Nonetheless, every so often a selfie can capture a spontaneous moment, whether the photo was intentional or merely a victim of precise timing. That’s when things get interesting. Here are 10 selfies that went awry the moment the shutter opened.
#1: Cat selfie — Felines may be a tad cliche in 2014, but few have eyes that scream “murder” quite like this one.
#2: Another cat selfie — Somehow all family portraits devolve into this.
#3: Funeral selfie — Sad, but true. Check out the subtle photobomb.
#4: Stolen dress selfie — Needless to say, the cops arrived shortly after.
#5: Running of the bulls selfie — How do you say “selfie” in Spanish?
#6: Intentional selfie on fire — Is this really what it takes to go viral? Seems like a fire hazard to us.
#7: Bad-guy selfie — This is what pre-gaming looks like in the 21st century, regardless if you have plans to meet at the closest bar or rob a convenience store.
#8: Camel selfie — She never saw it coming. That’s why we’ve seen it everywhere.
#9: Hot dog-leg selfie — Human thighs or dual hot dogs? You decide.
#10: Contractions selfie — This guy might be in the running for the most obnoxious student ever, given his teacher is having contractions. Still, you gotta give him credit.
