Why don't people just carry mirrors around with themselves, if they want to look at their own face so much.

Excellent plan. What if you wanted to hold the mirror a bit further away though, to see your own face, more in the context of the specific surroundings? If only there were a clever device to hold it for you.

Slightly hijacking the thread - for people that use facebook.

What is it with people that have to check in, everywhere they go and tag you with them at every available opportunity? I don't want people knowing where I am - I especially don't want them knowing I'm there with a narcissist.

I did see a girl the other day taking pics of the back of her head then looking at them to see what her hair looked like. FFS.

If you can recall in detail all of the sights/sounds/emotions of events without any aide memoire then you are lucky. Most people with children cherish photos and video clips of their kids at younger ages and I certainly enjoy looking at Youtube of Albion matches and crowds...

I wonder how many children are going to grow up totally ****ed off with their entire life from birth to adult being documented and published all over the net by their parents though? ****ed off is probably the best, at worst it could lead to other issues down the line. I'm quite a private person and would be horrified if my life was splattered all over Facebook/Instagram etc by my parents.

Fat munter takes selfie and puts it on Facebook.

Typical response "wow you look great babe, you are so beautiful.

ffs, you're a dog in a dress that's too small for you.

That REALLY annoys me.

"ahhh, you look stunning babe'

Really? Really? Does she really look stunning?

I turned facebook off a few weeks ago because of this very thing.

I've never taken a selfie and never will.

I can see why a selfie stick might be a useful device, but only for very rare occasions. I say this having seen a number of selfie stick selfies which are the most pointless of photographs.

Using it with a GoPro is different and not at all bellendish.

That made me laugh. I guess it can go too far. In the round though differences are good and this seems pretty innocent (btw I dont use facebook so perhaps avoid the horrors indicated by others). As long as they're not at an event like a game or a concert, that really annoys me. I see Arsenal and Spurs have banned them.
