On a night out there are too many people wanting to take photos to just relax and enjoy yourself.

It wouldn't be too bad, but at least one of them won't be happy with the way they look so it takes even longer taking several.

I assume that is normal these days.
Must be

I just noticed someone on my FB put up a load of holiday snaps. I say holidays snaps, what they actually were, were photos of herself with random bits of the country she visited just happening to be in the background. All of them.

Post on all of them, "I don't believe you went there. You just photoshopped yourself into this photo."

Looks like he's just left hospital due to a pulmonary embolism - steroid use, much?

I wonder what sort of mug would follow his life coaching advice. smile

I think the really sad thing about gym selfies is the haters.

Someone is bettering themselves, why not support it?
^This.

Plus some of the gym selfies from the ladies... cloud9
^^ This. As much as I dont like it, when you've worked for something its natural to want to show off a bit about it. Also, never take the piss over people in the gym. They've regonised they can improve and are taking steps to do so, and not have the piss taken.
Bettering yourself is great, taking pictures of yourself in the gym just to show others is narcissism, pure and simple. I recently started walking to work in a bid to lose some weight - its a good thing and others agree when in conversation on the matter, but I feel no desire to whip out my phone en-route to work and take a selfie to post online.
In 6 months time when you've lost 3 stone and look and feel much better you might change your mind. Then you'll have something to be proud of - or show off about if you will.

Nope, plenty of people feel otherwise about putting up pics in public, regardless of where they've got to. However, I also have some sympathy with the celebration of achievement POV for some, as it can be a release or virtual finger to the world. Regularly is a complete nono though.


As for SA, must be the thirstiest, mask obsessive, late 70's to early 80's Ricardo Montalblan fan around. He should have a face off with Shaun T hehe
