7 Occasions You Should Never Consider Taking 'selfies' by msmon(m): 1:07pm On Feb 20, 2015
Selfies are definitely the in-thing now and almost
everyone with a portable camera device has been
tempted to indulge in this viral activity. Selfies are
basically self portrait photographs taken mostly
from a handheld digital camera device and shared
mostly on social network. Selfies involve the
camera being held at arms length or pointed at a
mirror to get images of oneself and others.

More so, the advent of social networking site
Instagram and others like Facebook and Twitter
have helped to increase the craze for selfies
coupled with our love for keeping memories. It is
however important to know that there are certain
times you should never be tempted to take selfies.

This is because of the dangers and how offensive it
would be to the people around and the public at
large. Here are some of the most bizarre incidences
of selfies you should never consider taking in
future.

Funerals
Since 2013, the practice of taking a selfie with a
corpse at a funeral made huge waves and was
widely in vogue as there was multiple reports and
it even making a worldwide trend issue on social
networking site, Twitter. A lot of people took to this
somewhat offensive trend which some others
considered made them have a connection with
their dead loved one. However, it seems grossly
inappropriate to do so, not only to the family and
relatives of the dead but also people around.

Suicide
The accompanying picture has been termed the
worst selfie ever taken by anybody. The picture
shows the lady taking a selfie of herself in front of
the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City just as two
officials were making an attempt to convince a man
from committing suicide. Though it is not clear
whether the lady in question knew what was about
to happen and made an attempt to capture the
moment. This however did not deter the New York
Post from giving the event coverage and getting
much needed condemnation against the lady.

Labour
The young man from Florida shown in this picture
(Malick Whiter) took a picture of his pregnant
teacher going into labour. What made it even more
inappropriate was the fact that he took the selfie in
class when there should have been a rush to
ameliorate the pain of the teacher and ensure safe
delivery.

At the hospital
Is it not just weird for you to take a selfie after
being involved in a serious road traffic accident? ,
we think it’s grossly inappropriate to take a picture
of yourself at this point whether you have your
friends and family with you or not as it is better to
rest through the traumatic moment.

n police custody
The possibility of taking a selfie when you’re
arrested by the police is slim as your mobile
devices would have probably been taking from you.
That wasn’t the case for two Australian youths who
took a selfie of themselves in handcuffs. This is a
terribly bad idea and should never be considered
even if your phone or camera is within reach.

Getting hit by a car
The exuberance of youth may make you want to
consider taking a selfie of you jumping over a
moving car which is a bad idea as you may just end
up taking a selfie of a car hitting and running over
you.

Driving a car
Why would you want to take a selfie of you driving
a car when we all know that driving requires your
undivided attention? The idea is totally wrong and
should never be entertained or else it might be
someone else taking a selfie of tour mangled car.

These occasions are just weird. No sane person will take selfies in such occasions. So another story?
