Distance from eye to reflective surface unspecified. Capacity to blink twice in the time taken for light to traverse that distance in the relevant frame of reference is unknown.
Your reflection has never blinked at the same time as you.

Why would I care what a stupid photon thinks? What has electromagnetism ever done for me? Nobody even knows what an electromagnet is!
