Selfie stick defense courses are now a thing apparently

It was me.

People get super dumb and unobservant when they’re using selfie sticks, making them easy marks for robbers and pickpockets. To combat this serious issue that I first learned about like five minutes ago, a sports center in Moscow now offers “mpd fight”—or, “monopod fight”—training, Atlas Obscura reports.

Love using selfie sticks but can’t make it to Moscow? I’ve got a way cheaper selfie stick defense lifehack: Just coat yourself and all your clothing in poison.

Bad at filling out bios seeks same.
