>people who take photos of things when they're not on holiday
When did this become acceptable? Was it with facebook? Was it with camera phones?
I'm one of the last people I know who doesn't take photos of things. I went on vacation last year and took 70 photos and only realized after that I was only in 1 of them.
Why do people do this? What's wrong with just experiencing things, why do these bland trogs have to document everything?
Because it's nice to remember things. But when it becomes more about creating the memory than actually experiencing it, then it's a problem. If I'm on holiday somewhere that I'll never be again, then you're goddamn right I'll take pictures.
Picture related. It was a very unremarkable moment, but it's captured forever. This was back in 2009 so people weren't so obsessed with their smartphones. Instead, everyone's intently watching the chess game. I don't know, it gave me feels.

>checked
but why would you take photos outside of holiday
like people have dozens of photos of them with their friend in mundane places like the coffeshop or a football game or the beach
WHY DOES THIS NEED TO BE DOCUMENTED

There's plenty of special occasions outside of a holiday. Some people just like documenting their lives. Give a kid a disposable camera in the 1980s and they will happily snap everything they see. Same thing happens if you give a kid a smartphone in 2016. There's just something about it. I don't really take pictures myself, but I see why people do it.

Digital dilution. Photographs cost money per photograph at one point - as such, people valued them and enjoyed the fact that they had any such documents of their lives.
Now, people still want that feeling of validation that personal photographs can give, but have no restraint. A physical photo album is something that had to be built with a little bit of care. Now it's "You added a beercan to the pile! I'll make the Snapchat this time!"

Not everyone is privileged enough to have vacations.
