Deep Thoughts About Photo Posing

Rhonda: Ok, first I know that my friends love their selfies. And I wrote this at the risk of pissing them off. Friends..... I am NOT talking about you. You weren't even there. And the selfies don't bug me as long as they are one and done. I know you wouldn't be this rude!


To my unpopular opinion. I do not like waiting around for posing. I do not like it when one person or even worse a group decide that the THING that we ALL came to see is their personal photo backdrop. I do not like to be shoved out of the way so you can make the Eiffel Tower your wallpaper on your phone. I do not like when your tour guide brings a step stool and gathers his tour group into the very spot that is the best view of the THING. For 30 minutes. At that point, yes, I am laughing at you and the monkey that is stealing your backpack you layed down to block my view.


I also don't understand this fascination with having your own photo taken. Or asking me to do it. That is at your own risk. Half the time I purposely cut out your head and the other half I reverse it and take my own photo. You wanted a selfie, right? Oh , you meant YOU!


And one more thing, why oh why do you need a photo of you in front of weird things like the power plant? Example A :


This is just a power plant and she is doing "the pose " in front of the sign. WHY?

Example B: Couldn't even get to the best viewing spot for the posers.

Example C: Ya'll!!!! It just looks stupid! Your legs are not even in that photo.

Unless you are these girls......... don't pose in front of the THING.


Other wise you are getting the side eye.






Me.... stepping off my soapbox.


Love y'all.
