Selfies

While I was at the gym tonight, I witnessed something that I hope to never see again. A group of young, adolescent girls were on the elliptical machines talking, laughing & "working out". When that got too boring for them, one of the girls whipped out her cell phone and began taking pictures of herself and her friends "working out". I say "working out" in quotes because I don't think any of them produced one bead of sweat. This was, clearly, all for show.
This got me thinking about people who take pictures of themselves...not themselves in a group of friends, but pictures of themselves - alone. I don't know what's worse - the selfie photo in the bathroom mirror or the selfie photo in the driver's seat of the car.
Do these people not have friends that can take a picture of them doing something other than making the infamous duck face? You know the one I'm talking about.
I am sorry if I'm offending any of my friends but, c'mon! If we're friends, I'll gladly be in a picture with you...or, at least, take one of you for your Match.com profile. That's what friends do.
