00:00I hand a stranger my phone, asking for a favor.
00:04If they can agree to this task, it will be a lifesaver.
00:08Can you take a good photo of us?
00:10I say nice and clear, but somehow that message never reaches their ear.
00:15We stood there for a minute, striking pose after pose,
00:19convinced they were snapping from our head to our toes.
00:22Then I check my camera roll, and my heart sinks with dread.
00:25They took one single photo, and it's just of our heads.
00:32Why does everyone feel the need to zoom in so close?
00:37Let's get some background, not the boogers up my nose.
00:41Taking a picture in front of the Eiffel Tower really was a treat,
00:46yet all you really captured was the grass beneath my feet.
00:49I traveled to Mount Rushmore to see the noble men in stone.
00:53They must have only carved in two, since that's all that's on my phone.
00:58Now I've learned my lesson, and I refuse to be misled.
01:02Next time, I'll have control and just take a selfie instead.
01:06Yes!
