Selling an item online that you no longer find a use for might seem like a mundane part of life, but that’s not particularly true when it comes to mirrors. It turns out that taking a picture of a reflective object without capturing a funny reflection is nearly impossible. 

As a result, many hilarious pictures of people trying to sell their mirrors keep popping up online. Some have even given up on figuring out how to get out of the way and decided to embrace it, making the process of buying and selling that much more enjoyable for everyone. We’ve collected a list of some of the best (un)intentional accidents, all you have to do to find them is scroll down!

While you’re at it, don’t forget to check out a conversation with commercial photographer Ken Lamb, who kindly agreed to provide us with some pointers for photographing mirrors or any reflective objects, for that matter.
