Pet Peeve
I love my digital camera. For most of my friends that know me, I am very reliable for bringing my camera on most outings. I like to capture the moment, take action shots, and have memories of everything. I'm sure you have tons of albums in your snapfish account from me or get annoyed at the ridiculous number of times I tell you to look over here at the camera.
What I am also known for though, is my quick turn-around time for posting my pictures. What is the point of taking pictures of a group event if I don't share it? What is the reason for me telling you, "yes I'll send these to you" if I never do? There is none!
So I have come to realize this is one of my biggest pet peeves. Those people that take all the photos but never send it out! I don't like you! Now there are different instances of this so let me be absolutely clear so everyone out there knows my expectations:
If we take 1-5 photos of something minor, although I may still want to see them, I don't really expect them from you. If I really wanted them I would send you an appropriate text message, email, phone call to ask you to send them my way. I have no problem hassling you if I am in need of the photo (ahem Grishma!). But if YOU come to a Bachelorette party with about 15 other girls and you are the ONLY ONE with a camera and PROMISE to send out these photos, and DON'T??? Well you are a big stinker.
In Kripsie land, I would have those suckers downloaded and uploaded within 24-48 hrs. I understand not everyone has a job that doesn't give them enough work; got it. So, for the rest of the human race, I will give you one week (including a weekend). 2 weeks, I'm a little anxious, but ok, let's see after the weekend. But anything after that, you officially should have your camera stolen.
