Ah, the age of the selfie. We can get behind bedroom selfies and bathroom selfies (and will even admit to taking a few of our own), but there is a time and a place for that front-facing camera ... and more than a few people who don't seem to understand that.

If you're wondering where THE most inappropriate place to take a selfie is, well ... we have some options for you to consider. These people might be lookin' great, but they also don't realize that sometimes, it's okay to keep that stuff to yourself. Prepared to cringe? Then you can proceed.

Pro-tip on being a decent human being: Don't take a selfie in an Auschwitz gas chamber where millions of people died. Also, tagging it "#respect" doesn't make it respectful.

One guy took a selfie while he was being chased by a bull, and he got trampled because of it. Don't worry, though -- he's okay now, and he got a pretty good photo out of it. Still, not recommended for viewers at home.

Yep, #funeralselfie is a pretty depressing hashtag that exists on Instagram. Apparently, this girl's brother "refused to take a #funeralselfie" with me," and we gotta say, he seems like the more reasonable sibling in this family.

Also, P.S., remember when Obama took a selfie at Nelson Mandela's memorial? Good times.
