Self-service at gas stations was unusual. Most stations had attendants who would as a routine check your tires and oil while pumping your gas (which was 20 cents a gallon at that time)0

Selfies are still something Iβd find embarrassing to mention in public. As well as taking pictures of my food. People around me would tease me endlessly for that stuff. π0 -

My friends shocked me a couple of years ago saying their social media selfies were chosen from literally hundreds of selfies they took of themselves. I fully admit to sharing selfies occasionally but I take 1-2, MAXIMUM of 3 pics and then choose the "best" of 2-3 I guess? Not dozens or more... It seriously blew my MIND thinking of these average thirty and forty-something women sitting there taking 100 photos of themselves. I can't imagine it.0 -

Thatβs hilarious. I can see a couple different ones, but why a hundred? Can people really look that different in the hundred selfies? It seems too time consuming to me. Now every time I see a selfie, Iβm gonna wonder how many takes it took. π1 -
