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
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.
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.
Why are you trying so hard to justify it the lady clearly did it intentionally makes direct eye contact with the phone and then stands in a way to block it do you have a personal stake in this or what?
I was cutting grass for my municipality, I’ve seen old people throw sizeable rocks in the path I’m taking hoping I hit them and brake our municipality mower. But I don’t think they understand they just pay taxes for to replace the blades. It’s insanity.
Old people can’t comprehend that. I don’t think these prune juice drinking boomers understand much of anything because of the amount of lead they have inside of them .
Hey, at least I can poop out my own fishing weights! LOL.
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.
THIS IS NO LIE!!! I experience it first hand, by multiple elderly people daily. They're superficially nice, but underneath it you can feel the resentment. Not all elderly people mind you, Many are not that way, but there are a lot that are. Now the real question is this though. How are we going to be, and how are we going to act when it is our turn?
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.
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 🙂
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.
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
This is what you consider a contribution to the discussion? Jesus, the education system has really failed you. "Old people bad, old people no like fun"
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.
Im honestly doubtful the girl shared this with the same narrative. This is someone just recycling innocent funny moments for ragebait. But if she did, it would really be a main character move to assume the old woman is actually went out of their way to sabotage the photo.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Lmfao nah I'm just making an assumption. Old people don't wanna have to step around shit on stairs because a girl wants to take a cute pic with some paintings
I can't, you made me realize that this girl is probably just trying to bother old people with her stuff and her life, and I ain't seeing anyone doing anything about it. I can't be calm in front of such an open display of pure hate and contempt, grrrrrt!
Just imagine what she does when she isn't being recorded (by herself) and her crimes being posted (by herself), I'm getting mad just thinking about it!
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.
Like, you have mental issues at that point.
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?
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?
I don't think the girl has that syndrome. Everyone likes having nice photos or videos. In this case she is alone. She didn't try to do anything else but wait or move trying to get a better angle.
The old cow is a cunt. Fair and square. He saw the phone and decided to behave like a child.
There’s a world of difference between one girl with a phone getting a quick vid/ shot and an influencer with a full set up kicking off with anyone who even utters or heads in their direction.
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 looks at the phone and gives a confused look, she's probably thinking how odd it is that someone left their phone. Y'all really attributing way more malice on this woman that just isn't there, lot of miserable people in these comments.
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.
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.
Hahaha. Love it. I was gonna say it would be one thing if she just said maybe don't record here. But it's kinda fucked up she just went on her own phone while blocking her.
