never taken a selfie, never will.

When I was in Bangkok, they all had them. Asian people over there love a good selfie. Men included :-/
What I don't get is why people feel the need to take photos of everything. How often do you actually look at them?
What happened to actually enjoying the moment and saving a memory,instead of seeing the world through a lens?
Selfies are just obnoxious and there is no acceptable time to take one.
