To be surprised by the number of people who only seem to care about taking pictures of themselves?

I’m in Rome and spent the day walking around all of the various tourist sites. Everywhere, even in the Vatican city, people only care about taking selfies. Not looking at the information around them. Not taking pictures of the actual sights and historical monuments. Just pouting selfies and videos of them walking. It’s doing my head in!

Depressing isn’t it? I found the same in Paris today

Especially at the Vatican. I’m going in tomorrow and can imagine it’ll be more of the same. Just vapid self obsessed posers with no respect for history!

Yes. It's awful. Even worse than people having their phones out constantly is the fact they're pointing it at themselves for social media.
