So on Christmas I made sure to take a pic with the the nieces and one nephew that were there.
And the nephew tried to hold up his pointer and middle fingers in the V peace sign behind his sister’s head, giving her the “bunny ears.”
Once I noticed, I insisted that we take another picture, this time “stop, do it normal.” Ok, he’s 11, so he gets a pass… this time.
The “bunny ears” are a photobomb.
I’m not going to say I’m completely innocent and have never bunny eared or photobombed, but now I realize that DAMN it’s annoying. It’s like a little “hey, I’m going to ruin your moment because I’m so cool. Look at ME!”
But pictures are people ways of capturing time, and normally I want my time captured with the cast and poses that I intend. I don’t like my time ruined by idiocy. And if it’s by strangers that brings them to asshole status.
So ok, lesson learned. I, GratuitousRex, pledge to never bunny-ear or photobomb anyone ever again.
Anyone care to pledge with me?
Good Luck with that. My 40-something year old brothers still do this on the rare occasions when we get together. It’s funny…for about 2 pics…then…just plain annoying. Still enjoy our sibling reunions, though, they don’t happen enough.

Totally agreed- super annoying! My favorite photobombs are either accidental or when someone is actually doing something hilarious in the background. I never found bunny ears funny- man, I feel like I have a heart of stone :p

Growing up one of my aunts was the family photographer since this wasn’t age when everyone had or used a camera. She had quite the growl when we screwed around in her pictures. And the occasional curse word. She would scare us into acting straight. When I look back on it i think that we did not capture a moment in time but her moment in time. She would capture the image she wanted… And then we were free to go back to being kids. So I wonder. .. Do those pictures reflect an accurate portrayal of what happened? Nope. They reflect an image if kids scared into “smiling” for the camera.

Bunny ears= not funny. But i think photo bombs can be pretty funny. But when it’s from a distance and actually funny and random. Loser drunk guys posing with you… Never funny. 🙂

Unintentional is fine, since it’s unintentional. Don’t I’m taking a picture for a reason

I hate the bunny ears but they are better than the Italian “corna” horns 🙂
