"6 Very Stupid Things That People Do In Pictures"

1. The Duck Face

This I'm not sure of. Out of all silly faces to make when taking a photo of yourself, why this? And to any of you fortunate to have not encountered the Duck Face, it's where you push your lips out and bug out your eyes like a duck. A choking duck, about to spew out the frog it accidentally swallowed.

2. Peace!

Doing the peace sign for no particular reason, most commonly while pushing out your lips in similar fashion to the Duck Face and leaning toward the camera.

3. "Oops, My Eyes Are Up Here"

First, extend the arm with the camera above your head and look up toward it, usually cocking your head in such a quirky way (see: Sky High). In this variation, most likely wearing something revealing with the camera very strategically aimed. Oops. A lot of the times, the camera holder is smiling hugely and perversely, but sometimes affects look of shock that clearly reads "you're not supposed to see this, but my hand hit the shutter button and posted this pic itself".

4. Sky High

Very similar to the Oops, My Eyes Are Up Here. Hold the camera up, smile, quirk head. Also known as the Myspace Pose.

5. Ye-auh, I So Random, PICKLE!

You'll probably need the following items:
- a funny hat
- a crazy friend
- something weird to hold up to the camera
- someone to take the picture for you

Most commonly occurs when someone is trying to make a picture seem spontaneous. You and your friend will wear funny hats, hold up something like your favorite Pikachu doll, make stupid faces (cross your eyes too much and eventually they won't uncross...), and have another friend take the picture for you.

6. Glamor Shot

In this one, you should probably just sit there in front of the camera, turn your head toward your shoulder, and pucker your lips, but not so much as you would in the Duck Face. Apparently, people who do this believe it to be seductive. Desperate when done by girls, very disturbing when done by guys.
