<p>Selfies are big, big enough to be added to the dictionary. We do some of us post them often and why do some people find them so annoying?</p>
<p>Selfies are a bit narcissistic, so I should think they would appeal to those with that bent and repel those without it.</p>
<p>And most look the same, lots of peace signs and duck lips on the young. The photos just aren’t interesting. But whatevs …</p>
<p>I think there should be an age limit for selfies.</p>
<p>I will never be able to unsee the Geraldo selfie.</p>
<p>People who take and post 15 millions selfies a day need to understand that no one, not ever their mother or lover, wants to see their face that much.</p>
<p>These selfies may just change your mind. I think they’re inspired.

<p>I wish I could post pictures here. I have some selfies (not mine) from Instagram and FB that are truly something to behold!</p>
<p>I am friends on FB with one of my 25 yr old D’s friends (she friended me). She CONSTANTLY posts selfies. She looks like she’s trying SO hard- I feel so embarrassed for her!!! She posted me tonight - and they are always SO close up !!! Another mom I know posts selfies several times a week showing herself at random places having “the time of her life” with her kids. It’s fine every once in awhile, but they are so cant it feels like self-bragging ( but to me, self-GAGGING!!!). :)</p>
<p>Warren Buffet has a selfie as Breaking Bad’s Walter White. He’s 83 yrs. old. It was quite funny.</p>
<p>According to the article:
I don’t think it really counts if it is taken by someone else or if there is someone else in the picture.</p>
<p>The worst one I saw was a 50 year old woman took a picture of herself showing off her 6 packs (stomach, not beer). It was very admirable, but I really didn’t need to see her stomach, especially now it is her profile picture.</p>
<p>@oldfort Of course not. Then it’s not a selfie! </p>
<p>A fitting occurrence happened one day when me and my friends were hanging about campus. We were taking these obviously obnoxious selfies. A guy comes up to me and asks if he needed me to take the picture. I said, “No, then I won’t be able to write #selfie.”</p>

I will never be able to unsee the Geraldo selfie.*

<p>Now, now. My current profile FB picture is a ‘selfie’ taken on a college road trip this summer of S3 & I. He was sitting in those wonderful adarondaik chairs at Lehigh in the late afternoon sun and there literally was no one around to take a picture of the two of us. I got behind him, handed him my dslr (because at 6"1’ his arms reach further), and smiled. He must have hit the shutter a dozen times and changed his expression each time. I didn’t get the memo. He doesn’t use FB much and is a pretty laid back kid so I had fun posting one with a huge silly grin on his face.</p>
<p>That’s my experience with selfies, I make no apologies. It’s one of my favorite pictures and will always remind me of that trip far more then S3 posed in front of various landmarks.</p>
<p>I like the Abe Lincoln one:</p>

<p>Hilarious stuff! I’d never have seen any of these if not for you, somemom…thanks! </p>
<p>blueiguana, love your story…very cute…and far from annoying. (-:</p>
<p>Kinda OT but amusing – my D didn’t know what a photo bomb was so when someone yelled “photo bomb!” she stood in the background pretending to be throwing a bomb. Pic is awkward and hilarious.</p>
<p>OMG. Just opened the memorable selfies link and saw geraldo (aka Jerry Rivers). UGH. Oh, my eyes! My eyes!</p>
<p>If I’m standing in front of the big bean in Millennium Park, Chicago, I want a picture of me not just of it … so …</p>
