Ah selfies, we seem to have a love-relationship with them<\/strong>. One moment they are declared to be a sign of mental disorder<\/a> and the next they are deemed to be an expression of loving oneself<\/a>. Regardless of which camp you are in, selfies are here to stay for the long run.<\/p>\n

Now before you selfie practioners go off to take another selfie (to the resignation of the rest of us), you need to know that not all selfies are tolerated. Obviously there are some that are hazardous, please don\u2019t even think about them. Then there are these 8 selfies that I believe should be retired from our social media feeds<\/strong>. Forever.<\/p>\n

1. Toilet Selfies<\/h2>\n

Of all places to take a selfie, why are you photographing your perfect face in the loo? I mean, I\u2019m sure there are nicer places to take your selfie at home<\/strong> like the garden or the kitchen. Even your wall would make for a better background.<\/p>\n

And why are taking a selfie of yourself while making a dump? Why are you doing this?? This is just nasty<\/strong>. Please keep your business behind closed doors and off social media, good grief.<\/p>\n

2. Duckface Selfies<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re reaching the end of 2014, why is this still a thing? No, you do not look pretty. If anything, it is absolutely unflattering and incredibly ridiculous<\/strong>. A simple smile would do and you look so much better and attractive and not annoying.<\/p>\n

3. Crying Selfies<\/h2>\n

Um, are you okay? Do you need to have some ice cream? Maybe you should get off the Internet for a while you know, so you can pull yourself together<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I still do not know what is the purpose of posting a photo of yourself crying but you should definitely consider taking a break from selfies to down a tub of ice cream. Or doing whatever it is to make yourself happy.<\/p>\n

4. Sleeping Selfies<\/h2>\n

Hey, do you know that no one is buying it? We all know that you just decided to lie on the bed, angle your phone strategically<\/strong>, close your eyes, and press the shutter.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s that you say? Your finger just happened<\/em> to click on the shutter at such an opportune time? Your bae caught you sleeping? Such impress.<\/p>\n
