Pretty often see people, usually women, stay at LSU games just long enough to take a selfie, then leave.


I see tourists often who have a wish list if things to see, only to take a selfie and leave.

I don’t get the “in the car” selfies I see a lot of people take.

I asked my wife and her friends about this phenomenon and they told me it's because they've just finished doing their make up in the mirror. Still pretty dumb but I feel better that there's a reason.

I have been recently been told that some people will plan a short weekend getaway to exotic local but do multiple outfit changes for the day to post on social media to give the appearance they are on a longer vacation.



If true, THAT.IS.PATHETIC.

That's incredibly pathetic.

I can't imagine a more miserable way to spend a vacation


What about spending your vacation observing others taking selfies?

I was walking at the Glacier yesterday and came up on a black bear and cubs. This couple come behind me, take a selfie with the bear behind em and leave. I think it's like a high tech scanenger hunt to them

A couple of years ago a friend and his wife came to visit. We went to Garden of the Gods (because no trip to Colorado Springs is complete without a trip to GoG). The wife is walking around on these rocks filming herself for her facebook page and not watching where she's going. One wrong step and she'd be arse over tea kettle down the rocks. He tried to get her to stop and watch where she's going but the narcissism was strong in that one. Fortunately no trips to the emergency room were required.

The kind of guys that take car selfies probably do it for the same reason.

Social media has driven fakeness to new levels. Seriously it's tough to believe anything that you see posted these days. Yes I have seen people do the multiple outfits as well to make it look like a longer vacation. I stay away from people who need to post all that.

ave witnessed a young woman actually tell the rest of the people in the room to go check out the photo she just posted from right where she was sitting. She took a selfie in front of people and wanted them to go check it out. My reply was, "Why? You're sitting right there. I saw you take it."

Yes. It is bad. And it has virtually ruined the dating market.

Right, it's called a "youie", which is just a selfie that someone else takes for you (according to Tom Haveford).
