The 7 Most #Annoying Types Of WeChat Moments

---

---

No point beating around the bush. Here are the 7 most annoying types of WeChat Moments.

---

#Using,hashtags ## incorrectly#

---

Even normal hashtagging is annoying. As if a normal ego-boosting WeChat post wasn't bad enough, adding a hashtag is a telltale sign that the person is an ego-junkie. Like "dinner with the girls, wine on the bund #mykindofweekendforrealz."

Then you've got the local, confused way of just liberally sprinkling words with hashtags. Slathering everything in hashtags -- ie. "# see you at #storm#festival #" --doesn't make you 'in': it just makes you look like you need to go to the Xujiahui Metro building and fix your faulty phone.

Virtual Cosmetic Surgeon

---

It's understandable to want to look your best. But the problem is when some people spend an hour micro-editing each selfie, to the extent that you don't even recognize them in person. 

You look forward to seeing them the gorgeous WeChat Veela; then the next day the person comes in they just came from Fight Club, with their jawline swollen and their eyes shrunken. Not to mention they're about 20 shades darker, having gone from "arctic albino" to "Moroccan Terracotta" on the Dulux paint chart. Not that we care either way, but it might be best to reduce the filters and effects sometimes.

Taking the world personally

---

"Oh great, now it's raining AGAIN and my weekend is ruined!" or "So I have to use a Chinese bank card in Uber! This is unbelievable! THANKS Uber #myweekendisruined."

Neither the natural effect of precipitation nor the business plans of billion RMB companies have been made with you in mind. The ability to consider that global scale issues are directly relevant to you reveals a passionate love for oneself.

LOOK AT MY LEGS

---

There's nothing wrong with honesty. If you said "Look at my legs! LOOK AT THEM!" then good on you. If you posted photos of your car, or your coffee, or a puddle, which just happened to all be 90% photos of your legs with the rim of a coffee cup / puddle at the top 10%, then your ulterior motives may be questioned. Also, no one ever looked at picture of the Taj Mahal, and said, "you know what would make that better, someone's pasty cankles in the foreground."

---

Endless Quoting

---

We get it — if you put up quotes of really cool and inspirational people, then you hope people will think that you are cool and inspirational. But regularly having quotes obsessed with "I fail so I can succeed", as if you are really on your way to achieving Einstein-level revelations, when you are in fact just normal like the rest of us, is silly.

Knowing Nothing About History

---

Gandhi was racist, just FYI.

In an open letter to the legislature of South Africa’s Natal province, Gandhi wrote of how “the Indian is being dragged down to the position of the raw Kaffir” — someone, he later stated, “whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a number of cattle to buy a wife, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness.”

On white Afrikaners and Indians, he wrote: “We believe as much in the purity of races as we think they do.”

Not that this cancels out all his contributions to humanity or anything; just know who you're quoting, SJWs.

Walking

---

Telling other people that you "ran 5k" is as useful as explaining your most recent bowel movements. Firstly, 5k is about the same as walking to, round, and back from the supermarket. 

Secondly, taking 45 minutes to do so is pretty much standard human walking pace. There might just be a business idea in an app that tracks the movement of your digestive system so that you can show off a fluorescent orange map of how your poop made it all the way to your butthole. #poopingontheweekendwithmygalsforrealz
