pet peeve of the day

People who don't edit their baby pictures.

Yes, they're cute. Each one is cute. But three fo them are very similar. Yes, I see they are slightly different. To you, the parent, there are nuances which mean the world. To me, one expression is only slightly goofier than the other.

Don't get me wrong. I want to see pictures of your kids. I just want to see something new in each one. And I have limited bandwidth.

This is also a problem with vacation pictures. Yes, Prague is beautiful. But ten photos of red rooftops is no different than two of them. Except that it takes longer.

For a guy who's into photography, I'm surprised you haven't switched to a cable modem yet. You need it for what you do.

Baby pictures won't seem nearly as irritating.

For a gal who's had kids, I'm surprised you haven't spotted that other people's kids are much less interesting than your own. I want to show you dozens of pictures of mine, but I only want to see one or two of yours.

What if the babies were on the rooftops of Prague?

Same rules apply.
