Cell phone cameras have turned a bunch of people into narcissists. I’ve never even used the camera on the first and only smart phone (iPhone) I’ve owned for about 8 or 9 years now.
I have a flip-phone with a camera, and I was always hitting the button and taking a picture of the inside of my pocket. I finally got fed up with it and superglued the button so that it can't be pressed.
Now, watch: it will be just my luck to have a UFO in clear view, with the crew out sunning themselves, and I won't have a camera to take a picture with ...
Yes, selfie-taking is an annoying little trend. I remember seeing some chickie sitting in the passenger seat of a car in a busy parking lot, mugging for her phone and taking picture after picture of herself. In broad daylight. I can just imagine the conversation that took place when they parked:
”Aren’t you coming in?”
”No, I want to stay out here to admire and photograph myself.”
”Again???”
I also had one behind me at a traffic light once who was taking selfies as she waited for the light to turn green.
I’ve seen Pinterest pages that are nothing but selfies of the page-owner.
And none of these chickies are anything to write home about.
I use my camera often, but have never taken a selfie. I wouldn’t even know how.
I don’t use my phone much. When I pre-trip the vehicle I am assigned for work, I take photos of any damage I see on the vehicle, as well as reporting it on paper. It’s call CYA.
Also, during the CCP-Coronavirus CONdemic, as I refused the shots, I had to self-test for the CCP-coronavirus, three times a week. I would submit a photo of the results of the test to a website that verified the results were negative. I still have those pixels, just in case.
What I discovered from the CCP-Coronavirus CONdemic is that, to unscrupulous, would-be dictator politician/thugs, like Crime Minister Justin(e) Castreau, and former Alberta Premier Oberführer ‘Justin’ Kenney and defeated (ha, ha) former Health Minister ShamWow Shandro, ‘freedom’ is merely a VERY thin velvet veneer over the iron fist such pols feel they wield over the populace. Canaduh needs to have something equivalent to your 2nd ammendment, to keep such would-be dictators in line!
