Selfie sticks can be pretty embarrassing when using them in public, especially if you have short arms.
Even more embarrassing? Not having a selfie stick. Anyone remember this?

Well one young man in Japan named Mansun has aimed to take this decidedly first world problem head on by using a bit of grit, determination and a whole lot of imagination.
Mansun’s invention of the “selfie arms” is a simple invention by attaching two selfie sticks to plastic hands and covering them with a long sleeve shirt modified to fit the length of the arms.

His extra-long arms even help him get a better angle at tall structures. What a clever yet silly invention.
