How did it begin?

Me and my mate run the page from Sydney, Australia. We had the idea for ages before actually making the page, but we didn’t think people would find it as funny as we did. But one day we just thought let’s give it a go and see what happens .

Did you guys expect it to go viral?

We thought it would get a few followers but never thought it would take of like this.

How crazy are people about taking selfies? Do you think the selfie obsession has gone too far?

100% it’s crazy how people just don’t give a s*** when it comes getting a good picture for the gram.

What’s the craziest thing you have seen a couple do to capture a selfie?

There’s many to pick from. However, we try and only post the best of the best on our page.

Is it just guys who go all out?

We are not to sure. We do have some of the girls taking photos of boys but as of yet, they haven’t been quite as extreme.
