Do you snap chat?

[Deleted]

So I was with a bunch of my girlfriends this weekend and they all snap chat throughout the day. Just random stuff.

I didn't realize this was a thing. I added them all and so far today, I have received the following snap chats:
One friend eating a banana.
One friend pouting that it's Tuesday and not Friday.
One friend's dog.
One friend's desk at work.
One friend's sunburn.


I don't mind them and it's fun to chat back and forth, but I find the whole thing a little bizarre. I don't know what I'm supposed to take a picture of?! I feel weird sending selfies.

I've snapchatted another friend before, but we always have purpose to them.

I didn't even know what is was until my 19 y/o neice was telling me about it last year. She was talking to my sister about "screenshotting a snapchat" and I was like wut. I'm old.

[JamaicanPineapple]

I have no clue how to use it. And no desire to learn.

/old

[ProfessorArtNerd]

I don't really get it, either. No one wants to see my face that much! And I don't get the satisfaction of responding

[EmilieMadison]

No. What's the point? I dont get it. 

[bornbaker]

I've tried it - I don't know why I would snap chat if I could just send you a pic in a text.

I was also getting a lot of spam snaps so I deleted the app.

[bbaggins]

I don't understand the difference between snap chat and instagram.

I like Vine a lot but never post videos.

[rachers]

I don't think I've ever sent one (maybe one of the dog or something) but I check it every now and then. Some of my friends come up with funny ones - like they'll take a picture and use the draw tool to turn it into something.

I still prefer instagram.

[eb777888]

Oh, I thought snapchat pictures only lasted a few seconds. That's how my neice explained it to me.

[eddy]

I have two friends who snapchat with each other. So I tried to send a funny picture of myself and they never responded. LOL

So I am either so old I don't know how to use this, sent it to the wrong people, or they secretly hate me.

I only do it with by BFF. It's mostly inside jokes and stuff like that. She lives far from me and it is hard for us to catch up sometimes so it's our way of keeping in touch.

I tried to get into it but dude just text me..

OMGGGGGGAAAAAH EB. No, nothing just lasts a second. It can be screenshotted!! It is SOMEWHERE!!!! Lol I feel like I am talking to my students right now.

OMG, I don't fucking use it! lol. See where my neice was talking to me about screenshotting a snapchat.

But can't you just text? Not being snarky. I really wonder this.

[Jalapeñomel]

No, I'm old.

[W.T.Faulkner]

My little sister and her friends use it a lot, and I have it and receive the snaps of others, but rarely snap myself.

Then again, I am using snap as a verb.

[eddy]

Wait, very important update. They did snap me back. I am just dumb and can't figure out how to use the app. I got a pic of one of their kid's eating corn and another of the Chicago skyline. I don't know how to respond back lol.

I don't get it.

[wambam]

I have no reason to.

lol. I know. I was kidding. But they don't get it and it drives me insane.

I heart you.

Okay, phew. You can rest assured these boobs are nowhere on the internet, lol.

We could but we can write sayings on the pictures and stuff. We are trying to be cool. LOL!

[BeagleMama]

I do it but the only people who send me pictures are two of my young-pretty-hip-they-let-me-hang-out-with-them coworkers. It's fun but I'm not really "into" it.

DH coaches a college athletic team and the girls are using it constantly back and forth with each other and friends.

I get funny snapchats from my kids sometimes throughout the day while I'm working. And once in awhile from my sis and BIL. But that's the extent of it.

Fair enough lol I guess I'm so not creative. You get a picture text with a funny text under it. No drawings cause I suck and my fingers are fat!

[berbles]

I use it for sending pics/vids that I don't need to keep. Like pics of my lunch to make my BF jealous. Hah.

[missanne]

Mainly with my cousins who I don't get to see often. My H is on there, but rarely uses it.
I have one girl on there I wish I wouldn't have accepted, she's sends me the dumbest shit.

[LeggsBenedict]

errday all day with my h.

but I don't send him pics of me eating a banana. I'm a lady.

See I don't think you can respond. That's what's so confusing. It is one sided communication and it makes me feel weird.

Maybe that is why it confuses me. I sent them a goofy picture of myself waving at them saying like Hi I am on snapchat. I thought it would start a funny dialogue. I was wrong.

[amandakisser]

My husband uses it a lot because he HATES group text, and he always gets caught in the middle of one. If you snap chat, no alert pops up (unless you change the settings) so you can send a pic to ten friends for them to look at on their own. Plus, he's pretty funny and will type or draw things on the picture to make it even more hilarious.

I use it to send him dirty pictures, because even if he DOES take a screen shot (which he never has)...he's my husband and he's not showing that shit off anywhere, you know?

You respond by sending a pic....or you can send a message (if you have the newer version of the app)

So if they send me a pic of them eating a banana and it says "breakfast!" What do I take a picture of to send back? I had already eaten my breakfast!
