cruising were at hand, calories did not exist!

P.S. With the glasses off, you cannot read the fine print - THUS - calorie free !!!!

Here is a good one.

Those pics were from Costa Rica. I was there recently.

I recall someone Funville that posted many pictures of food he had taken on board. I don't think he was well liked.

They made me ( on request ) an Elvis . PB, banana, bacon, grilled.

Amen!! Amen!!

Agreed. A week long cruise will result in about 8-10 total photos on my phone, and about an equal number on my wife's. After review we'll each probably delete one or two of them, so if we have 15 photos between the two of us, it's a lot. I can assure you that even though I remember a couple of memorable meals, none of the photos are of a plate of food.

I would take issue with the word "rant" however. I think of it more as a "lament" towards the state of our society as a whole.
