We’re pretty sure that everyone who has access to a camera has taken a selfie at some point. There’s nothing wrong with a little self-indulgent vanity when it comes to pictures, but what we will say is that people need to be a little bit careful about what’s in the background. We’ve noted a lot of selfies over the years that contain unexpected extras, so you need to double-check any photos before you make them public, especially when there’s a reflective surface added into the mix! Check out these twelve selfies containing surprises that were never meant to be captured!
Take a selfie in the men’s room, capture a stranger’s butt. Standard.

Again with the bathroom selfie issues. Really try to make sure nobody’s sitting on the throne in the background.

If you’re trying to pretend your selfie isn’t really a selfie but rather a picture a loved-one took after catching you unawares, make sure the truth isn’t revealed in the mirror behind you!
