Okay, you found someone in the most embarrassing position. It seems pretty strange for the person. You try to think of a way to handle the matter but having trouble coming up with a situation of some kind. Finally, the person tells you "take a picture, it'll last longer" before leaving off. |

A common |
A common [[Stock Phrase]] whereby the pure chance someone finds themselves in an uncomfortable matter. It could be they were found doing something they shouldn't, wearing something out of the conventional means, or any other awkward matter. This would often end with one or few results: a person does take that picture or not, they may walk away... pretending they never saw it, or nothing at all. This trope often leads to some of the most awkward matters where such a picture can be used in the future or not. Considering the increasing amount of devices used to take photographs, it could result in such a picture or even a video in some cases. |
