Rookie mistake

By no selfie for me - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States - Pasadena

Today, I was at the park unsuccessfully trying to take a selfie. A stranger walked up to me and offered to take the picture for me. I agreed and gave him my phone. He took it and ran off. FML

And that's why you can't trust everyone you meet.

It's a shame really because most people are completely trustworthy, it's just a minority that alter the whole dynamic of our society.

It a horrible to hear when someone abuses the generic public trust most people have in this world. It makes me feel as if the world is falling apart.

Don't forget about the whole "Apple picking" thing where people run by and steal iPhones right out of people's hands... Society can be so messed up these days.

@118 - I can trust a number of people. Not everyone is an asshole.

I guess it could be seen as YDI but honestly, who hasn't asked strangers to take a group/single picture? It is seen as a normal thing in our society but open to abuse :/

#76 group pictures are different, the point of a selfie is to take it yourself

I think it is. How hilarious would it be to hear someone stole your friend's phone and after they freaked out they found it full of new pictures? I'd laugh.
