I don't remember what we did before selfie sticks. How did we annoy celebrities? Did we just take photos of celebrities without us in it? Did we have abnormally long arms? Is there an anthropologist in the building?

Hey you, stranger, can you take my picture?

Hey you, stranger, can you take my picture?

It's come down to this, asking strangers to do you a favour. What if they ask one in return? We're fucked.

[–]NerimaJoe [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

God what a fucking nightmare that was. You'd ask somebody to take your picture and then you'd have to walk their dog or some bullshit. Ruined so many holidays.

I was so happy when they banned Selfie Sticks at Disneyland.

That's why you need to check your selfie before your wreck your selfie.

[–]mhende [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

I'm kind of bummed to hear that. It was a nice way to take pictures of my family all together without handing my phone to a stranger. But then again I am an adult with a sense of empathy and spacial awareness so it's not like I would ever whack someone with it.

Why exactly are these ridiculed so often? I'm being 100% serious; not trolling; I don't understand, and would like your opinion.

So if you're taking a selfie with your phone for a group photo and it's not catching everyone in the photo since you're not stretch armstrong, using a practical device to fix the issue is a heinous offense? I don't get it.

[–]canituchurbutt 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

The way I saw it is taking a selfie is already hated and this is an accessory to do the hated thing so it gets super hated on.
I don't mind them myself, I took a few cool shots on my phone when I went for a drive up the mountain with my friends. Haven't used one since though.

[–]phosphorus29 11ポイント12ポイント  (4子コメント)

I think people feel it's for narcissistic teenagers. When really, people took selfies all the time before, you'd just instead ask someone to take the picture of you. I also don't see the big fuss over them.

[–]nowordsleft [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

It's not a selfie if you're not taking it yourself...

[–]Andrewr05 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Or just a picture of yourself, not just that it was taken by yourself.

[–]mhende [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Plenty of people want it for that reason though.

[–]mhende [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Oh man, they have them at 5 below now and I got one. I love that I'm too old to care that they're lame because I love being in pictures with my kids now!

[–]afties [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

just comes across really obnoxiously i find, unless you are a photographer actually trying to get a good shot.

Basically when it's used outside of where it can be deemed appropriate.

[–]efbo 4ポイント5ポイント  (4子コメント)

No because one person hit me with one at Disney once so everyone who uses them deserves to die! /s

[–]RIPKENBEATSHISWIFE 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

They aren't allowed at Disney because people would use them on rides and they'd hit stuff with them. So they'd fall or fly back and hit someone.

Seems like a legit concern.

[–]efbo [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

And I completely understand them being banned from Disney.

There is no denying that they are a piece of useful equipment though. Just because some people might walk around with them extended or use them on rides doesn't mean that everyone who's ever used one should be vilified and that they should be banned everywhere.

[–]RIPKENBEATSHISWIFE [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I agree definitely, I own one and brought it on vacation.

I approve of this message and so should you! I wish nothing but the worst things in the world for selfie stick users and to only happen to them.

[–]HybridCue [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I guess people much prefer to awkwardly scope out strangers passing by and guess which one probably won't run away with their phone or camera, then inconvenience them with taking a photo. Oh but first you have to give them a short tutorial in how to operate the device and if the photo sucks well then you are stuck with it or get to take up more of their time. Yes, the old way is truly the best way.

[–]bros_pm_me_ur_asspix [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

because people are careless with them like drunks and poke others in the fucking face, maybe as a culture we will learn to be nice to each other again and wear monocles but in the meantime this is why we can't have nice things

[–]Ori_553 -5ポイント-4ポイント  (1子コメント)

They are trolled because a selfie represents trashness/hipsterness/wanna-be-alternativeness/sheepness, and selfie sticks represent the radicalization of this concept

[–]Poop_Corn_4_the_Soul 37ポイント38ポイント  (43子コメント)

Can we just ban them in general life now?

[–]CapitanWaffles 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

They are actually useful when utilized correctly. Like when my husband and I travel we would like to get photos with us and the background in it. Sometimes we are out in nature so no one there to ask to take the picture or we are in a place where you can't trust someone won't just bolt with your phone. It's nice.

Could I go out and buy a nice camera and tripod? Sure. Or I could spend $25 and use the camera on my phone.

[–]ChickenInASuit 29ポイント30ポイント  (26子コメント)

Selfie sticks, or Monopods to use the cooler, less annoying term, can be used for some awesome shots and footage when they're used well.

[–]Stamp2 7ポイント8ポイント  (5子コメント)

Or it does makes some shots that would otherwise be impossible.

[–]Drakox -5ポイント-4ポイント  (4子コメント)

Not with some kind of tripods, still that photo and using a tripod is risky and should be avoided, you're putting yourself and others at risk for "a cool photo"

Downvoted for advocating basic road safety, welcome to Reddit.

[–]BrotherChe [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

What's actually so unsafe about that photo?

[–]Andrewr05 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Other than the possibility of dropping the camera (and then causing an accident) what here implies a LACK of basic road safety?

[–]Zationn 47ポイント48ポイント  (12子コメント)

But all the popular kids at school who pick on me use them to take selfies so I HATE THEM!

[–]Naggins 24ポイント25ポイント  (10子コメント)

Same with the pretty girls who don't pay attention to me. Obviously that makes them vain, narcissistic assholes rather than reflecting poorly on my own social skills or attractiveness.

[–]munk_e_man 7ポイント8ポイント  (9子コメント)

I mean... let's not pretend people who take 20 selfies in a sitting are not vain, narcissistic assholes

Heh... You take 50 selfies at a time don't you

[–]Naggins [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Nope. I don't even really understand Snapchat. I just know better than to make ridiculous assumptions about people's character based only on whether they use the forward facing camera on their phone. It's not very nice when people make assumptions about your character based on very little information, is it?

[–]my-names-not-rick- [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

No he doesn't.

[–]Naggins [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Of course he doesn't seem bitter to you, you presumably agree with him. To admit that he seems like a bitter, lonely prick would be to admit that you seem like a bitter, lonely prick.

See, we don't have to judge you're character based on too little information. You're providing plenty for us.

Fair point. I guess I was sarcastically going after the group of juvenile-like idiots I see out and about that take selfies at the most idiotic places and in the dumbest poses.

[–]mhende [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I got one for 5 bucks this summer and used it a few times to take pictures of me and my family. Like this one where I took my girls to the zoo and my husband wasn't able to go.

I didn't find any of the shots with the stick impressive. I don't really care to see the snowboarder as much as the action from his chest.

Why do you care if people use selfie sticks? They aren't hurting anybody...

[–]RequiemEternal [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Reddit has a serious hatred for selfies because apparently people shouldn't enjoy themselves or feel good about how they look.

[–]RadicalDog 8ポイント9ポイント  (2子コメント)

Why?

Oh right, because people with different opinions are wrong

why does this need to be reported? why do people care? its not the least bit interesting, its a plastic piece of junk you strap your phone onto, yet it gets people more vocal and opinionated than like actual news.

[–]4KeySimba 4ポイント5ポイント  (3子コメント)

Maybe being hit by tourists with no spatial awareness is your idea of a good time. Personally I was over them within 3 days of my first summer working for Disney. There's only so many blows you can take from oblivious Brazilians before you hate the device as much as the user. Selfie sticks are the new vuvuzela, at least among those who work in theme park operations.

[–]Frank_Sincatra -2ポイント-1ポイント  (2子コメント)

yeah im sure its not fun for a minority of anal retentives and people who work at tourist attractions but does that make it news-worthy?

[–]4KeySimba 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes. Although as someone else pointed out, it's the venue, not the Emmys themselves, so it's really not that newsworthy.

[–]killerofbatman -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Good. Not entirely related, but I was at Ground Zero recently and I looked around and there were dozens of people with selfie sticks making duckfaces with their friends in front of the memorials, it was fucking horrible. I think they're kinda ridiculous, and I'm hoping more organisations shut them down.

[–]taintraper [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I've never seen someone using one of these things. Maybe people don't use these in Vermont, I'm surprised flatlanders haven't brought them along with their trust funds.

[–]NeonNina [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

This means the Emmys have joined Coachella and other music festivals and events as well as Disney theme parks around the world in banning the accessories because of “safety concerns.”

What, did someone get beaten down by a selfie stick wielder?
