That is quite enough 'selfie' display, thank you

For anyone stuck behind a desk, Instagram is a no-go-zone.

"Another day in paradise" or 'Tough work if you can get it" typify the nauseating captions that accompany the never-ending stream of "selfies" of people you soon realise you actually kind of despise. Look at them striking a retro-filtered pose on some tropical shore/yacht/luxurious resort or other. Don't they know some of us are at work?

Well, according to new research by search engine Bing, which surveyed 2000 adults, these vitriolic feelings (the ones in which you secretly wish said poseur would accidentally fall off the side of their stupid yacht) are totally normal.

With the possible exception of Rihanna's bottom (the eighth and ninth wonder of the world), I for one would be happy to never again bear witness to Miranda Kerr doing gravity-defying yoga in a string bikini on a white sandy beach (yawn), or the dreaded Miley Cyrus dressed as a stripper on a night off, poking out her enormous tongue (eww).

But fear not Insta-fans, this does not mean the end of the social snap - users of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram combined now total more than 1.5billion - but should serve merely as a digital-age etiquette guide. Oscar Wilde once said "to love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance", but there's nothing more off-putting than a public display of affection.
