You have to be the most non-adjusted, socially unaware and awkward person ever if you don't realize why people like taking pictures when they're having a good time.
To remember those good times sure, but why do they feel the need to show the world those pictures?
I wouldn't have a problem with those people taking pictures of themselves if they didn't had to show them to everybody.
My problem is more with people posting photos of themselves doing the most mundanes of things or being at the most mundane of places than people simply taking then. Unless as banananor said they interrupt **** to take pictures.
