20 Selfie Fails: Either Background Or Photobomb Makes Them Hillarious

No doubt taking selfies is the hottest trend nowadays! It was in1893 when the first selfie was taken by Robert Cornelius. But the Oxford Dictionaries announced their word of the year to be “selfie” in the year 2013 which they define as “a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website.”

Hence, after 2013, selfies became more popular. Since then one doesn't have to rely on somebody else's camera skills to get a good picture. Now, one can do that anytime even without any help. I think that makes selfie popular.

Even one famous proverb by Charles-Guillaume Étienne infers,

"If you want something done right, do it yourself."

And, people took it seriously. Now they love taking their own pictures.

Everyone is filled with this selfish tendency to look at pictures of them alone. And, most of us secretly wish to be popular. Yet they believe nothing can go wrong if they're the one with their own finger on the camera button. Right? Well, not really. That’s not true always!

It is sometimes possible taking a photo of yourself might go in all wrong, turning into a total disaster. And, these pictures below prove that. Doing something for yourself isn't always such a good thing. Oh yes, I am talking about horrible selfie fails.

Either the selfie background or the mirrors which people forgot were there, or folks who didn't check behind them before they clicked their photographs led to these epic selfie fails to the world.

Here are the weird selfies that have been taken as well as posted by people on social media!
