This man’s accidental selfie has the world in stitches

Come on! We must have all done it at some point in time? But this pic is a winner.

An overseas couple were taking a long romantic walk and decided to take a photo to document the occasion.

It was at that point that an elderly man stopped and offered to take the pic for them, but it seems he'd never used an iPhone before. 

He had the front facing camera on and as he kept saying "I'm not sure if this thing is working" it actually was but it was snapping away at his confused face.

If you look at the picture carefully, you can see the smiling couple in the reflection of the elderly man's sunglasses, but this elderly man's face is a treat.

This story reminds me so much of my late dad. 

Not too clued up on phones and the latest technology that they came with, one day while trying to show him how to delete old SMS messages, I happened to see a picture saved on his phone as his screenshot.

A pot on a stove! 

When I asked him about it he said he'd had now clue how the picture had got there but it had mysteriously appeared there the day before.

It was only that night when he offered me some stew that he'd made, that we put two and two together. 

He had somehow snapped a pic of the stew cooking on his stove and had saved it as his screenshot.

Have you ever had your funny moment with technology?
