Selfie mirrors have long been the concept that has taken over social media. It is the easiest way to take a selfie. You don't need to turn the phone to try to estimate the framing, we already see your picture you'll take. It's surprisingly easy to focus on just your own appearance when taking a selfie. Selfie accidents happen more often than we think.

One advice to always keep in mind: don't forget to meticulously scan every detail of the background before you post it! Especially if you have a joker boyfriend in the same room. Shannon Butt learned it the hard way when she happily posted a bathroom mirror selfie online. Her followers were quick to notice the cheeky bum in the background.
So I was taking selfies in my boyfriend's bathroom and he comes in and I told him that I'm taking pictures. He literally didn't care at all and carried on and went to the toilet, so I just continued taking pictures not really paying attention. I left them on my phone for a few days and then looked back and thought 'I'll upload that it's actually quite nice'. I obviously didn't realise he was in the mirror and left it up on Instagram for about 40 minutes.
Shannon deleted the post an hour later, but once she posted the first time it was already too late. The Internet had already taken possession of the snap, therefore, Shannon decided that she would be just another meme among many, and she re-uploaded the snap on Twitter and be the joker rather than the joke.
Poor Shannon posted the picture on Twitter with the following caption:
As if I had this photo up on my insta for 37 minutes before noticing that my boyfriend is literally WIPING HIS ARSE in the mirror behind me, sound asf x
Not sure she learned her lesson...
