Dark indeed.

Apart from that, people taking selfies don't hurt me, unless they block my photographing. Then I might well say something like: "if you get into the frame once more with your phone, I will push that selfie stick up your arse so far you will be taking shots of your tonsils". Not that it makes me grumpy, not at all.

But you're right, there's something very ominous about this selfie culture. My motto still is: Always photograph *away* from you. That is where your interest should lie.
