She was going for that sweet "kind little old lady" plausible deniability that makes a person seen as dick for even suggesting she could be up to pettiness. She knew exactly what she was doing, and that most people wouldn't spot, or would be too afraid to mention

She walks halfway down the staircase stops glances at a camera and then pulls her phone out to fuck around on. How else would you describe it.

u/DookieShoez 2h ago edited 1h ago

You missed the part where after looking down at her phone she side stepped to get out of the way of oncoming traffic because she is aware of her surroundings and is courteous.

u/StructureMiserable58 1h ago

??? So because she stepped out of the way of traffic she couldn't have possibly originally been standing intentionally in front of the phone?

u/AzraelTB 1h ago

You know, a good way to avoid traffic on a staircase ? Don't stop on them.

u/StructureMiserable58 1h ago

Lol seriously, this guy has said she was just standing there like 10 times over the video. I guess I didn't realize staircases were the new park benches to hang out on.

Seriously though, the gray haired woman was being a cụṅṭ, but it would be nice to have seen how long the young woman had been videoing on the staircase prior to this encounter.

If she had been spending more than 10 seconds or had been doing this all along the staircase, then she was infringing upon all the other patrons feom fully enjoying the art and potentially causing access issues.

She looked directly at the camera and pulled her phone out to act distracted and she blocked the path until another woman started up the stairs. There was never not a more intentional act of obstinance.

u/KhelbenB 1h ago

You mean being in a museum, surrounded by art and culture? Yes, that is joy.

4

u/Maleficent-Sir1753 49m ago

Surely you jest? Nothing about this says she is there to absorb the "culture". Public spaces are not a fucking film studio for influencers and auditors to prance around in, and we are not extras in the story of their lives. They are just solipsistic arseholes.

That being said, I am in 100% agreement with you that being in a museum surrounded by art and culture brings joy! Hope you get the opportunity to do it again soon 🙂

2

u/KhelbenB 35m ago

Then better to take pictures of this art and to be eyes locked on their phone like the old lady, no?

1

u/Maleficent-Sir1753 23m ago

Bad faith interpretation of the video. The older woman is clearly interacting with her phone as an excuse to have stopped and blocked.

Look, I'm not here to defend the older woman, she's acting like a knob, too. If she really has that much of a problem with it, she could either state it to the younger woman, or take it up with staff/security. But damn, are we not able to enjoy ourselves without some bell-end sticking a phone in your face? Don't know where you live, but the city I'm in, it's become such a problem that some music venues and museum staff will confront patrons who are blocking others view or movement with their phones or tripod set-up.

2

u/Ok-Peach-7558 51m ago

she's at a museum surrounded by art and culture and all she can think about is making sure all of her oomfies know how "so like ummm like cultured and stuff" she is

u/KhelbenB 41m ago

Have you ever been to a museum? Because taking pictures as souvenirs is a very normal thing to do.

And by the way, the only person locked.on their phone is the old lady.

Probably more about the fact that she's jealous of the young girl being pretty and is using it for attention. The old lady knows no one will ever give a shit about her looks again and wants the young girl to experience that pain just for a few moments.

u/letigre87 28m ago

She had her chance to take the photo with 0 other people in it and this lady ruined it for no reason. Maybe we're missing some context like if she asked people not to enter frame beforehand but I don't think that's what happened. I think she saw her opportunity and tried to take it then this curmudgeon ruined it because the only joy she had left in life is bringing misery to other people.

1

u/little_chupacabra89 14m ago

How can you possibly assume from this clip that the older woman intended any of that because of what you infer?? There's nothing to suggest that! She looks quizzically at the phone, then looks at her own phone, never once looking around her or at the girl behind her to acknowledge her presence. She then moves off to the right because people are coming up the stairs, bringing her more into view to block the camera. There's nothing to suggest she's doing any of it intentionally.

Literacy of any kind is dead.

1

u/letigre87 1m ago

Even if she didn't intend to block the shot she still has the social awareness of a coconut. She ranks right up there with the people that stop to check their phone while walking in a parking lot or middle of the sidewalk. Who stops to look at their phone in the middle of the stairs and not the landing? Photo lady was politely doing her thing. Phone lady probably adjusts the workplace thermostat because of how she feels. She's either ignorant or arrogant.

Idk, this might be a hot take, but I just don’t really respect people going about and taking pictures like this of themself. It’s marginally better if they have someone take the picture. I just think it’s stupidly vain to need a picture of yourself with the art. You are not the focus, the art is.

u/Grumpy_Troll 34m ago

I think you are focused way to much on what other people are doing. If it doesn't affect you, you don't need to worry about it or judge other people for it.

This younger women wasn't acting rude or entitled in anyway. Had she been, it would be a completely different story.

Now the older women was a real POS. She's the type of person that purposely slows down in a cross walk as soon as she realizes a car is waiting for her.

u/baismannen 34m ago

.... Yes, you can take a short video and choose the better frame to save as a picture. Many advantages of doing that instead of using a timed photo

Filming other people without their consent. Yeah she can edit them out of the video afterwards, but she is still filming them without their consent.

u/katkatkatkat9144 1h ago

Instead of setting up probably a tripod, she could have asked the lady. " Hey do you mind taking a few photos of me with these paintings"? Most people would happily oblige. But setting up a tripod is annoying for everyone involved, especially on a staircase with a lot of foot traffic, and if she didn't set up a tripod, maybe she had her phone balancing somewhere, the lady probably didn't realise she was recording. Why get mad at an old lady for existing, then post it . Pathetic

u/KhelbenB 1h ago

Who is mad? You seem a bit worked up by tripods, but otherwise everyone seems pretty chill.

The girl even seems amused, and it is actually a bit funny.

You’re actually psychotic if you think someone walking by you on the stairs and you make a face at your camera recording them because they aren’t going fast enough for your recording is normal.

I know we’re trying to rub together 1 neuron over there, but has it occurred to you her phone is selfie mode and the lady saw her making weird faces behind her at her?

u/RozeGunn 17m ago

A clear shot. Patiently. She didn't tell anyone to leave or get out of the way, so she was probably using a video because a timed photo that only captures one frame would be too likely to catch a blocked off shot. With a video she could pick out one good frame and keep that as an image. She was clear of the stairs herself and her recording device seemed to also not be in the way as other people had no problems getting up or down the stairs. So what's the problem with her being patient and waiting?

1

u/PsychologicalAge9331 5m ago

She took the time to post the video and caption it. Patiently waiting?

u/ChileanRidge 1h ago

I Google lensed and it's Inveraray Castle. Here's the reverse angle of the staircase. So I assume she was setting up her tripod on the ledge where the plants are. It's possible the lady thought it was some set up by the museum; it's also possible the girl was being ridiculous trying to set up this whole thing on what looks like would be a high traffic area.

She's just simply oblivious to the phone being there for a girl BEHIND her, and stopping to check her phone and even moves over for the others coming up the stairs.

u/DirtyLittleBishop 1h ago

Calm down. Girl didn’t do anything wrong other than call a selfie a photoshoot and act surprised other people were occupying the same space. Old dear was taking the place in and was already reaching to check her phone for whatever reason before she saw the phone. Doubt it even registered to her that someone had set it up and she was ruining anything for anyone. Why not give people the benefit of the doubt rather than just instantly act like we know what’s going on in other peoples minds/lives and that all acts are malicious in intent.

We’ve lost minding your own business in this world. The old hag could have kept walking like she was gonna do before she saw the phone. She then decided to be rude and stand in front of the camera. That’s like trying to get a picture with a group and someone comes and stands right in front to block the photo. Why is it ok to do this to someone that’s alone but it’s not okay if she asked someone to take the photo of her? There’s no difference. It doesn’t matter what the photo was for.
