We live in an age where selfies are a part of everyday life and posing for group photos is a given in every social situation. So you’re sure to find yourself in a lot more pictures than you would have even 10 or 20 years ago. Even though it’s easier to delete a bad photo than it’s ever been, it’s also easier to post it to social media for all of your friends, family, and random strangers to see. This means that it’s a lot easier to look like a total fool. And the internet never forgets.
Lucky for you, we’re here to help. We don’t want you to look like a complete dork to that girl you have a crush on in your anthropology class. No, we want you to look as cool as possible even when the paparazzi (aka your friends) catches you off guard. That’s why we’ve put together a list of things you should never do when getting your photo taken. That is, unless you really enjoy regret and looking like a total idiot. Check them all out below.
