People trying to sell mirrors accidentally take the best selfies
Taking pictures in front of mirrors in this day and age of selfies is nothing new. But is there a way to take a picture of just the mirror?
There's not really a neat way to take a picture of a mirror without awkwardly capturing your reflection or using an extreme angle. But, as pointed out by @SilviuMajor on Twitter, when the object of your photograph is actually the mirror itself—like in a sales posting on craigslist—the results can be a bit awkward and a bit hilarious.

Now, some people opt to minimize their involvement in the picture, as seen by the shots that only bear corners of phones and just the heads of their owners. Others have no shame.

Believe it or not, this isn't the first time the odd photos of people selling mirrors have been featured on social media.
In fact, aptly titled Instagram account, craigslist_mirrors, has been sharing photos of mirrors for sale since 2014.
These mirrors are definitely the kinda thing to bring a smile to your face and maybe even allow you to... reflect.
