Is it just me, or is it that the closer you are with one of your friends, the least likely you are to have appropriate pictures to post on main? This is why on those rare, special occasions when a good pic actually is captured, you've gotta take full advantage of the moment and spread that pic like wildfire. Of course the actual photo is important, but nothing brings it all together quite like the caption.

To help curate the perfect Instagram moment for you and your best friend(s), we've come up with an exhaustive list of captions for almost every situation you could ever find yourselves in. Going out dump? We got that covered. Cute little vacation pics? Say less. The immortal and always-overwhelming birthday post? You'll have it drafted weeks in advance. And yes, we made this list especially for you, so that means you have complete permission to literally copy and paste these at your leisure. We won't tell if you won't.

We know you have far more important things to spend your time on than thinking of a clever Instagram caption, so we went ahead and did that leg work for you. So please use those added 20 minutes you gained to creep on your ex-boyfriend’s cousin’s dog’s finsta account or something. Seriously, we value your time.
