Selfie Stick user, stick it up yourself!

That is flat-out untrue.

Currently your opinion can be broken down to the statement, “I think someone who get in the way of others while taking pictures of themselves is selfish.”

In the post I linked, your opinion could be broken down to, “I think someone is selfish because I saw them taking a picture of themselves.”

“I think someone who get in the way of others while taking pictures of themselves is selfish” is a different statement than “I think someone is selfish because I saw them taking a picture of themselves”.

In this thread: many humour impaired people.

Reading comprehension standards have really dropped round here haven’t they?

No, like I said previously I’ll take a picture of them, the bit about taking a bad one on purpose, and the group sex, and the genitals was…for want of a better word…an exaggeration.

I prefer my jokes to be funny.

Yes but even if you don’t think they are funny, you don’t need to be Champion the Wonder Horse to realise that they are attempts at humour.

The opposite of “funny joke” is not “factual statement”

Two guys walk into a bar.

The first guy asks, “So when you see someone take a picture of themselves, you automatically assume that they’re doing it for selfish reasons?”

The second guy replies, “yes”

Is this something completely new? I was in London in September, including a few hours at the Tower of London and I can’t say that I noticed even one of these selfie sticks.
I always take at least some photos of people I’m with. And I’m very glad I got into that habit before my mother died. It’s nice to have those pictures.
That said - I had a friend who started with selfies long before Facebook. I remember he returned from vacation with almost a hundred pictures (on 35mm film) of his own big nose in front of some blurry scenery. It was not particularly interesting.

“could be broken down to?” This is just a saga now. Don’t worry about the myriad ways in which my statement can be taken, let me clarify.

Your first statement? Yes, that is my opinion.

Your second statement? No that is not my opinion.

That is how you should take the words I have written.

Yeah, I think I see where the problem is. That part wasn’t really humourous at all, that really was the factual part.

The other stuff with the thieving children, group sex, camera stealing, genitals etc. That was the light-hearted banter.

Would an instructional powerpoint slide-deck help at all? Or perhaps a large wink at the opportune moment?

I think it is a very new strain of dickishness. I was there in July…nothing, Back in November and a veritable plethora.

You know what the next step is, after selfie sticks? Selfie drones. Miniature, pocket-sized helicopters that flit around your head and constantly stream pictures of your face.

I give it ten years, top.

Alright, so, your last two posts to me have contained your response to my claim that your opinion is that someone is selfish because they take a selfie.

In one, you write:

And in the other, you write:

You’re not being very concise here.

Yeah, but with all the OP’s other problem, going after him for not being funny seems too easy.

I would think the most difficult part is manufacturing dones, and that’s been done already.

I bet I could cobble together a decent one for under $500. I’m sure someone who knows what they’re doing could get one done and into Best Buy at a few hundred bucks.

Sure looks like some of you are about to have dueling selfie sticks at twenty paces.

Anyone got a camera so we can record this?

Won’t take that long, there’s already a kickstarter for this.
I’m off on a skiing trip today and I’m betting that this year (especially after Christmas day) I’ll be seeing camera drones on the slopes. They are getting cheaper and better all the time.

What is confusing you? What part of “no that is not my opinion” are you struggling with? Since when is a 6 word response not concise?

To be fair, the only problem I have is an irritation with inconsiderate people.

I used to work in an office building in Times Square.

I wonder how many tourist selfies I’m in the background of, looking annoyed. Probably millions.

You’d think that, when all of your comments defending yourself consist of you saying “you aren’t understanding me,” you’d realize that you fucking communicated badly.

When I read the OP, I see a selfish prick, and it’s not the people using selfie sticks. Most people could agree that selfie sticks being used without paying attention to other people were bad. But you had to be a female genital about it.

Yeah, I almost used it. But you aren’t worth it.
