I laughed at the hapless gondola passengers, but I\u2019m also in awe of them pursuing their vanity so publicly<\/p>\n

I mean, I\u2019ll just come out and say it: it\u2019s pretty tempting to laugh out loud at the tourists who fell off their gondola<\/a> into the canal in Venice last week because they just wouldn\u2019t stop taking selfies. Their gondolier had apparently asked them to sit down and quit all that dangerous posing, but they didn\u2019t listen and toppled right in, overturning the boat and throwing him into the tentacles of the lagoon, too. The poor man then had to try to get his very upset customers out of the big sink \u2013 there\u2019s a video of this online \u2013 and, well, let\u2019s just say he\u2019s a nobler man than I am, still trying to help them by this soaking point.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s tempting indeed to laugh but, oh, I can\u2019t, because my secret hobby is taking ridiculous selfies, too. Only I do it when nobody is looking, so they can\u2019t judge me. Don\u2019t you?

The reason I take so many is because none of them ever turn out the way I think they will, or because someone else has had the audacity to get into the lift and ruin my private moment with my phone.<\/p>\n
