I’ve done it and I’m done doing it.<\/p>\n

\"Duck<\/a>I have complained about selfies<\/a> in the past.<\/p>\n

Mostly because women who do them make duck lips and guys throw gang symbols with the hands.<\/p>\n

We were out having lunch with my niece and her husband who were ending one of their frequent trips back to the islands.<\/p>\n

Love those folks.<\/p>\n

The wife, who constantly embarrasses me by asking waiters to take our picture, was doing it again.<\/p>\n

The waitress (alright, lady server) tried but obviously pointing a camera and pressing a button was not in her skill set.<\/p>\n

Take two.<\/p>\n

I said gimme the camera and I’ll take it.<\/p>\n

We needed to get this over so I could get back to eating.<\/p>\n

I took so much from the salad bar I was worried they’d come to my table and take it back.
\nThe best part of Ruby Tuesday.<\/p>\n

First I pointed it away from us and I’m sure I got a wonderful shot of the restaurant wall.<\/p>\n

Looking good.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, press the button to use the front camera.<\/p>\n

I knew that because it seems the entire restaurant was yelling that to me.<\/p>\n

\"selfie\"<\/a>Mission accomplished.<\/p>\n

She goes and posts it on her Facebook page and then tags my name with it.<\/p>\n

Yeow.<\/p>\n

We’re no longer taking to each other.<\/p>\n

And no more dopey selfies.<\/p>\n

Damn things make me grumpy.<\/p>\n
